Yellow Beakface

Thanks! I like your stuff too. Ever seen stuff by Polish painter Beksinski? One of my favourite artists. Your style reminds me of him

What a fabulous collection of illustrations you have, this one is my favourite so far.

Thanks! How funny, I was just looking at your profile when you commented.
They will be fore sale and there are many more, just have to get around to it, same ole thing…having a solo show in Melb in 2 months frantically getting ready for it

HA ! Is that cos you were looking at Ange’s Led Zep blog ?!

Yep! I searched ‘led zeppelin’.. was hoping someone had done a portrait of Jimmy Page or something..came across the blog. MOST of my art was done while listening to Led Zep :) Hey..maybe I should do a portrait of jimmy page…no, wait, he’d end up with goggles or feathers or something

Wow, bizarre creature! Love the teeth behind the beak mask.

Thanks! I feel I should explain… my beakfaces are lizard-like creatures that wish they were birds. They try really hard to be birds, but never will be…

Original and strong work!.

Impressive work!!

Your work is great - where/when is the show going to be? I’d love to see these ‘in the flesh’! Really like the narrative you’re building up - a whole alternative world and cosmology

Thanks everyone! My show will be in early November, at the Brunswick Street Gallery. Just a small room for me, as it’s my first solo one. I’ll post something in the what’s on forum, it would be cool if anyone in the area could pop in. Nice to meet some RBers in the flesh!

This is fabulous!!! Just like all your other pieces. Fresh and different-fabbo!!!!

Thanks for the beakface explanation, it’s made me more interested in your creatures :)

You have a lot of style in your work! Fantastic!

A definite fav’. Keep me posted on your show i will be there!!!!!!!!

I love your art, you are incredibly talented.

love it

wauw

Another really clever artwork from … FIREDRAKE! I love how you have some litte surprises hiding in your artworks and again, the simplicity of your backgrounds set off your work beautifully.

Interesting work …....I adore your talent ! Bravo !!!

Also very beautiful!

i would love to see him unmasked, good creation

Oh yeah love this one!

Wots under the beak if its held on by elastic?

Thank you everyone.
Yes my backgrounds are quite bleak. I often think about putting something there and then think…naaah.
PeterJames and LostBoy – NO ONE may see the beakface un-beaked. Not even me! I once started drawing a beakface without the beak…and then I ripped it up in fear!!

Firedrake: Brilliant use of yellow. Great sweeping downward movement. Great job.

Lovely

Cuckoo Cuckoo! ;)

Hmmm, can’t be seen without the mask. Spooky ‘ol things!

Nice :) Really Nice!

like a stukka divebomber bird, consistently great work firedrake!

Beautiful! Love it!

A nice stroke of a pen, with a fully-fledged style. Really a great job.
