Blood Dumpster Issue #1 - Thicker Than Blood

I was lucky enough to be featured in Blood Dumpsters Thicker Than Blood Issue #1, this zine debuted at the MoCCA Fest in NYC.
Big thanks to Nate Bear and the team at Blood Dumpster, the zine looks great and is a really nice collective of work, and cool design job by Laura Galbraith.

Sri Chinmoy & David Lynch

You gotta admire the ethics and morals these two dudes stand by. I did some workshops in St Kilda a couple of years ago organised by the Sri Chinmoy Organisation: http://www.srichinmoy.org/
They were free meditation classes held by practising members of the org. It was really wonderful and I recommend to everybody out there to give yourself a chance to experience who you truly are through practices such as meditation.

For those of you interested David Lynch also has grand ideas on conscious based education for children, among other things, it is a shame that his ideals are not envisioned by our own education system. Check it out: http://www.davidlynchfoundation.org/

Easter Bunny

I have this overwhelming fascination with rabbits, they are just so irresistable! So when I came across this it was like how crazy!!! Just in time for Easter, and yes it is made from rabbit pooh...

The Fantastical Flowering Tail of Notomys Fuscus

Another painting finished in oil, again this is 30cm x 30cm. Looks fluffy! Again forgive my images, I have a crap Pentax camera and the lighting in the studio is far from good as I mainly work late into the night so all my pics are very average. But it does look fluffy!!

More Studio Sketches

Blackbook - ADi

 A few quick sketches from one of my blackbooks.

The Fantastical Flowering Tail of Notomys Fuscus

A little section of a new piece I am working on, it is a rare "Dusky Hopping Mouse" found in central Australia. You will have to excuse the quality of the pic, I took it late last night in the studio on a crappy iPhone!

Fat Man Lamps

Found these very cool lighting systems today, just had to post them: http://www.katzhq.com this site has some great stuff, like batman mirrors, classy parisian apartments...

Wallpaper Design

A nice wallpaper to welcome the coming age of robots, all kids bedrooms should be fitted with wallpaper such as this to allow swift acceptance of the new race of metallic shiny beings that will do everything you could ever wish for in this material realm, all those things you could do yourself but are simply too lazy too...

NAGA

A portrait of NAGA, a striking individual that I met on recent travels, I was so taken by this beings mesmerising looks that I managed to convince him/her (these beings are neither male or female) to sit for this portrait.

I have organised the same with a Gray, this will commence shortly so prepare yourself for a lovely little character to appear on this blog shiny and bright with gigantic eyes.

Drew Funk - Black Linings - No Vacancy Gallery

Black Linings - Drew Funk... This Thursday opening at No Vacancy QV is Drew Funks - Black Linings, this is a not to be missed show, trust me when I say this as I have seen the whole thing come together in the studio. Drew and I went and got this piece from a collector yesterday as it was the first of the series but was sold quite some time ago, the collector was kind enough to loan it for the show as it marks the transition of Drews work. These larger pieces are really quite something to view as they are large, detailed and complex. The piece pictured here is a fish made up of little dragon fish, crazy shit!
