Shailer Park State School

Lets Play Together! Myself and Mr. Fires were hard at work again on Tuesday with a mural at Shailer Park State Primary School. The Principal at the school wanted a mural which would brighten the space and also remind the children to be inclusive when playing. It’s always a blast to paint at the schools, as the kids always smile and giggle. Hopefully Aerograffix can inspire the next generation of young minds.

The school holidays kept Aerograffix busy with murals on the prep walls.

It was great to return to Shailer Park State School to complete murals at the Tuck Shop and Multipurpose Hall this week.

The Sauce Studio Grand Opening

If you haven’t already seen the flyers or received the invite, here is the most exciting news you’ll hear all day. I’m opening my own art studio! It might not sound like much but it is a massive step as a small business owner and as an artist. Aerograffix has been a great adventure, and I intend to continue creating professional murals, but… As an artist I feel the need to grow, change and create more art which is intrinsically motivated. The studio will operate as a retail and visual art studio which will be managed by Communications and Arts Development Manager, Ainslie Rose. If you come and visit, or send an email, it’s probably her you will be talking with. This way, I can focus on my main passion, art. Opening Night is 23rd March 2013 from 4 p.m. at the studio, shop 4/15 cnr Proudfoots Ln and Commercial Rd Murwillumbah NSW. Hope to see you there!

  

P.S. Don’t forget we’re on Facebook, Twitter, Pintest and Instagram 

Coolnwynpin State School

This week, many months after I started the mural I finished a 75 metre wall. The long delay was caused by the rain that just wouldn’t go away at the start of the year. As a mural artist, there are a few things which are necessary to complete a wall, and one of those things is sunshine. After Cr. Paul Gleeson painted the wall, it was in desperate need of some colour and I think the koalas, lorikeets, possums and other wildlife should brighten the school and bring some cheer to the students and staff. 

Local Artist Travels to Tasmania to Compete.

Professional mural artist Christian Griffiths has been chosen as one of nine finalists for the the fourth year in a row for the International Mural Fest in Sheffield, Tasmania. 

Christian, who is based in Murwillumbah, will travel to Sheffield for the week long competition for the first week of April and paint a mural based on a short poem titled Wild and Free.

Christian said “I’m stoked to be a finalist again for the festival. After winning it in 2011, I wanted the chance to defend the title. It’s also a great opportunity to meet other artists in the industry. It’s also bittersweet as I have to travel interstate just to get recognition for my art. Murals are often overlooked when it comes to public art.”

The annual competition is now in it’s tenth year and due to its success in attracting tourists to the small rural town of Sheffield, it has been replicated in Jamestown, South Australia.

Breaka Burleigh Pro 2013

Today I made some waves at the Breaka Burleigh Pro and painted an artwork which will be auctioned with the proceeds going to charity. There were plenty of questions and cameras in the background while I was painting. I even managed to fit in an interview for the radio. It was nice to be a part of the action. 

XIX LXIX

I am proud to announce that I am a finalist in the International Mural Fest Sheffield. This will be my fourth year as a competitor and I am looking forward to meeting with old friends and seeing some new faces. If you’re in Sheffield for Easter this year, come and visit! 

XIX LXIX by Sauce illuminates the possibilities of the space-time continuum, which as humans, we experience without consciousness. Earth is paradoxical by being both monumental and insignificant. Humanity is constantly seeking physical answers to metaphysical questions which creates barriers and restraints on our own freedom.

2013 Theme Wild and Free

Wild and Free 

Freedom Unrestrained, 

Searches the secret

Re-design, Reduce, Re-use, Recycle.

This week I reached an environmental milestone at Aerograffix, with over three hundred aerosol cans recycled. This was only achievable with the help of the team at Signet who kindly provided Aerograffix with an Aerosolv unit. The Aerosolv unit allows for a safe dispersion of the gas and paint residue or VOCs, which means the cans can be recycled. It’s the small steps like this which work towards reducing our carbon footprint.

Brisbane Pop Culture

January got off to a gutsy and gory start with a five day project at Brisbane Pop Culture, Newstead. Turtle and Em from Brisbane Tattoo requested an Invader Zim and Zombie theme to advertise their latest venture, Brisbane Pop Culture (previously Brisbane Relics), a store dedicated to pop culture collectables. Turtle and Em were great to work for and I really enjoyed the positive feedback from all the passerbys. The Brisbane summer sun and rain tried to get the best of me, but I managed to thrash out some zombies and aliens, regardless of the weather.

Day Off

In late December 2012, Kosie and I had a pre-birthday bash at the legal wall in my home town, Murwillumbah. It was great to spend some time with a mate and just head out for a good old fashioned paint. As you can see in the pictures, the sun was shining and the paint was flowing, and later in the afternoon the beer was flowing too. I can’t wait to do it all again.
