Street art with me.

dsc00258

So I’m running Street Art workshops for teenagers at Manly Library every Tuesday through June. But as I’m pretty chicken shit, I’m going for the angle of how not to get in trouble by the law. So it’s all temporary and not actually defacing anything.

First one on Tuesday the 7th of June is on how to make tie-up or tags that you tie to street furniture, poles and fences.

So you can buy this hand coloured print and more this Sunday at the Magic, Pixels, Bubbles event this Sunday the 15th of May 2016. The Valve Bar in the Agincourt Hotel from 871 George Street Broadway, Sydney – 5pm.

Here’s some more information from the website.

A geeky variety night spectacular featuring geek music, magic, comedy, indie comic art, zines, board games and a bubble machine! PLUS, a very special CD launch for Meri Amber’s 90s themed album Retro Sherbet. Come in cosplay for a free gift at the door 😉

Featuring geek pop musician Meri Amber, comedian Trish Koutrodimos and magician Liam Power, the show will be MC’d by PatCat, the crazy inventor man who speaks at tech conferences and created the tech blog Dev Diner. On top of which, there’ll also be a gallery of art from some of the best indie comic artists in Sydney and zines from some of the best Sydney zinesters.

Get into some board games, food and drinks whilst being entertained from every wonderfully geeky angle. Be there and be square.

P.S. If you’ve got a favourite board game feel free to bring it along!

Or just show up on the night.

 

I’ve got nothing

BOM 05.jpgSo I’ve got to get a blurb ready for the picture party that’s coming up August 27 and 28, but haven’t even finished a single painting. And I don’t have a title. Maybe book of miracles, but it’s looking more like book of crap at the moment.

But come along anyway as the food is always great. Actually I’m more excited about the food. It’s something you can rely on in these time of trouble.

I was also thinking of calling it Jewels and Fools.

Lipstick on a pig

 

18 come hither med

I’ll be having a picture party in August at the Watch House in Balmain. This painting was from a previous show, so won’t be in the new one. But it represents what you will find there.

You can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig.

Which pretty much sums up my pictures. All smoke and mirrors. But then again she’s a pretty fetching pig.

Lock your doors!!

The souls are wandering the streets tonight.

But it is the souls full of spirits that we should be watching.

New Cat Zine for the kids to make at the Sydney Children’s Festival

I’ll be running a Zine workshop today at the Chidren’s Festival at the Seymour Centre. It’s from about 10am but I’ll be there from 1pm to 4pm. There’s a whole bunch of things happening, including the lawn library and silent disco. So I decided to make a new zine for the kids. The Cat Zine.

I’ll have copies available soon for the rest of you.

Making up some protesters for my new picture party next month at Waterloo Library. Opening on the, say, 19th of September or thereabouts. We’re kind of gatecrashing art and about.
