My friend B-Rad A.K.A BEASTMAN publisher of WATIM online local art/illo/design zine [www.watim.com] and artist curated this group show in Melbourne. I had heaps of fun the night before the show at Adrian Knotts house in Torquay painting till the wee hours with the boys.The show worked really well - it was a cool balance of styles. The night ended in Hungry Jacks after we rolled out of the Carlton Club, watching a mini riot between some drunk losers and the staff. I managed to stop the whole thing by throwing a coke at the main antagonist from the mezzanine. Art wizardry and heroism. Snap! Opening pictures [here]. My art from the show [here].

An eclectic bunch gathered together to celebrate the 100th China Heights show. It was fun just standing around a cheese platter and drinking beers with all the artists and residents that make China Heights such a great place.It feels like a home for lots of people I think. I made a few small pieces which you can view [here].

A bunch of local and international artists so many you might be better reading the list on the flyer. All the works were on paper. Everything 500 bux and under. Gallery shots [here]. Rad! The artwork I made is [here].

A NYC style ‘community garden’ mural painted for Capital L's 7th Birthday celebrations by some of the coolest kids in Sydney’s underground art scene: xxzilla, Joe Allen, we buy your kids,Jonathan Zawada, Brett Chan, yours truly, Erin Forsyth, Dave Ladd and J’aime Fazackerley. I love painting walls and climbing ladders and drinking beer and teasing Brett Chan. See images [here].

Brett Chan invited me to work on his Shaka Brah installation in the Oxford Art Factory and he and Jaime made a film of the whole process. Trent Whitehead, Dustin Dollin and Joseph Allen also contributed. You can see the film [here]. It was such a great couple of days. For pictures of the mural go [here].

Yep those crazy kids at Mambo came up with a great concept! An art treasure hunt!
The art was beautifully presented in fibreglass panels with wood edging for the opening at Monster Children Gallery. There were a bunch of great local and international artists involved including Andrew Pommier, Reg Mombassa, Deanne Cheuk and Beci Orpin..... see [here] for photos of the opening. Pictures of my piece are [here].

A show dedicated to the celebration of the dead and death at large.Tonnes of great solutions from a talented bunch. Of particular note Scott Otto Andersons Pikelet and Joe Allen's beautifully presented prints. I made [this].

Inspired by the accessibility and immediacy of street art, en route is an outdoor, multi-venue exhibition that takes local design to the people via posters in public spaces across Sydney. In a showcase of twenty designers at the cusp of making a real impact on the Australian scene, en route features graphic, object, spatial and fashion design. You can see the wallpaper design of mine that was featured [here].

Enfant Terrible is an all girl art show curated by my friend Gini Helie and sponsored by Milk and Honey. Featuring Deanne Cheuk, Bec Howell, Lilly Piri, Techa Noble, Dashenka Prochaka and Annie-Rose Wright Zawada. I exhibited [lampshades] with new prints of mine. You can see a movie of the show [here].

This was my first show of drawings and paintings and it was a very intense but exciting process for me. I booked the show before I really had any idea what I was going to exhibit. Having lit a metaphorical fire under my own ahem ... arse I then set about working on enough work to fill the huge space at China Heights. In the end I had a range of prints, wallpaper, lampshades, drawings and paintings all loosely exploring voodoo, african art, occult symbolism, fluoro, love, innocence, sacred geometry, top hats, snakes, owls and 18th century hairstyles. The opening was lots of fun and thanks to sponsors Pigs Fly beer and Cutaway Wines there was lots of alcohol to warm up the drenched punters who battled the crazy rain hurricane to arrive! Pictures from the opening [here]. To see the artwork go [here].

Claire Frost from the Triple J Arts crew came and visited me at my house to have a chat about art and life as a designer for the Triple J Arts show. You can hear the interview [here].

Another huge All Girl art show Curvy was held this year at Mori Gallery with a tonne of amazing work from girls like Hana Shimada, Fafi, Gini Helie and lots of local and international talent. Fafi flew down under for the show and I also had a great old time with an aerosol can painting the front of the Gallery with Ed Woodley and Numskull. See pictures of us painting the mural [here].
