And the winner is…

Alright I’ve made a decision. Actually, you made it for me. Last weekend I printed out the two possible images for the postcards and put them out at the market with a score card. Then I asked people to vote on which image – the rabbit or the lion – they would be more likely [...]

The people at AvantCard have decided to throw their weight behind the exhibition by featuring one of my images for a run of postcards all throughout Melbourne in the weeks prior to the opening. If you haven’t come across them before, Avant Cards are a brilliant company that distribute free postcards throughout Australian cities. [...]

Exhibition website

  Yes – we have a name! And yes it is all coming together spookily well! So without further ado… I hereby launch the new exhibition website and invite you to have a look. Most excitingly I have released four paintings for pre-sale. These pieces will still form a vital part of the exhibition of course – but [...]

Help! Name my exhibition

I have some tentative names for the exhibition and I’d love to hear your opinions. Please help! Do you think any of these conjure up my work (the animals oil-paintings series) or at least sound intriguing? I’ve had pages of ideas but these seem to be the closest and the ones that make it sound [...]

Mondoodle 08-03-2010

Over the weekend I have done two markets. The first was in the St Kilda Town Hall on Saturday. For those of you not in Melbourne, it was wrath-of-god type of day. I was well-inside the beautiful old hall – well-dwarfed by tall arches, well-sheltered by lofty ceilings… when half-way through the afternoon the skies [...]

Let there be Guppies

I have just discovered guppies. How did that take so long? It’s funny how many things I’ve been completely disinterested in until I drew one and suddenly shazaam. Instant obsession!

In the shadows of the night

You may have seen me working on this one at recent markets. Well, in the last week I’ve moved it and the cafe rabbit down to the living room to finish them off (too hot upstairs!) and here he is. I’m still making slight adjustments to the chair and background tones… but otherwise he’s about [...]

Too hot for the studio

So I’ve relocated downstairs to paint. One day I’ll have a nice air conditioner or at least well-paid polar bears waving ice cubes, but until then, there are some days you just don’t want to be up here. Tin roof and me caught between the sun and the hot air rising… There were people up here [...]
