A long overdue post....
..and a quickie. Happy new year all. I've been a little quiet, hectic times, Life Drawing group is on a break till Feb, I'm not feeling too inspired to post images as I still need to replace my doorstop with a decent camera... but I have updated my website a little with some more recent nocturnal road series paintings, here's a couple...
And I've also been acquiring the odd little treasure like this lovely piece from Dianne Gall

Tagged!
I've been tagged! Thanks Triecia for the tag, will do my best to keep it going.. better late than never.
The Rules
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog. 2. Share 5 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird. 3. Tag 5 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs. 4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
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.
Links to Tagee's
1 - Muscles Marinara - Brownie Troop 666
2 - Lauren Brown
3 - Poco Cuadro
4 - Well Fed, Well Read
5 - Ben Rowe
Not sure if any of them will play along, but fingers crossed.

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..
