52 On Vulture

Recently I have been creating a mural on Vulture Street, West End. The folks at Cowlishaw & Son have entrusted me to funk up the fashion warehouse walls of the third generation business. Their hospitality, an open approach to design, along with so many fabulous comments from pedestrians have all contributed to a very enjoyable experience. 

Birthday Bash

Any excuse to sneak in a quik piece is a good one! Kosie and I celebrated an early morning riverside piece at Murwillumbah.

Its All a Blur

I recently contributed to a group mural “25 years of Mural Art in Kentish – A Success Story” . Involving more than Twenty artists, the indoor 3D mural is on display in Sheffield, Tasmania and has been created to commemorate Twenty-five years of murals in the town. Each artist was asked to create a miniature based on what the murals represent to them. My piece is based on my experience winning last years Mural Fest. Titled “It’s All a Blur” I aimed to depict a scene of Mural Park in Sheffield skewing the focus to indicate an almost kaliodscopic view. Drawing on memories of the event it really was a blur of great people, delicious food, amazing artwork, comradery and a totally unexpected success. I hope to update with the whole mural soon.

Memorial Garden

A memorial graden was created at Coolwynpin State School for a student who sadly passed away this year. A colourful tribute was created to compliment the garden with some of the student’s favourite things in mind.

Sketches

The black book is where it all begins, putting pencil to paper and lately I have been chewing through pencils and paper.  Sometimes murals are meticulously planned and other times a rough sketch is an adequate starting point for ideas to elvolve from. I have just uploaded a stack of new sketches comprising some of the design concepts from recent murals. Here’s a taste…
