Muttaburra
/I caught up with the Muttaburrasaurus and few locals recently to create a couple of fresh community murals.

It was fantastic to return to Redland Museum to complete mural number five. This time I was given the challenge of creating a backdrop replicating the inside of a printery workshop. I found plenty of inspiration within the display and after some research I put together a concept. The committee made a few suggestions and a second draft was developed to accommodate the refinements and ensure historical accuracy. As always it was a pleasure to compliment all of the staff and volunteers hard work in the museum.
Earlier this year I was contacted by the team at Hamilton Hayes Henderson architects to create a mural on an upcoming project. The brief was to reference the history of the site as the apartment building is located where the original Southport railway station operated until 1964. I explored a few options through the concept development stage and came up with a mandala inspired design as my recommended option. After some minor refinements approval was granted and its was time to get cracking. I tried to harness the energy from the jackhammering, concrete cutting and earthshaking machinery operating nearby. At times I could barely hear myself think on the construction site but the contractors were very accommodating and great to work alongside. This was an exciting project to be involved with as only a few times in my career has a client built a wall with a mural in mind.
I was recently contacted by the principal at Grandchester State School to transform an undercover area with some art. I had a great time working at Grandchester and hope the murals will serve the school community for many years to come.
After returning from Sydney for a brief rest I packed the mural truck and headed west. I had an awesome time painting three large feature walls at the Barcaldine Gym. Its always a pleasure returning to Central Queensland.
Cyan, White and Tangerine etc.
A big thanks to FSG Australia for getting me along to the 1st Colour Us event at Ballina TAFE.
It was awesome to contribute to the buzz of the new Kofte Burger at Capalaba Central Shopping Centre.
