Its was great to catch up with friends and keep busy in Barcy. I accepted a couple of challenging jobs including a very rough brick toilet block, some pavement art and a shipping container. The photos never do the art justice but I am satisfied with the finished projects and its always great to work with pro-active councils and community members who trust my expertise to deliver appropriate public art for the space.
I was kept busy again in Aramac with a number of commissions including a 140m long fence. I always enjoy the super friendly people, inspiring outback landscape and abundance of native flora and fauna. The Lake Dunn Sculpture trail is well worth the visit and I also thoroughly enjoyed my time at White Station Sacred Healing Circle.
Thanks to Barcaldine Regional Council for the opportunity, Aaron Skin for the drone footage and video expertise and Blurgg for the contribution.
It was a pleasure to transform this bedroom for an upcoming birthday. I enjoyed working with an interior colour called Soft Satin Quarter chosen by the birthday girl. The update was completed by the owners complementing the art with new fixtures and matching linens.
I thoroughly enjoyed painting this mural in Pottsville. It reinforced what I love about being a public artist and that’s to engage an audience that wouldn’t normally be interested in art or step foot into a gallery. It’s also rare to paint a wall that is not too big, not too small, reasonably smooth, in good public view without obstructions such as trees, signs and windows. The owners trusted my expertise, I have had a fantastic response and it was fun in the sunshine indeed!
I recently commenced a games room floor mural just south of Brisbane. Im really satisfied how the Trompe Loeil concept works in this space. Theres a few finishing touches and a feature wall to be completed once the furniture is in place.
It was great to return to Mt Cotton State School last week. The school is currently undergoing big changes to cater for growing enrolments and its awesome to contribute to the new look. I had painted a frog on this site back in 2007 and I am super happy to return to give the shed a fresh design.
I recently answered the call to complete a couple of small murals at Tallebudgera Valley State School on the Gold Coast. The Tally Tiger is the coolest cat around so I developed a cartoon version of the school mascot to assist in reinforcing the school mantra and positive behaviour.
Its always a pleasure to be back in my old hood. A fresh fence mural has kind of become a tradition and is a great excuse to catch up with friends despite the rain.
I had a very productive week at Windaroo Valley SHS. Having completed the first mural featuring Captain Green in 2014 it was great to return and brighten up a whole bunch of new sites.
I was recently commissioned to give The Racing Snail Van a fresh coat of paint. With the blessing of a trusting owner allowing me an open brief, I thoroughly enjoyed letting the concept and colour palette evolve. Ensure you give these friendly folk a wave when you see them in Murwillumbah and around the Tweed. Also a huge thanks to Jugs for artistic assistance.
