Why I Eyes Ya

The past few days I've been working in tandem with the lovely Tai Snaith ... (we both seem to be holed up in our studios going crazy ... in a good way I think), so in honour of our parallel cat worlds:

There's plenty more where that came from (from both of us!) - stay tuned!

August shows!

So for all you peeps who are simply DEVASTATED (e.g. me) that you can't be in Sydney to see A Touch of Class next week, NEVER FEAR. There are plenty of awesome shows to see in Melbourne ANYWAY.

First and foremost, I am super excited to have work in the Sample space at Platform, which opens next Friday 5 August at 6pm - so get yourself down there if you can, it has some other fantastic artists showing (especially the gorgeous Merryn Lloyd and Renee Cosgrave who are just brilliant, yes I am totally biased) and should be a fun night!

And I can't go without spruiking a Beautiful Volcanoes, a show launching on Wednesday 5 August at the Monash Faculty Gallery. If you can drag your whingy arses south-side for the night, Michael Vale has put together what promises to be a SPECTACULAR-SPECTACULAR show - I think I might be a little bit more excited about this one than Platform. Featuring my beloved Kent Wilson (well I'm allowed to be excited about him, right?), Amelie Scalercio, The Safari Team and the charismatic Mr Vale himself - should be a good'un!

Hope to see you there, we could share a wine (or six).

Woo hoo! Doily number two is done and dusted - and I have to say, I am pleased that this doily has made the final cut (Bahahaha!! Because it IS cut! Another dad joke for your enjoyment.) See below for work in progress shots, where you will see how relevant my bad humour is. He he he!

 I have been saving these boys for the 'perfect' collage work, and finally, after about 

three years of hoarding, I think I've found it. 

I'm feeling much better about this one - makes me think of the olden days when people actually used doilies, and children played outside instead of playing video games - aah, nostalgia! 

Can't wait to see what the other doilies look like!

And a gratuitous paparazzi shot (I have my own photographer you see). Big thanks to Alex and Lou for organising - you should your tittie-tube back tomorrow! The lady at the post office was most amused when she was inspecting the tube, "now where's it going dear? Tough Titties? Hang on what?!" and had herself a good belly laugh.

Now don't forget Sydney-siders - A Touch of Class launch night is 3rd August 2011 at Somedays Gallery, 72B Fitzroy St, Surry Hills, so get amongst it! More info on the facebook page.

Now, back to the drawing board.
