5 Random Facts

1 - In my art school days living in inner city Sydney I had an unforgettable ugly and quite frightening encounter with a very famous artist. It happened in our share house well after the local pub's closing time and what I understand was a binge of several days.

2 - My job of 13 years is a Deuce Bigalow style Aquarium and Pond service/installation business. A lot of the people we see are quite well off and it's great for art spotting, from paintings in houses to sculptures sometimes in and around ponds.

3 - Recently I've renewed my interest in skateboarding, old school style.

4 - I love fishing, but haven't had time to do too much of it lately. I love the pre-dawn outings, hiking to discover remote areas by foot or boat. The only thing better than connecting and landing a great fish is safely letting it go.

5 - I'm allergic to morons.

Dancers

These are from the last two weeks of drawing. Both models are dancers and a pleasure to draw. (note - I might have mentioned my decent camera busted, I'm using a vid cam to take these pics and hopefully theyl'll improve once I get a real one)

Breathing Space at Jenny Port Gallery, Melbourne

A good selection of my car paintings will be amongst some other fabulous art from November 21 at Jenny Port Gallery in Richmond. This is my first participation in Melbourne in a commercial gallery and hopefully not my last, but sadly it doesn't look like I'll make it down. I'd love to hear from anyone that can get there, or take a pic for me..
