S U M M I N G _ U P

It was one week ago today that 22 of my paintings hung neatly on the white walls of China Heights Gallery awaiting their viewing.  It's also taken me one week to get back to a headspace thats acceptable for being in the world.  It was such a whirlwind weekend and its hard to believe that 4 months of preparation and furious shape painting can be over at the snap of my fingers.

A big time thank you to all the people who managed to make it to the show on opening night and over the weekend, those who sent their well wishes from afar, those who shared the happenings on social media, those who posted interviews with me and articles before the show, and the people who took photos of the work and captured the opening night. It was awesome to meet the people who inspire me and hear that I inspire them as well. I feel like there was a lot of love and support thrown square in my face and I'm forever grateful. 

Although the exhibition is over there is still work available. Have a look through the catalogue here and if you're interested feel free to get in touch with me or with China Heights directly - gallery@chinaheights.com.

Big thanks to Gonçalo Mendonça, Lyndsay Noyes and Ed Woodley for the snaps.

LOW BRO'S

Low Bro's! I am absolutely in love with the work of these German guys.  Everything just keeps getting better and better. 

I love seeing creatives in their zone. Recent projects can be seen on the LB Facebook page but here's an old vid of the guys
working on a piece for Dirty Face's Ten Ten project back in 2011.

THE ART HUNTER

About two weeks ago now I had a dear friend connect me to The Artistry.  From there and in one week I worked with them to design and execute an ambitious piece that is now part of The Art Hunter :)

The Art Hunter is a collaborative effort by Jaguar and The Cool Hunter, ultimately launching the new Jag C-X17 concept car and showcasing the work of an outstanding number of local and international creatives. Facilitated and curated by both The Artistry and Palmer Art Projects the display is wacky, and encapsulating.  Beginning as an empty warehouse in Alexandria, the space was transformed into a series of rooms where static and interactive art now exists.

The show boasts amazing work from CJ Hendry, The Writing's Tania Debono, Oliver Tanner, Phil James, Hendrik Gericke and Dorryce Rock, to name a few. The exhibition will be up until the end of March and is located at 90-96 Bourke Rd, Alexandria (directly across from The Grounds).

I'm so grateful to be a part of such an exciting project and work with so many great people. The work I have created for the space helped me step out of my comfort zone and create something that I am extremely proud of.  Thanks to everyone who has made this such an incredible experience so far :) xo

HM FOR DCUP. VOL II

Melbourne based producer extraordinaire DCUP has another single out and this one is the absolute bees knees. Have a listen to Someone Told Me via his soundcloud or better yet listen and see the clip below. Again, I was lucky enough to nab the job of doing the artwork for the track :)

Another year and another set of cards. Adelaide based stationary company A Happy Death Paper Co have released a bunch of new cards from their artists over the past week including new designs from Chrissie Abbott, Milk & Masuki, Victoria Garcia, Hilary Thackway and Sam Songailo to name a few.  I have three new designs available as well.  There are a bunch of stockists around but you can also get them through the web store.
