This is Melbourne exhibition launch

Tonight the This is Melbourne group exhibition launches! The exhibition is being held at the Trades Hall (Bella Union). The night kicks off at 6pm and runs through till 8pm. I had a sneak peak at some of the other pieces that will be in the exhibition when I submitted my work and they look fantastic! It looks like it is going to be a corker of a show! So if you’re in Melbourne tonight, come on down and enjoy the show! Big thanks again to Caitlin Pesky for organsing this most awesome event!  

Historical Animation

 
I try to submit as often as I can to the loopdeloop animation challenges. This months theme was history, which I thought was a great theme. I managed to create an animation in response to the theme, but was too late in my submission to make the screening at the loop bar. However it did make it on to the loopdeloop website!

Creature Feature

Recently I was involved in a group exhibition titled Creature Feature. As you could guess from the title of the exhibition, the theme of the show was monsters. It was a wonderfully broad theme, that allowed for a wide variety of interpretations by the artists.

The exhibition was organised by two young and talented illustrators by the name of  Amelai Kelso and Kitty Poduska. At the ripe old age of 21, these two artists took it upon themselves to organise an exhibition involving 25 artists! They did a fantastic job and the launch night went off with out a hitch!

The exhibition was held at the No Vacancy Gallery in the QV building. As always it proved to be a great venue.

There was an impressive line up of established and emerging illustrators in the show. These illustrators included: Amz Kelso, Ash Riley, Belinda Suzette, Ben Weatherall, Colm Flynn, Emma Leonard, Daniel Aitkinson, Dev Ravenga, Fabian Hernandez , Jacqueline Gwynne, Jodee Talyah, Josephine Dempsey, Kitty Poduska, Lachlan Millard, Liam Pettet, Lisa Currie, Natalie Hallam, Neil Sanders, Pixie Barnett-Noor, Pod Poduska, Shannon Keane,  Sharnee Taylor, Soft Science, Stephanie Kelso and Taras Semenenko

I opted to create an A1 sized painting in Acrylic for the show (As seen above). The piece is titled Rough- Housing. I took my inspiration from illustrations found in vintage golden childrens books.

It was an incredibly fun topic to paint! So big thanks again to Amelia and Kitty!
