A Kid Could Do That

A Kid Could Do that is how I'm approaching the latest body of work I'm doing. I've been designing concepts for the director of a theatre production to open in Newtown's New Theatre in early August. While I haven't necessarily even got the job I've been asked to submit concept sketches for a body of work to be used as visuals projected throughout the production. The catch is they have to look like they were done by a 9 year old. This challenge is pretty far from the look I ordinarily like to go for so somehow I was really seduced by it.

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Wow I know it's terrible blog etiquette to disappear and then resurface with a shallow apology so I'm going to leave it out of this post.

I have been BUSY

Ok so here is a wrap up of what I'm about! I have a ton of new iPhone (finger) paintings and a few collages to give you but first I'm going to plug my very new gallery WATCH THIS SPACE!

WATCH THIS SPACE ends up everywhere. We don't expect the audience to come to us so we take the gallery to the audience. Above is an example of Luke Tipene (a WATCH THIS SPACE Director) taking our show to the sunny coasts of Antarctica.

WATCH THIS SPACE is looking for artists. We have ongoing opportunities for exhibition and it costs nothing to put n a show with us so please, if you are any good at what you do - contact us.

Study of a Ricky Maynard Portrait, 2009. Digital finger painting

Ricky Maynard has an amazing exhibition of photographs at the MCA. This image is a facial study of one of the Aboriginal elders in his portrait series. I suggest everyone get there to check it out if they can because it's more inspiring than any australian history book or teacher.

Trains (Study), 2009. Digital finger painting

Train, 2009 Digital finger painting

En route to work, 2009. Digital finger painting

Trains are very appealing subjects to me as their infrastructure challenges traditional perspective in drawing. Everything is curved and there are no vanishing points.

MUNGO, 2009. iPhone with Paintbook LE

I remember when I got my hand-me-down NOKIA 5110 at age 15. Now I'm making things with my phone. I have begun using a free program for sketching which means I can sketch with colour on the go! I'm still trying to get my technique down and these studies are to aid my visual practice but I'm always proud enough to show them!

Possibly A Mobile Blog?

Right now I'm searching for a new iPhone application which can I can use to post text and photo to this here blog. I was using an app called Shozu but it leaves an ugly logo at the base of the post. The journey is one of discovery. I'm finding new blogger widgets as well as new iPhone apps all the time. You may notice now that you can follow my twitter updates live on the top right corner of the blog.
