Heres a mural I painted for a pasta shop. The owner was into authenticity and requested that I paint during the  busy nights of the places opening as a type of entertainment...I almost lost my balance a few times while up above patrons eating...Most of my murals have been for places that provide great food..I love murals  :)
As a first year student at Uni doing fine art Leucian Freud saved my arse..the theme was memory and in uni sentimental pet-paintings don't hold up to the stern critique. I saw the painting in the bottom left of this photo and based this painting on it. Everyone loved it...old Hagar is dead now he was my buddy for 15 years...to paint his face in I had to hold his head up...he spent 12 of his years asleep I reckon.
Im not always dark and morbid but in a way its my love of the beautifull things and there own right to live that has made me so dark.I have always been right into frogs. Somenights my son and I go around rescuing them off the roads...this is one such individual, so he had to model for me to pay me back...
Another theme for Uni was location and I chose an area where I used to camp in the Karri forrest of Donnelley River...two of these are sold...
