This has been such an interesting exhibition to be involved in. There is a great line up of artists on board and I’m really eager to see what everyone has created in response to their paper pack. My response involved some extraordinary wordplay ;)

Amazingly all works are under $100 so please come along to the opening this Friday night and show your support for Artworkers.

Here are some sneak peeks of my 3 pieces that will be on show in the Ah! Melody exhibition opening at Mart Gallery, Sydney on Thursday evening. The inspiration for my works has come from the legendary music of Jimi Hendrix. I’m really excited as these new works represent a shift in focus from my dot style to my developing illustrated typographic style. I hope you can make it!

I’m part of a group show opening this Thursday May 6th at Mart Gallery, Sydney. The show titled Ah! Melody is being curated by the talented and lovely Kareena Zerefos and features 18 Australian artists who have produced work for the show inspired by their favourite songs. The artists include Anna Pogossova, Anton Benois, Daniel Dittmar, Elspeth Grew, Bei Badgirl, Phillip Brendon Harkness, James Jirat Patradoon, Sarah Hankinson, Mia Taninaka, Hannah Smith, Blackwood, Mitchell Vs Ferrie, esjay, Wil Loeng, Jefske, Bec Winnel and Kareena Zerefos.

I’m loving the poster, it was a collaboration between Kareena and I with myself drawing the type.

Sneak peeks coming soon…

Tribal Theatre is going to be wonderful new addition to the Brisbane arts scene! In place of where the old Dendy theatre stood it supports emerging film makers and the arts, showing art house and cult movies, comedy nights, film festivals and many other community events. Opening night is the 11th of March and I’ll be showing some of my works in a mini exhibition alongside Ellen Stapleton, Clarissa Bones, Natalie Perkins and S.J. O’Connor. Please come along and show your support! RSVP is essential and tickets are limited so make sure you RSVP very soon.

Just a gentle reminder that there are still some ‘Once Upon’ artworks available for purchase online :) Pick up a great Christmas present while supporting Australian artists. Can’t get much better than that!! I’ve recently sold another leaving only two originals still available however I’m also offering limited edition prints to those that are interested.

The lovely Angela and Renee of Leeloo have posted photos of the ‘Once Upon’ exhibition opening night. Head this way to take a look.

If like me you were unable to make it to the opening of ‘Once Upon’ last Thursday night and would like to take a look at the magical works created especially for the show by all the artists they are now on the Once Upon website. All remaining unsold artworks are also available for purchase from the site. I’m sad to have missed the opening as I’ve heard it was fantastic with a great response from all who came along. As selling artworks is all still new to me I’m very delighted to know that someone is taking one of my treasures and giving it a new home. ;)

Just a little reminder that Leeloo’s 2nd birthday exhibition ‘Once Upon’ opens tonight at Ambush Gallery, Sydney. It’s an exhibition full of some very talented artists who have created amazing works for an allocated fairytale especially for the exhibition. Unfortunately I’m not able to make it down but if your in Sydney please go along and say hello to my 4 works inspired by Peter and the Wolf. I definitely think its shaping up to be a very memorable night!
