Dude!

Just saw this new painting by Dave MacDowell. Already sold, but maybe he'll do a print run!

Awesome.

Some (unfinished) stuff......

Hey folks, here are 2 paintings I've done, but not finshed yet. Will get them completed at some point!

My first attempt painting on wood. Not framed, just done on an old tray!



Spent ages doing this. Kept changing my mind about the colours!


Jeremy Geddes, we salute you

Last night UK time, a print by Jeremy Geddes went on sale and was sold out in seconds. The image is titled "A Perfect Vacuum."

In 2005 Neil and I were lucky enough to have seen an exhibition by Jeremy Geddes in Outre gallery. It was the first time we had seen his work and we were just blown away by how amazing his paintings were. 

There is an article about Jeremy Geddes in Hi Fructose magazine Volume 15. Being from Melbourne myself but now living so far away from the city I love, his familiar streetscapes leave me yearning for more.

If you haven't yet seen his work, be prepared to enter a completely realistic, otherworldly life. You'll see what I mean! http://www.jeremygeddesart.com/

SKULLS!!!

Saw drunk guys in the street trying to skate on a skateboard with no wheels. I managed to salvage the board, chop it up and paint this.  



Another strange find, the metal on this piece is from an old door lock. I put some canvas board inside and painted this tiny skull. The whole piece is only 1"x2.5"


.....No I don't have a fixation with skulls. Neil

Space walkways

These are both photographs that we took of ceiling's in 2 different shopping centre's. We doubled them up and flipped them to create these crazy images. They look like something from some kind of spaceship!

Tiny U.F.O paintings

We had a couple of little 2" square canvases, started painting without a plan one Sunday and this was the result....U.F.O madness!
Neil's AREA 51 inspired tiny U.F.O.

Anyone been watching this?

Has anyone else been watching Show Me The Monet on BBC1?

It's actually quite a good show, the artists pieces are judged on emotional content, technique and originality. The judges don't just put through something because it's "contempoary" or "modern", a lot of the stuff I wouldn't necessarily hang on my own wall, but I can see the merit it in.

Although, on tonight's episode there was a former GP who had submitted her work.......it was only the 5th painting she'd done !!! I wish I could paint half as well! Well worth a look, so I've put the link below.
