OLD MURALS Part.3


Misty Brae dairy farm. Myponga, early 2007.

This mural was commissioned by Misty Brae Dairy Farm, and painted with Morris Green. They had seen our Tattoo Kings mural in Victor Harbour, and decided to have us do up their farm sheds for an upcoming cow festival...

Gallery Sitting @ The Fleurieu Biennale



Although I was unsuccessful in obtaining a spot in Australia's largest landscape prize this year, I was however given the consolation prize of gallery sitting for a couple of weeks...paid. Being surrounded by some of Australia's most promising art talent is proving inspiring. As you can no doubt see, its not a job for just any man...I've finally made it.

Graffer's Attacking Canvas


Apologies for all the retrospective posting at the moment...Due to general rush and rule of work + life lately. But better late than never right?

First day back from my travels to Brisbane for the National Leaders Conference and Sydney for theJesusWalks exhibition at World Youth Day this year, I was straight back into work with the Graffer's Attacking Canvas aerosol art program. The program, held at the Northern Sound System in Elizabeth (City of Playford council), involved a group of local young aerosol artists who I worked with to develop designs and paint a canvas each, with the finished works being exhibited at the Playford Civic Centre as part of the SALA festival.

Here are some photos for your viewing pleasure...

These are two pieces I did during the workshops...
