The Milford Track
The Milford Track is regarded as 'one of the finest walks' in New Zealand. It's a 53.5 km walk over 4 days through the fiordlands. The experience has been nothing short of spectacular. The process of painting these landscapes have provided temporary relief to the withdrawal syndrome I'm now experiencing as I make an attempt to return to the old life I left behind.

Coke Siege Superbowl 2011
About a year ago, I received an email from a friend asking if I was available to join them in an exciting project that involved "an orc army and some nice hairy creatures". That description in itself was enough to make me drop everything and jump onboard. I soon found out that the project was for a Coke ad that would be screened during the Superbowl 2011!
As with most ads, this project moved along really fast. I had a couple of days to come up with as many sketches as I could for the characters, which was more realistic in style than what I have usually been contracted to do. The characters in the final ad do not look like any one particular drawing of mine, but I'd like to think some of my ideas may have shaped the look of the characters along the way. The entire project took only 3 months to complete, which was very impressive! I shall share some of my contributions on this project in the next few posts. For now, enjoy the full clip below...in FULL SCREEN.

Coke Siege Development 1
Orcs are some of my favourite things to draw. There is just so much fun in making something all ugly and fearsome. But they are also really difficult as far as originality is concerned. A lot of these drawings represent initial ideas that have yet been fully explored and developed.
