Despite the thunder and lightning getting thrown around last night, I headed down to The Fort to check out the “Fly on the Wall” show, featuring SOFLES, LISTER, SAIKOE, BLIGS, YUIN HUZ and GLOUCESTER. It was kept to just the front two rooms of the Fort, but there was an amazing amount of quality art there, so much colour everywhere. The paint spilled from one canvas to the next, across the walls and really needs to be seen in person. The show is up til Feb 18 so make sure you check it out!

I was offered to do a couple of caps again this year for 696’s fundraiser show “Get Trucked” and jumped at the chance. I only had a day to get these two done but am pretty happy with both of them. This year the show is being run as a Semi-Permanent Side Event while the conference is on. Opening night is October 8th, but the show will be up from the 6th-14th October. The caps will be shown at Per Square Metre, 191-193 Johnston Street, Collingwood and raises funds for Canteen, so if you’re nearby go check it out!

I was finding it a bit tiring having to upload to two places, so I’m concentrating on uploading to my facebook fan page – SQUIDTANK Facebook Fan Page

Please sign up as a fan over there to keep up to date with all the squids, as well as first looks at new art.

Who better to follow on from Marilyn Mansquid then the devil himself. I was a little reluctant to make him so shiny, but I couldn’t resist. I wonder what/who tomorrow will bring …

I remember I first drew this guy about 3-4 years ago, when I did a bunch of various ’squid based’ characters (I suppose that idea had been lying dormant in my mind until now). I’ve always loved drawing Marilyn Manson, his makeup is so iconic that its almost too easy to draw.

This will be probably the shiniest of all the 30 squids!

Heres one of my fav ones so far, Teenage Mutant Ninja Squid. I had to make sure I included the freckles, thats one of my favourite things about the early turtle designs.

Oooops, forgot to post this guy up yesterday. He was actually one of the first designs I did, but I figured I save him until now. Let me know what you think!

Following on from yesterday’ sushi squid, comes squid chef. He loves to cook anything and everything, but loves watching people enjoy his meals even more.

Pretty happy with how this guy turned out, though my girl made a good suggestion that I add some sesame seeds to him, unfortunately I was out of time Maybe I’ll do a bunch of different sushi squids? This fella is topped with mayo, but don’t forget to dip him in some soy sauce too!
