Just a quick journal update,
If you sent me an email over the last 6 months asking why I wasn't creating any new artworks, then seeing all these new works being posted, it's because I initially had no plans to create any illustrations in 2009, but have been recently approached by Brisbane rockers Dead Letter Circus [link] to collaborate on a series with them. I've already turned down some jobs this year but couldn't say no to these guys after listening to their tracks.
A little info, I'm working on a series for their upcoming album which is being produced by David Bottrill (Tool, Mudvayne, Muse, Godsmack). I'm not sure which works will become part of the series but I'll be sure to post that info when the time comes, probably around the album release.
Secondly, they have an upcoming tour planned with the Butterfly Effect, beginning in July. Check out their tour dates [link] and go catch a show if your in Aussie at the time.

Cheers

Ok, so I'm a little nervous about doing this since the last time I gave something away for free it was taken advantage of by a small group in China, but what the hell. This is an experiment that I've wanted to do for a while and anyone who wants to take part is more than welcome.

I'm giving away the original .PSD file of my piece Once Human 5 (seen here [link] ) for anyone to download and to recompose the original piece into whatever they see fit.

You can completely destroy the image and build it back up, or you may choose to add your own stylistic touches and elements to the work. In any case be as creative as you can!

------------
The original file is saved in .PSD format and as such you will need Adobe Photoshop or an alternative PSD compatible image editor.
This particular file doesn't contain too many layers, (most of my illustrations have 100+ layers) so the layers in this should be easy to navigate.

My only rule is that you don't try to pass the original piece off as your own either for commercial or non commercial purposes.
I'm providing this file in good faith and only expect this one rule to be respected.

Apart from that, you have free reign over the work, and are free to use your creation for any commercial work you may have in mind.

I would very much appreciate either an email, comment or message with a link to your design. I'd love to see others interpretations of the work.

I can be contacted either through my website [link]

or through MySpace at [link]

As well as RedBubble at [link]

and of course at DA [link]

I also provide Royalty Free textures which you can use in your work from [link]


OK that's all I need to say, get stuck into it!
Peace & Love

Just a quick note, a lot of people seemed to really enjoy my free textures. A few months ago I had to remove them from my site [link] because of some problems I was having with some oversees sneaky bum heads who tried to kill my server. So since then the only textures I’ve been able to provide were on my Deviant Art page or through purchasing my texture collections CD [link]

Well I have good news, my collection of royalty free textures are now up on my website for everyone to use again. I still have them on my Deviant Art page and for people who don’t want to download them all, I still offer my textures CD from my website as well.

Enjoy.
