I’ve been updating this site a little. While updating my site I might as well update my blog. Last time I wrote it was 2018. So. What does life look like at the moment?Its so interesting that my last post on here was about attending my first ever life drawing class. That was three years ago! Time is fake. Anyway attached to one of those Stable Art Events nude life drawing sessions – one day a model dropped out at the last minute and the facilitator asked me if I...

Last night I went to my first life-drawing session. It was with Ali Fran of The Stable Art And Design at Urban Paradise Gallery. I had a lovely time. Alison was a lovely host, and the gallery is a pretty great place for this sort of thing, in the break I had a chat with various people about the art on display at the gallery. Drawing is not my strength as an artist, and drawing figures is something else again. Last year for a while I maintained a daily drawing practice,...

Hi there! I’ve been steadily working on my Brisbane series. Some time in the last couple of weeks I ended up making a tonne of new postcards.

So, here I’m going to highlight the next 5 pieces in the series, from number 11 to number 15. This is number 11 in the series. It was...

Hi there! I’d like to write about the next five cards in my Brisbane Series project. Last time I wrote I took you through the first five images in the series. Now I’d like to show to show the next five. This is the sixth card in the series. It was created with coloured pencil and acrylic paint. This one was something of a failed experiment. I wanted to create something subtly disturbing. Bright purple with yellow to me can have a little bit of a toxic feel to...
