The Swell Sculpture Festival at Currumbin Beach has been showing for the last fortnight but we only got out to catch it yesterday morning, before it closes today. We took Miffy with us because there aren’t many art events you can take your dog to! We are bestowing on her an education in the creative…

Vintage Garage Exhibition
A few weeks ago my work was in an exhibition as part of the launch of Vintage Garage, a Melbourne store selling rare and unique and nostalgic things. It’s a bit strange having work appear in interstate shows but it’s also very exciting! I’m also really happy that the shows I’ve been doing lately aren’t…
The Illustrators at KILN – starts this Friday night!
I just picked up three of my beautifully framed pieces from Bizarre Framing and dropped them into KILN Gallery for The Illustrators show, a group exhibition I’m so chuffed to be part of. I saw Nigel Buchanan‘s gorgeous giclee prints lined up against the wall, and said hello to Shaun Campbell and his fancy car…
Semi-Permanent showbags
Today I volunteered to pack swag for Semi-Permanent, and we were done in super record time. See, we were moving like ninjas, my phone/camera couldn’t catch up :P I was excited to see my drawing in the book! It started raining as I was waiting for Nick to pick me up so my book got…
Don’t try to pull a comb through paisley and feather hair
I have been doing a lot of commissioned drawings lately, which is awesome! This one is for the lovely Omega and the one below is for Ms Katy. The exhibition opening at KILN was on Friday night, and I still feel terrible about not taking any photos! I was sort of flustered because it was…
My photos from Connect Four: Play
Last night I spent about three hours drawing at this table with the lovely Anna, Shannon and Renee at Connect Four: Play. Anna was writing haikus; Shannon and Renee were doing incredible portraits for people; and I was doodling on brown paper bags! Donations for the drawings and haikus and proceeds from the event went…
Works on Paper at KILN – my first ever exhibition!
So, I am “debuting” at the Works on Paper exhibition at KILN on April 3. I am very excited, almost embarrassingly excited, but at least my enthusiasm falls short of pants-peeingly-excited. I wish I could get the hang of that cool nonchalance that artists are supposed to exhibit! I am showing alongside some wonderful artists.…
Come see me at Connect Four: Play
On March 28 I’ll be one of the “artists on demand” at the Connect Four art party in the Valley. From 8 – 10pm I’ll be doodling for donations for Backbone Youth Arts, and you can also see some of my drawings in the multimedia art gallery. RSVP at the facebook event page if you’re…
Brisbane Twestival, why you should come
I’m proud and happy to support and contribute to the Brisbane Twestival, part of the worldwide Twestival celebrations raising money for charity: water. It’s being put on by twitter users all around the world, with a budget of approximately $0, sponsored by a bunch of awesome websites and businesses. I drew up this piece especially…
Never were truer words spoken…
By Chris Piascik [via Meet Me at Mikes]. I am in the middle of trying to get back in to drawing. My arm has been incredibly painful in recent months so I’ve tried to lay off the intensive drawing sessions. I need to organise a proper drawing space with a tilted surface but I just…
