So during the last weekend of November I headed down to Torquay to do some live painting at Blunt Surf & Skate to promote the new Afends high summer range. It was the first time I’d ever painted in front of an audience so wasn’t sure exactly how it would go down, but all the peeps at Blunt were super cool plus the locals and people shopping all seemed to get into it. Capped off with a bit of late arvo sun and some beers, it was a great day! Have a look.
Thanks again to all the dudes at Afends and Blunt for making it happen! If you’re in the area you can see the finished piece along with the great window display at the store.
Board at NGV
This post comes a little late, but it’s been a busy end to the year. I was super lucky to be asked by the girls at Just Another Agency to be involved in the Board exhibition, currently happening at NGV Studio in Melbourne. Some great names in the line up, artists were asked to use a blank skateboard as their canvas and the show also features classic decks important in skateboarding’s history and culture. The exhibition runs until early February and there will be a few live painting sessions from several of the artists involved. More info here, well worth checking out.
Some snaps of my submission, happy with how it turned out!
Yarrr! X The Woods
This has come up rather quick, next Tuesday at 108 Chapel St, Windsor the annual Yarrr! Clothing T-shirt exhibition is taking place. I was fortunate enough to have been asked to create a piece of work alongside some great Australian artists. More info here, see you there!
For anyone in the area, the cool dudes at Afends have asked me to do a live painting session at the Blunt Surf and Skate store in Torquay tomorrow. Lot’s of giveaways and fun things going on all day, as the flyer says, come on down! More info here

This month my band Iron Mind has been on tour and to celebrate I decided to turn the poster art I created into a limited edition print. 284mm x 400mm two color screen print on A2 300gsm recycled stock, hand numbered and signed out of 30. Printed by Craig at Midnight Funeral who did a great job. Available now in my store, click up the top to purchase!
Twin Navigation
For those who couldn’t make the show back in August, I finally got some proper shots of the work. All oil on canvas.
Head back a few posts to see some shots of the work on the wall at the opening.
Just Another Wrap Up
Cool little video from the 2nd Just Another Group Show opening, shot by Carl Allison. Great work again this year, my favorites being Michael Steele’s two part oil on canvas, Caitlin Rigby’s take on peace and Pierre Lloga’s slick line work. Shout out to Toby and Melika at Just Another Agency for another great addition to Semi-Permanent week, always fun to be involved. Here’s the piece I created for the show.
