my book of stuff and things

**monsi** · May 9th, 2010, 12:41 AM

So this is me finally getting round to putting up a new sketchbook. I've missed showing my things to all the lovely people of the internet, so now I plan to try and update with new stuff fairly often.

I'm 22 years old living in the small town of Sydney, Australia, doing a mixture of freelance concepting/illustration, fine arts study, and 'personal' shit.

I have a group exhibition coming up with a few other people including the spiffy Rodrigo! that we all here love. It's at the Tap gallery in Sydney on June 9.

Enough of that, I shall start trickling out some pictures.

those creamy skintones look great!

**knut-** · May 10th, 2010, 01:56 AM

Very nice use of colors. I like the diacritic outlines or the lack of them.

**Ivan Turcin** · May 10th, 2010, 05:11 AM

So, no doubt you're good with the portaits. On the last one, the man with the hood reminds me of Altair or Ezio (Assassins Creed). I know, geeeekkk

**Jeremy Swan** · May 12th, 2010, 08:52 AM

great sketchbook man, have to agree with the ppls here, loving the zombie paint, sweet dynamics *boom*.

Beatiful Sketchbook monsi, faces all looks so pretty. Waiting for more great art.

cool sb! first one is pretty neat

**saa** · May 13th, 2010, 03:18 AM

Very cool stuff. I think that the placement of the features is especially striking - your proportions are dead on. Great work, keep posting!

**Vatsel** · May 13th, 2010, 05:41 PM

lots of movement!
great tone work and masses!
