Some background on the piece.

Cyanide poisoning and explosives are used to catch coral reef saltwater fish and live coral for the hobbyist, marine pet trade across many parts of the world. Leaving reef wastelands and causing destruction to the natural habitat of the coral reef. Most, if not all, saltwater fish sold in aquariums are live caught from the wild. Live rock, created by centuries of coral polyps, is also chipped from reefs in the wild.

10% of sales of this limited edition A3 print “SHRIMP” 1/15 will be donated to the Great Barrier Reef Foundation.http://www.barrierreef.org/

GOLDEN PLAINS MUSIC FESTIVAL 2010 2009 DETAIL

After last weeks AGIdeas presentation I thought I would post a few slides from it here showing some close ups of the details. It seemed to resonate well with everyone and the slides of the GP4 art gave the 3000 strong crowd a nice yellow glow in Hamer Hall. I'm really proud to be the artist of Golden Plains each year since it began 4 years ago, it's sort of my baby and pet project, and like I mentioned in my talk, the only Australian client I work for on a regular basis. Great to see the cloud logo is still kicking in each years scenes. Lastly, I finally got my mitts on two extra special stubby holders from this years festival which makes myself and my 'Australiana archive' a very happy chappy.

ACADEMY FOR MEN Issue 4 Out Now

Academy for Men issue 4 is out today featuring a shoot / feature we did last year on a cold wintery arvo. I drove the gang in the '74 XB Fairmont out to Oak Park in outer suburbs of Melbourne, where rumour had it, hiding down the back streets amongst the cream brick palaces was an old empty Milkbar, said Milkbar was in fact the stomping ground of my partner in the 80s after school and on weekends. Picture a bunch of suburban scallywags hanging their skinny knobbly legs over the edge of the bluestone wall, mixed lollies and Streets Ice Creams in hand, acting up - the perfect location.
Rennie Ellis was our inspiration for the shoot, particularly his study of 'The Gang, Windsor 1976'. I supplied the car, Esky, acid wash skinny jeans and vintage Advance Australia knitted jumper. Rhys supplied the iconic Australian footwear - the moccasin. The look was to be an 80s bogan scallywag.
Also below are a few behind the scenes b/w shots taken by Monique on her old Olympus 35mm and some Polaroids thrown in for an extra 20 cents.
Thanks to Rhys Ripper from Academy for Men and Trevor King for shooting the spread.
Have a Captain Cook at the full issue here in all it's glory - http://academyformen.com/
