Posted 12 months ago


Rose’s Tale
Acrylic on Canvas, 50×60cm, July 2007

Rose the cat is a new character in my series of cat themed artworks (view a selection of my cats and buy gift cards from my portfolio). Whilst Jac was kind of fun and whimsical in his own way, sometimes I …

Back Off, I'm an Artist!

Posted about 1 year ago

“Back Off, I’m an Artist!”

This stern warning sent a shiver down the spine of customers who minutes ago had been patiently queuing for the next available teller.

“Careful he’s got a brush!”

Would this be the day that someone suffered for art? Paint splattered everywhere in an artistic massacre of modern art?

“Let me paint a picture for you.”

It was getting serious. It could only…

The recently travelled returns.

Posted about 1 year ago

If you have me in your favorites and wondered where I was (because my ego likes to think you actually care) I’ve been off traveling the Australian country side by car.

It’s been a month long journey but now I’m back. The question is, should I post all 600 plus photos I took onto Red Bubble in the hopes that statistically the more images I post will increase my chances of you buying something…

Reinventing Reinvention.

Posted about 1 year ago

It is said that there is nothing new left for artists to create. The modern artists are simply reinventing that which has gone before. There are no new ideas only ways of looking at old concepts in a new way. This has been going on for some time.

With this in mind, has the art world reached the stage where artists are now reinventing reinvention? Forgetting the origin of the original idea an…

Still not happy with the Journal.

Posted about 1 year ago

Fairly obvious post really. Either I’m just not interesting enough or people generally don’t notice journal entries once the latest post falls off the home page.

Why can’t there be an equal amount of space for featured journal entries as there is for images? Sure the journal entry icon may not be quite as pretty but couldn’t that be substituted with a users profile icon or some other icon th…

Unleashed Winners.

Posted about 1 year ago

Not to take anything away from the many beautiful images that won the Unleashed 2007 image contest (there isn’t a single one there that isn’t top notch work) but… and you knew there would be a ‘but’ right?

Looking over some winners entries it must be an extremely long stretch to link them to the theme ‘Unleashed’. I don’t want to single out any one work, or make any kind of example. Just t…

Did you miss me while I was away?

Posted about 1 year ago

My ego is sure that your life has been just that little bit more exciting, waiting in anticipation of my next journal entry.

Will it be today?

No doubt you’ve sat glued to your computer, clicking the refresh button when curiosity gets the better of you. Maybe I’ve written another entry now? No. How about now?

I wouldn’t be surprised if countless meals have been left uneaten in an effor…

Art Comedy Videos

Posted about 1 year ago

Something else that I do, apart from painting, is create comedy art videos. I don’t think that we as artists laugh nearly enough at ourselves and what we do. You can view some of the best of my videos by [ clicking here ]

Doing the morning rounds.

Posted about 1 year ago

I’ve written more in the last couple of months than any other time in my life because I maintain a number of blogs that I try to keep current with different information. This morning I’m kind of doing the rounds. Visiting all my blogs. Some are quite active whilst others I haven’t posted to in over a year.

The inactive ones I try to maintain because they contain articles that appear in none …

So much more to be extraordinary.

Posted about 1 year ago

I don’t find writing for my Red Bubble journal particularly compelling. It seems to serve little or no purpose except for that brief moment of glory in seeing your latest post listed on the Red Bubble home page.

Which is a frustrating moment. Your carefully crafted essay is bumped off the list by several people who all made mundane, one sentence entries that failed to challenge or even reco…
