(Platonic) Love

Pete — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 11:32:04 +0000

I have a small collection showing at the Brisbane Square Library at the moment (huge thanks to Mark Lobo) called (Platonic) Love.
The illos are my attempt to give non-romantic relationships some of the spotlight that they deserve.

The prints are for sale at Society6 too. (You should buy them. Framed they look amazing.)

(Platonic) Love Since Sonya
(Sonya being a mutual ex-girlfriend)

(Platonic) Love Since Second Semester
(Some of the best people are found at uni)

(Platonic) Love Since First Grade
(It’s a special person you can happily hold on to from primary school)

Wind up love

Pete — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 20:48:51 +0000

Here is a cute little promo piece we animated (at IV Motion) for Todd‘s cute new branding. Sound by Mr Perren. Concept by IV Motion. The turnaround was really tight but these robots were just screaming to get animated.

FreeRange Festival

Pete — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 06:00:45 +0000

I was asked to design all the promo material for Metro Arts‘ FreeRange festival for this year.

It was a really open brief and a whole lot of fun.

Lore With New Lipstick

Pete — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 07:24:00 +0000

I rediscovered an old piece of mine this morning. It’s a collection of micro-fiction I wrote about six years ago.
I (naturally) felt like it needed a new cover, so to celebrate its rediscovery and my adding new lipstick to it I thought I’d hand it out. (Click the cover to download a copy).

If you feel inclined to get a physical copy (which will be very pretty might I add) you can order one from my Lulu store.

Midsummer in Autumn

Pete — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 08:34:49 +0000

My husband is directing A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Centrestage in Spring Hill. It’s going to a hilarious and minimal production of the much loved show.

But husband or no I still had to sell him on my poster ideas. I’m on a giant minimalism trip at the moment so the first concept was very vacant.
…we ended up going with a little more illustration.

The minimal original:

We are Black brow.

Shem in Lines&Light

Pete — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 03:48:59 +0000

Here’s one of the best from our TiNA exhibition Lines&Light. The model is Shem Allen (of Skinny Jean) with his exceptional 1920s-esque quiff. The story is based on the notion that everyone is born with a set number of breaths and upon the exhaling of the last *BAM* fate will end you. Originally I’d thought of having Shem’s newborn son, Django in the shot with him – I loved the idea of time ticking down through the hourglass next to a new life. A finite number of breaths, I decided however, was perhaps a little too morbid and inappropriate for the little Django.
The photo (and all in the collection) is by the attractive Todd Hunter McGaw (his wife’s hot too – they’re one of those hot couples).

Chuffed For TiNA

Pete — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 09:18:04 +0000

I head down to Newcastle for the excitement that is This Is Not Art tomorrow.

Here’s a little blurb about what I’m showing:

“Over the years Pete has acquired many little narrative odds and ends; concepts and lore that he has found exciting, challenging or true. This exhibition is a collection of some of those little pieces that he never found anywhere else to put. Presented once as a staged photo (by Todd) and again as an illustration, the pairs reveal these little ideas As Seen In Lines & Light.”

I was fortunate enough to recruit the talents of local photographer Todd Hunter McGaw and illustrator Natalie Perkins (for the beautiful frames) to create this exhibition. 2 x 8 pieces. The concept is similar to Chris Perren’s on his band’s debut album Mimicry of Lines and Light (iTunes link) and as such the exhibition is called As Seen in Lines & Light. It’s got a nice symmetry to it I think :) – one audible, one visual but both about the natural and the digital. This is why we work so well together – our heads work the same way.

So if you find yourself at TiNA be sure to stop by and say hi. It’s promising to be an ENORMOUS weekend.

This is Learn From Fiction. The book he’s holding is actually The Juniper Tree, a collection of the brothers Grimm. This one is a reminder to hold fiction close; to learn from it. As usual expect to see more soon.

Übermensch

Pete — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 22:19:33 +0000

We (IV Motion) recently polished off VFX and motion design for the QPIX short Übermensch. Adapted from a short story of the same name it plays like a What If, with a “super-man” growing up in Nazi Germany. Powerful stuff. It’ll be starting the festival run soon.
