'Furst' at 399

'Where is my mind'

Along with some other great artists, my work is up at 399 for a couple of weeks. There are framed originals for sale, plus a run of 5 prints for each. Get down and check them out and enjoy a glass of wine. (399 William St, Perth)

Birds!

I drew this for an illustration group. It was meant to be a parrot but I couldn't find any nice reference so I drew this from memory. I used to draw birds like this a few years ago, not so much now. Plus my art utensils are still in a moving box so she's a little plain.

Panda Cruz

Completed live art for Bike Week, 'Panda Cruz'. Based on my ex-girlfriends, nanna's cookie jar that we had in our kitchen.

Live art for 'Bike Week'

So I ride a bike. Everywhere. I don't own a car. That said, I will be involved in some live art this Saturday down in Northbridge for 'Bike Week'. So come down and check it out if you are free. I'm on at 915am and there are 7 artists painting bikes. Should be fun! Better yet don't come down, I'll be nervous and it will just be awkward.

Glassin is a heinous crime...

'Glassing isn't cool'

I came across this old style I was experimenting with about two years ago. Out of three, this was the most completed one. I kinda like it more now.

Perth College Exhibition

Last year I was lucky enough to be contacted by Perth College and invited to submit works to their annual exhibition.
The Champagne Opening is on Friday 8th of April from 6pm. It would be great to see some familiar faces, so if you have the time and a spare 25 beans you should come down and check out some of Perth's emerging artist. Apparently it sells out each year!

Fortunately Unfortunately.

- 20 min quick sketch-

This is something I'm looking at following sometime in the future. A more suggestive style, opening up the piece for the viewer to perceive more of what they think is going on, rather than painting/drawing in an obvious fashion.

'PAIGE'

The one above I feel I could have done better.

It's the same picture but I wish I didn't develop
it as much as I have and its still unfinished. Oh well.


'SKYLA'


Untitled

Ok, so next time I decide to take time off to paint I'm doing it in winter when I don't have to worry about melting in my studio!

That aside, I have managed to complete a few more drawings and try my hand at spray painting. I have a rough illustration (above) and hopefully with some practice I'll be able to spray it - fingers crossed. If anyone has a wall I can practice on let me know.

I was fortunate enough to go to Bali recently for a couple of weeks. It was great! Being sick still, after getting back a week ago, not so great. I haven't completed as many pictures as I was hoping to for the stage I'm at, but I'm sure there are lessons I've learned that I just haven't recognized yet - I think...
