The Ruby Tuesdays - Something happens on a Tuesday

A group of friends and I have been getting together recently, to test out and enjoy the benefits of a tuesday night shoot at various locations in and around Melbourne. Known as the Ruby Tuesdays we tend towards various locals of disrepair, desolation and isolation. Fun all around.
These are some of my own photography from the time but I will post up the others stuff in the next few Blogs.

Quick Update

I'm sorry but I don't often post 2 days in a row but I have just opened up one of my presents I bought for myself from Japan and am crowing about it now. All I can say is that if you are a designer/artist/desktop publisher you should get a Wacom Tablet.

My first effort doesn't do it justice but here it is below:


The smoothness, the detail and even the fun little things like turning the stylus upsidedown as an automatic eraser just make working so much smoother.




But try it out yourself. I'm just going to need more hours in the day to test it out.

Oh and look at my previous post for Lara Luz when you get a chance

Photographer Profile - Lara Luz

Since I haven't been posting my own photos so much recently I thought I should show you some of the great photographers I get to catch up with.


Lara Luz Concert, Portrait, Creative, Artistic and Fun Photographer



Concert Website

Red Bubble Site


With an unnerring eye for the dramatic, a sixth sense for darkness and a habit of making seemingly normal situations highly intriguing Lara gets to photograph some of the best live bands Melbourne has to offer. Considering she also steps out to do portraiture, creative and artistic shooting as well I'll have to just focus on the concerts for now.












So please have a look at all her work, this is just one aspect of it and enjoy.

Someones been sketching.

So I should explain that I've been sketching a little more recently. A little more excitedly and a little more fervently. But I have also recently tried to make my T-shirts look more interesting by adding the balaclava posing rocker to show off the styles.

So to introduce my sketches:


/\ The Flying Ship /\

/\ The Cheshire Cat Grin/\

/\ The Monkey Powered Tugboat /\


/\ Leap with Boots/\

/\ This Penguins Got a Gun/\
