Muse refuse to lip-sync

Massive props to Jim (and in turn, Minh) for passing on this gem! Hilarious.

Muse bandmembers switched roles when told they had to lip sync for an Italian TV show. Specific details here.

Spacecraft + freelance

Did these sketches at the gallery over the weekend. When you have an exhibition that clashes with the AFL grand final expect a lull in visitors.

Anyone making a sci-fi film or game in the near/immediate future? ;>

I need to get some post-exhibition freelance kickin’.

Need concept art, illustration, commissions, digital painting or graphic design? Shoot me an email and I’ll give you a quote.

Note: I tend to avoid web development. My design specialties are branding and promo materials.

The Preytells (+ Clothespeg exhibition)

I love The Preytells. They kicked off their national tour and album launch last night at the Rosemount and played a great set to an enthused crowd.

They were a definite standout when I first saw them play back in 06, and anyone reading this over east: go see them! They’re  great live and are playing throughout the next few weeks before returning to Perth for another show at the Rosie on 9th October…

Clothespegart

Speaking of October 9… I’ve got some art in Clothespeg Volume 3 opening that night at Slaughterblouse, 451 Beaufort St, 7-10pm. Slaughterblouse is in close proximity to the Rosemount, so come and check out both events!

Bowl o’ cat

This guy clearly hasn’t had enough sleep. Maybe he’s recently had an art exhibition, too!

HQ gallery closed on Monday public holiday

Hi all, sorry for any inconvenience but I’ve just been informed that YMCA completely closes on public holidays. As such, the Apple Cider Tea Party exhibit and gallery won’t be open tomorrow (Monday) despite saying so on the flyers.

I’ll be here today (Sunday) til 4pm, and the exhibition will continue running Tuesday and Wednesday 9am-5pm.

Last chance to catch me at the gallery (10-4)

Well, potentially. I’m not sure what’s happening tomorrow, check back tonight for status update if you’re planning on going tomorrow. I’ll be there from 10am – 4pm today.

It was only yesterday I realised that tomorrow is a public holiday. Clearly I’m not in tune with the ~working world~, every day’s a painting day! Anyway, I don’t know if YMCA typically opens on public holidays. Being a youth-centric operation I’m hoping it will be open and staffed, otherwise I might have to do a 9-5 stint.

Highly amusing. Caution: Abundant swearing!

Slipping Truths

I did this piece a few months ago. It was originally intended to be in the Apple Cider Tea Party exhibition but I decided not to include it. Even though I wanted to represent something positive it turned out looking far too morbid.  Driven by subconscious processes, no doubt. It didn’t fit with the overall feel I wanted to give the exhibition. Consider it a one-piece prelude to ACTP.
