Here’s an infographic I recently completed for FHM Australia.
The size of the circle represents where a shark is likely to attack you. According to the article sharks don’t actually like the taste of human beings (if they did “it would not be safe to go into the water at all”). For some reason that doesn’t make me feel any safer…
Check out the January ‘09 issue of FHM Australia (on sale December 1) for the full story.
This illustration was for Motor magazine (Australia) and one of my first forays into the world of 3D.
I was given some reference material and asked to illustrate the racing line around a corner (this route minimizes time spent in the corner, while maintaining speed).
The green arrow represents the correct racing line, the red one shows the way to the ditch.
An illustration for an upcoming story in FHM about websites that allow people to post defamatory comments online
I will upload a scan of the full story once the magazine its newsstands in December.
This illustration is a parody of an Australian television program called Hole in the Wall.
Based on a Japanese game show, Hole in the Wall requires celebrity contestants to fit through holes in a styrofoam wall moving towards them.
The results are often hilarious. Here’s a video clip of the original (and best) Japanese version:
This illustration was commissioned for an article in FHM on so called ’smart bombs’.
According to New Scientist magazine, the US air force is trying to develop a cluster weapon that would release a swarm of ‘bomblets’ – each identifying and pursuing an individual target.
The question is: how would this weapon distinguish between combatants and civilians? As I tried to show in this illustration a simple red cross can be interpreted as a field target or a field hospital.
You can read the original – and frankly alarming – New Scientist article here.
These illustrations were for the FHM money section.
I came up with concepts for the four types of investments covered in the article:
These illustrations were designed just two weeks before the 2008 economic crisis.
Each illustration accompanied instructions for the treatment of neglected organs, including the heart (time-bomb); lungs and liver (filters); bowel (plumbing) and skin (outer layer).

The story compared the United States to great – but ultimately flawed – civilisations like Rome, ancient Greece and the Maya.
Close to deadline – but with no photos for the travel page – I was asked to create this illustration for FHM Australia.
The page was about working as a tour guide, bus driver or cook for an European tour company.
Initially the highway sign was going to be a simple metaphor for working and traveling around Europe, but as I developed the idea I was able to include a few other concepts (the roundabout as analogy for the repetitious nature of touring, the blue ‘Services’ sign for the duties carried out by the staff).
You can view the full travel page here.
This illustration was for a story about customs officials searching your iPod for illegally downloaded content.
Not sure exactly how they would enforce this (you can read the story here), but it’s a scary thought – imagine the ‘iPod line’ at customs.
This illo was turned around pretty quickly. I came up with the concept and illustrated it within 24 hours.
