It’s been a long time! And another trip over the oceans, back home to Australia.
Other than generally getting my life together, I am working towards a solo exhibition “The Pheasant and the Fool” which will be shown at the Canberra Contemporary Art Space in November this year. Stay tuned.

I’m working on a mural and have just finished a commissioned illustration for a client in England.
I’ve also heard news of the exhibition that will feature my card design (as part of a quilt by Amelia’s Magazine). The exhibition will open on the 24th of September at the Haunch of Venison Gallery in Burlington Gardens, London. It is a fundraising exhibition for ‘Shelter’ a charity for the homeless. It looks like it’ll be a great show and will feature work from Damien Hirst and Vivienne Westwood… if you’re in London, it would totally be worth a peek.
