Important Information

2011-11-27T22:09:00.001-08:00

It's been a while since I posted anything on here - things have been very busy! Most recently I organised the exhibition "Important information", a collaboration with Rohan Newman. We each created 3 giclee prints based around the interplay of usefulness and irrelevance, as well as a 16 page, risograph printed booklet with some extra bits and pieces. Check out my contributions below, plus some snaps from opening night thanks to Ryan Wheatley.

Whiskers

This one was furiously finished just in time to be express posted to Sydney for 'Paper Thin', an exhibition at the new Colour By Numbers gallery in Newtown. Excuse the dodgy photo - didn't even have time to scan it properly!

The Beatles - Why Music Matters

2011-08-16T17:55:00.000-07:00

A little band called THE BEATLES posted this video on their Facebook page today - featuring my illustrations along with work from the talented Rick Mereki , Giles Dill, and Darren Turner. All lovingly put together by the powerhouse Lee Gingold. It's a trip!

Paul, Ringo and Yoko had to approve every frame of this so needless to say I am pretty stoked.
