NEW WORK: Merry Christmas to the Matchbox Project!!!

Smoke, 2008. Ink and impasto acrylic on acetate.

The Matchbox Project is one of Sydney's most awesome ongoing artworks at the moment, and as I have recently been climbing the ranks of the art patron I decided to marry my two loves - patronage and painting - to give my own small present for a stranger. Light this for your pipe and smoke it!

REALPERSPECTIVE a biased review

Bring your pets to REALPERSPECTIVE. The Badly Keyed Horse by SAM BRYANT

REALPERSPECTIVE went off without a hitch. The day after a near death catastrophe heralded the works of twelve great artists and a debut show from the MPC artist ANTLERS. Everyone got lucky thanks to the love potion in the beer by the Happy Goblin Brewery, a fine brew who's varied malts makes it accessible to even the ladies of the party.


Those who were lucky found small presents for strangers by the Matchbox Project's Sonya Gee. If your lucky you might notice one hiding at TAP Gallery until Sunday the 21st of December, 278 Palmer St Darlinghurst.


REALPERSPECTIVE is my latest curation.

ICON CREATIVE SUMMIT 2008

After having arrived in Brisbane for less than an hour I was approached to sing Radiohead's creep in the centre Mall in Brisbane CBD. That was among the leisures I was to indulge. However this trip was purely business.

ICON Creative summit housed seven paintings from the 25th -30th November. I went to Brisbane to check it out and came away thinking that the Brisbane Powerhouse is one kick ass venue. Some of the works featured were great. Paintings from heart-throb Nick Plowman were among the highlights.

Mostly I enjoyed spying on people wearing my red and green 3d Glasses not realising what the accessories purposed until they saw the 3d effect of my paintings. This show featured Sculpture and The Hustler. I got great feedback from people, amazing ocean trout Bruschetta and kicking my girlfriends ass in Virtua Fighter, chicken, and TRON meant a holiday well spent.
