Robots

Did you ever watch ‘Felix the Cat’ on TV as a kid? The inanimate objects all seem to be writhing with personalities of their own. The show was wild with dreamy LSD spinoff.
Anyhow, I’ve always felt that inanimate objects have a life, and the easiest way for us as humans to both communicate to and understand these little (and sometimes MASSIVE) guys, is through character and our personalities.
I’m seeing things I hadn’t before.. Meet my new friends, across the front we have Light, Wind and Heat, and behind them is Plotter. Oh and the guy underneath is Standy.

Vouching for the 30 hour day

Pretty Pool

My Port Hedland adventures continue with the painting of a toilet block at the main swimming spot, Pretty Pool. The hot weather and the wind made painting difficult. A mermaid on the left for the girls, merman on the right for the guys and Neptune in the middle for the disabled.

Gift for the Buck

I celebrated a good mates bucks party by painting him a portrait. His expression is meant to portray the nostalgia he may have when thinking back to youthful, irresponsible binge-drinking times. Happy travels Chris!

Taking My Demon Out

I travelled up to Port Hedland last weekend and spent Friday afternoon teaching highschool kids how to make stencils. They then, much to their teacher’s dismay and to their delight, preceeded to spraypaint the interior of their art-room.
The next day I attended the PortBound festival. There was a dunking machine and heaps of other interactive goodies for the locals. Very impressive for a small town.
I was one of the sideshows, painting for the most part of 5 hours I produced the artwork below. It’s about trying to be rid of your demons while they constantly try and entice you back to the darkside.

Walkington Theatre, Karratha

I was asked to paint the ageing ticketing booth for the Walkington Theatre in Karratha. It’s really such a nice space, they have a huge outdoor screen/ampitheatre which lends itself to lazy nights under the Pilbara sky.
