Another snapshot

Cracks in the stump of a very big tree that was recently cut down in my front yard. I love wood. I want to carve it.

A snapshot...

And now for something completely different...

Love bones

This may form part of an installation somewhere in the Moonee Valley area soon. Keep your eyes peeled!

Published!

Imagine my surprise last year to find that someone had taken a photo of one of my stencils and sent it into the local paper! Weird.. Even weirder that they actually published it!! Thank you who ever you are!

Hot off the press...

"I just keep walking forward right?"

brief sketch...

Theres been some articles in the local paper recently about folks that are struggling under the current weight of rising prices, the housing shortage and such. This is a brief sketch I made from a photo of a pensioner who is struggling to make ends meet. There was a front page story of a guy who is living in an abandoned car in Airport West.

Prosperity my arse.

Trusting the line

Alot of the time I agonize over my images and drawings. Never satisfied, I put alot of pressure on myself and I think this often strangles the vitality out of anything I do. An idea that begins to germinate is often ruined by these expectations. I start a drawing and often try to "fix" things I know arent right. This mostly leads to a busy strangled mess. Trusting the line, not knowing exactly where it will lead (maybe nowhere?) or what it will produce is something I have been attempting the last couple of days, by drawing with pen, straight from life. Which I do from time but not nearly enough. Its a good discipline. Learning to trust your line is important, I feel, if drawing is to become more fluid.
