Acid-free paper, treated with ink and paint.
The concept of this wallpaper was to have it look like a ‘cave’ appearance in visual design.
My bedroom is my ‘cave’ to just be in.
LIZARD. 2005
Lizard. 2005.
I painted this watercolour to rest on my piano so that I could get a sense of peace and calm,
just like the lizard in the drawing, going about his work.
YOU KILL THE ONES THAT CARRY YOU.
You Kill The Ones That Carry You. 2005. Watercolour on paper.
This is about people who pay for a service, only to be ripped off and treated
badly by the ones that are supposed to look after them.
THE ANGLE OF THE ANGEL.2005
The Angle Of The Angel. Ink and Watercolour. 2005.
Have you ever been through a rough trot? Life can bring these on,
even though you try to avoid them as much as possible.
To get to understand the situation, we must find a way to be objective
and create the ability to handle the situation,
even if it means that we must end the situation we are in, permanently.
WUSSS BLUFF COY.
Ink on acid free glossy paper. 2005
What sort of experiences have you had at a large corporate company? Mine was with the Wusss Bluff Company.
Thats was in 2005. Draw about it. Best not to talk about it…. (mmm?!)
GENIE AND THE LADY
Ink on acid-free paper. 2005
In 2005, I had to go and get abdominal exploratory tests.
Frankly, I was a bit upset by the whole process, and the inconvenience of recuperation.
So, I drew this drawing showing the fears one can have in regards into the unknown:
Cocoons being found inside your body, and animals and nursery rhyme characters
all turning into mischievous taunting nightmare things!
It’s enough to make you do a drawing about it!
100’s
1.ink on acid-free card. 2. ink on canvas
I was finishing up Bach Fine Arts in 2004, when I drew this picture about lack of money,
and it seemingly just going down the drain.
The candle represents energy running out, it’s late, and the cup of tea now tastes like sand. So much study! Lol.
In 2013 I had this image, amongst others, printed onto a very large canvases approximately 710cms x 1 metre.
These small black and white drawings look stunning as large canvas prints.

AND THEY ALL CHARGED IN LIKE MALEE BULLS: BLOCKMOUNT SCREEN PRINT SERIES.
Block Mount Screen Print. 2004
This is one of a series of six. The others are: ‘Glomessh Monster’; ‘Dolly’;
‘Fag ‘N Wine’; ‘The Four Oddballs’; and ‘ Cardigan Coat’. This screenprint
is about the tests that uni teachers always play on their students to get them confused and to think harder.
Two particular teachers suggested me to do different instructions:
One was to make sure there was order and no ring ins for the exhibitions
and that all of the works had to be connected in some way to each other. The other teacher told me to not worry about anything and to
do anything I liked. I listened to my gut, and put everything into a connection.
I drew this picture as it was about the instructions, and it connected other sculptures I wanted to put into the exhibition.
Now all was connected. The ‘charging in like malee bulls’ was about other teachers
all having their say about what I should be doing.

create organic shapes when linked together.
