DISCOVERING ART THROUGH EXPLORATION
The weather has been very wet in Sydney of late. When we should be sweating in the shade we are still wearing boots and tucking a cardigan in our bag. So I only managed two Urban Sketches of my neighbourhood, but I'm hoping with the Christmas break coming up to fit in some more. The... Continue Reading →
I've been crazy busy lately, and cannot fit in as much drawing as I'd like. One small project I usually work on around this time of year is my TaikOz Student Concert tshirt and programme design. I like to give it some thought and time, but only had an afternoon to come up with something.... Continue Reading →
Just a couple more additions to my Urban Sketchers Sydney page. One of Marrickville Road and a couple down at Tempe – which is well worth another visit. But why is it that I always ended up going on overcast days? For a more detailed look and read click here.
Finally, found some time to continue on with my hand study. I have added two more to the musical instrument page. If you would like to see them in more details visit this page and scroll down to Singing Bowls Apologies for the crappy imagery.

However, managed to do two urban sketches - unfortunately one month apart. Now that it is winter the days are shorter and we have had the... Continue Reading →
Holy cow! What a month! I completed my first attempt at the online project Every Day in May. It's all to do with encouraging people to draw regularly, and it occurs in May, obviously.

Started a big clean up the other day - it's not spring here, but it felt like the time was right. Anyway, I had to do the hardest thing and say goodbye to my first pair of Doc Martens. I stopped wearing them years ago - the soles were completely shot - holes deeper than... Continue Reading →
The weather has been topsy-turvy over this Easter Long Weekend, but I managed to fit a few in. To see all my sketches in full go to my Urban Sketchers page. Cheers!
Creating music opens wide the doors in terms of how hands can be manipulated to play a multitude of instruments - striking, stroking, plucking, strumming, shutting, dampening, stretching... It is a very skill-orientated domain and what you can see in the hands are the technical demands (and years of practice) an instrument needs in order... Continue Reading →
Spent a Sunday afternoon at the Addison Road Community Centre. The organic markets are on, and after 10am the Bower and Reverse Garbage are open. It's has a great vibe and very encouraging of the arts. To view my Urban Sketches of Marrickville, click here. For more info: The Bower, Reverse Garbage and Marrickville Organic Market I've...
