BALD ARCHYS HITS SYDNEY

The Bald Archy hit Sydney last Friday & will be shown at the Italian Forum in Leichhardt until August 24. GO SEE! So much fun in one room. Here are some pics from the opening.

STUDIO 10 BALD ARCHYS

I was fortunate enough to be invited onto Channel Ten's 'STUDIO 10' program to draw one of the panel. I drew the lovely Natarsha Belling, little did Ita, Jess & Joe know I had already painted caricatures of them. I had so much fun, you could not meet a nicer team of people.

IAN THORPE INTO THE LIGHT

I started painting Ian Thorpe months ago after I heard about his battle with depression. Like most Australians, I love Thorpie & was saddened to hear this. The background was originally blue tones & I kind of put in on the back burner, until now .... Ian Thorpe came out on Sunday night, I hope he finds the happiness he deserves now he can publically live his truth & finally get the media off his back about his sexuality. The rainbow after the rain.

BOB DYLAN PORTRAIT

My painting of Bob Dylan. This is what my hair looked like in the 80s HA!

NICK CAVE PORTRAIT

Inspired by one of my friends, I wanted to do a looser style of painting. This is my natural style, how I used to paint years ago. I had a lot of fun painting this potrait.

SKYE PENCIL DRAWING

I did a pencil sketch of Skye as a sugar skull. I haven't done a pencil drawing for years & I enjoyed it so much. I love digital work for many reasons, but there's nothing like pencil on paper.

PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN CARICATURE

I think i like the black background better.
