BLENDER MAGAZINE - THE AXE HAS FALLEN

Last week i received disheartening news that my trusty client Blender magazine has folded. According to various sources on the web, advertising dollars had began to fall as a result of the economic crisis and Alpha Media group decided to pull the plug, with this month's issue featuring Kelly Clarkson on the cover, being it's last. Blender had been a regular client of mine since the August 2008 issue, I was privileged to be given the 'Ask Blender' feature each issue to illustrate. And working with the immensely talented Art director Rob Vargas was always a pleasure. For the next issue which sadly will never be in print form, we worked on an epic 4 full page, full colour Comic on metal band Mastodon's infamous visit to New York Comic Con. I will keep it under wraps until an avenue is found for it to be published, online no doubt. 

So, I thought I would take this post to republish each illustration I worked on with Blender. From the first issue up until the last. You will be sadly missed Blender.

BLENDER MAG - STAGE DEATHS

Illo for the latest BLENDER magazine on famous stage deaths. This guy is Les Harvey from the Scottish Rock Band (and very Ocker named) STONE THE CROWS! In 1972, a great year for FORD in Australia with the XA being the first Australian designed Ford which, was followed up by the famous Mad Max XB model (which I am proud to say I own one) and the year Gough Whitlam became Prime Minister. So in 1974, Les Harvey became the victim of electrocution when he bent down to touch an unearthed mic. The same thing happened to my Dad around the same year - early 70s - Malcolm Donnelly who was in the Australian Pub Rock Band REDHOUSE, luckily he didn't die, but after touching his amp stack which was unearthed, the shock flung him back off the stage into the air. Crazy 70s rockers! Checkout http://ozblogdownunder.blogspot.com/2007/02/redhouse-i-like-dancing-1-song.html

And these 16mm films of the gang performing in and around Geelong. Dad is the one with the big moe! Which Moe is up to you!
