I am immersed in the very silly world of Samurai vs Ninja. Currently working on images for books 3 and 4. This guy is my suggested image for the back cover of book 3.
He reminds me a little of myself at the moment. Not only am I working on several publishing projects at the moment I have started a PhD at the University of Canberra. I hope to become a Doctor of Silly Drawings! This should keep me out of trouble for a few years.
These are a few early concept ratings for Buta sama for book in the Samurai vs Ninja series. I am trying out a new cloak for Buta to wear to a festival event. I am liking it so far as I also get to play with it in a very Batman cape kind of way.
This is a basic step by step guide on how to draw a ‘Ninja’ in the style of the Samurai vs Ninja books. Feel free contact me if you would like some steps to other characters from my books.

I have been lucky enough to participate in the Sydney Writers’ Festivals, first children’s ‘Festival of Moving Stories’. This has involved drawing bus sized characters (see older posts for ‘Russ the Story Bus’), School talks with a host of other Authors and illustrators and the totally amazing stage experience of ‘Stories from the Pyjamaverse’.
Story from the Pyjamaverse was a heap of fun. There was an amazing line of readers, the very talented and funny MC/author Mr Will Kostakis. I sat at my throne on stage creating drawings for each story as it was read. In between stories Will and the audience attempted to stump me with increasingly silly drawing requests.

Events like these would not be possible without the support of the staff and board of the Sydney Writers Festival and a large number of dedicated volunteers.
