a Brisbane icon

The ibis is a misunderstood creature. Originally an elegant wetlands bird, its home is now a mangy palm tree at South Bank; its kitchen is a garbage bin outside Baker's Delight. Despised, reviled, abused.
This little guy is called Whacky. He's sad because he knows the life ahead of him.

It's with great excitement that I announce - I was fortunate enough to jointly win the 2010 Crichton Award for new Australian illustrators. The award dinner was held yesterday at Customs House in Brisbane and I am honored to share this award with Andrew Joyner. It was an absolute privelage to be amoungst the countries best illustrators and children's book authors and also to get a chance to meet with the top publishing houses.
What a great day it was indeed. And I hope this is the start of great things to come :)

finders keepers brisbane

Finders keepers has been and gone, and it was one of the most rewarding things that I have been part of to date. A huge thanks to everyone that popped by to say hi and offer words of encouragement. The most rewarding part was watching the faces roll past and smile while viewing some of my pieces.
The FK team are great! Thank you guys for helping me. And Simon thanks for the tunes and the chats.

My latest print 'elephant' will be released for sale this weekend at the Finders Keepers market. This is a limited run of only 40 signed and numbered Giclée prints. These prints are quite large and measure 400x460mm and will form a key part of my display this weekend.
