Blue Yonder • new Tees

I recently doodled some new artwork onto paper and afterwards decided it was time to do some new T-shirts. I haven't done any Tees for a while and these 2 designs I came up with were inspired by some new paintings that I've been working on this October. Ho'okupu surf art gallery in Byron Bay have always been supportive of my art since 2005 when my first book, Blue Yonder, was published. If you live in Australia (or anywhere I suppose) and happen to be in Byron Bay you can get one of my new shirts at Ho'okupu. (Noosa might be gettin some too...Check Solace surf, or back here soon) Each Blue Yonder Tee comes with an original A4 screenprint that I handmade onto watercolour cardpaper. I enjoy screenprinting and I liked the idea of giving away some original art to anyone that was nice enough to buy one of my Tees. Enjoy Blue Yonder Tees while surfing, walking or eating

 

          

I made this nice little timber thing too

new art on the way

Right now my studio walls are full of works in progress of medium to large scale paintings. I have 6 new paintings on the go along with 2 x collections of 9 small works on canvas for the petites trevaux show coming up at Retrospect galleries at the end of November, in Byron Bay and on the Gold Coast. Above is a small section of 'creation'. The surfboard fin isn't part of the art. Will post more as I near completion

Outlaw cowboy

Just recently I did a photoshoot with Dan Hannaford for his new music project with Clay Blythe. We found some cool spots in the hills just behind Byron Bay. I'd had my eye on the train tracks and old bridge for years, just waiting for the right opportunity. Dan briefed me on the shoot and said somethin' like, 'i don't know, kinda outlaw cowboy I suppose'. Aside from playing music Dan likes trenchcoats, catching fish and surfing. Check his site for more
