Artist's Comments

My real job has been keeping me very busy, so I havn't had time to do any artwork.

However I was encouraged pick up the pencils after the unexpected death of Ozzie icon Steve Irwin, when my youngest daughter (Her gallery: [link]) asked if I could do a drawing of him.

Time unfortunately dictated that this piece ended up being a very quick drawing. I specifically chose reference for the main portrait that was NOT typical of the mad Irwin and selected a circle for the layout because I felt it enhanced the idea of a tribute.

That is one amazing piece of work. Such a shame that he had to leave this world too early.
Beautiful work, fast or not.. you've captured the essence of the man. A wonderful tribute for your daughter, my sons, and fans all over.
