I'VE MOVED!

I'm moving this blog over to my new website here ... so from now on, I'll be posting at www.ponygoldstudio.com/blog

Also, there's a few examples of my graphic design work up on the website too :)

VIDEO: TRUE TO THIS

I'm really excited to share this little video that Volcom put together -- with the camera-wielding talents of Danny Camara, direction by Kim Reynolds and weirdo ramblings by me (plus cuteness from the dog Humble!).

Anyway, it's mostly about why art is important -- to me and to the world. Check out the full piece here.

HOWL

I want to fill books with good drawings and turn the Stones up real loud and get drunk on my back verandah and light a fire and howl at the moon and not be afraid of anything. But most of all, I want to remember to do the things that make me feel like doing those kind of things. 

WANDERING: CUMBERLAND CONSERVATION RESERVE

Volcom Reflections crew and Petalhead skirt, Harley Davidson boots. 

We didn't quite make it to the snow (and anyway, dogs aren't allowed …) but we did make it to some amazing alpine eucalyptus forests.
And I saw a lyrebird for the first time in my life.

But seriously, do any Australian's know where you can take dogs to play in the snow in Victoria? 

SKETCHBOOK: SUN IN WINTER

A few pages from my sketchbooks lately -- looking back over these, I think studying design has made me want to experiment with typography in illustration a little more … Never a bad thing. 

WANDERING: ICELAND

It's taken me almost a year to work through these photos and polaroids … This might be because Iceland was so incredible I couldn't narrow it down to a few snaps, or maybe because I'm a terrible procrastinator.

Either way, here they are -- a week wasn't nearly enough to explore this amazing, out-of-this-world country. I definitely hope to make it back for a better look.
