This Is Melbourne Exhibition

I've been invited to take part in This Is Melbourne, an exhibition of limited edition prints by Melbourne creative professionals.
The show features all kinds of fantastic artists, including Makatron,  Phibs, Shaun Tan, Andrea Innocent and Emma Leonard.  I'm stoked to be amongst such a talented group.
The opening is next Wednesday night at the Bella Union, 6-8pm.  Everyone's welcome!

I love old stuff.

I managed to sneak a couple of photos at the Wonders of Ancient Mesopotamia exhibition last night.
This fellow here is King Ashurnasirpal II.

Historians tell us he was king of Assyria from 883-859 BC but, according to the man himself, he was also King of the Universe, so I don't know who to believe.  He does have impressive wings.
The exhibition is on at the Melbourne Museum for a few more weeks so, if you love old stuff like I do, go along and have a look.

What's been happening

I know I haven't been blogging or Facebooking much lately however I have been making new work, so that counts, right? I've finished a couple of new paintings for myself, a piece for another print exhibition that will be part of the Melbourne Fringe Festival (I'll tell you all about that next week) and I've just about finished putting the final touches on my Etsy shop, as well as keeping up with my illustration work.  I'm also hoping to have a new painting ready to submit for a show at Off The Kerb gallery, but we'll see how that one goes. 

This is one of the new paintings.  It's kinda how I've felt the past few months but I keep thinking about how much I enjoy reading other people's blogs (the interesting ones, at least) so I will try to show and tell more often. 

Not Even The King Was Allowed In

My Red Bubble shop is open!

You can now buy greeting cards of some of my paintings here at Red Bubble.
This morning I received a lovely email informing me that I have been chosen as one of the feature artists on the Red Bubble homepage

It's Print Show time again...

... and I have a signed print of my latest painting for sale.

I Am Watched Over

The opening is this Friday night at the Northcote Town Hall.  If you're free come on down and join me and the other illustrators for a drink.

You can preview all of the prints online here

Work in progress

Here are some work in progress shots of my current picture book project.
I like to add some animals to a book.

Merry Christmas

Wishing you and yours all the best for a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year xox
