Complete works, works in progress, and sometimes stuff that's nothing to do with work at all! :)

Being realistic
The drawings I've done in the 301 project so far each took between two and four hours to do, and realistically I can't keep that pace up for 301 straight days, so I've decided to expand the definition of the project to be to do 301 drawings or…
Announcing: The 301 Project!
My pocket diary tells me there are 301 days left in this year, and I've decided to commit myself to the challenge of producing one drawing (either a nude or a portrait) on every one of those days.
The reason is simple; the more I draw, the better…
It figures
I think my body has more or less adjusted back to "normal time" after Monday's early start, but the psychological effects keep coming ...
In the past I've painted a number of portraits, which you can see in the gallery here. I've also done a number…
Spencer Tunick "The Base"
It's not often I'm awake at 3am, and if I am, it's usually because I'm still awake. But at 3am yesterday (Monday, March 1st 2010) I was awake, getting ready to take a taxi to the Sydney Opera House to be part of Spencer Tunick's latest…
Turning 42, going digital, and getting my gear off!
I turned 42 earlier this week, and as a devoted Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy fan, I figure that this year I should have the answers to life, the universe and everything - I just have to figure out what the question is :-)
(My wife has pointed…
New inspiration
There's a TV series here called "Artists at work" which shows, well, guess! This week's episode was about fellow Australian David Frazer who does some really amazing woodcut art. I think what amazes me more than anything is the (small) scale he…
February? What?
January did NOT pan out as expected - although I've had some time to experiment with techniques I was interested in, I've gotten no completed paintings done since, erm, the last one.
My plan to complete 100 paintings this year is already in…
A couple of good days!
A couple of days ago I painted the following picture in acrylics;
It was tremendous fun to do, especially the earth, which is somewhat geographically accurate (I always sucked at geography). Credit for this must be shared with the book "Space Art:…
A new watercolour - "Rockpool #1"
Late last year I subscribed to "Artists Network TV", and it's been a goldmine of knowledge and inspiration - money very well spent!
This new painting is based on their "Improve your water painting techniques" workshop by Gordon Mackenzie,…
Experimenting with spray can painting
A friend put me onto this recently - painting with spray cans. Not on walls, or people's fences, I hasten to add!
I found some excellent tutorials and examples all over the web, especially at Youtube and also Brandon McConnell's Space Paintings…
Welcome to the new site!
I've been frustrated with the Mac's web editor - iWeb - for some time, so I have finally made the time to find a new one, and I've chosen Sandvox. Although still straightforward to use, it gives me the extra power and freedom I need to make this…
