CHICKENCATFIGHT.
My piece from the installation painting we did for the LAST CHANCE end-of-year party. The whole thing was food & sex themed and generally pretty gross. But so much fun.

There's also a rad piece on Last Chance in the new ACCLAIM magazine...

I did some slightly intimidating live painting down at Ezra Pound with the ridiculous Kid Zoom, Daek and Drewfunk.

Interview in the new issue of WE ARE THE IMAGE MAKERS.
Best Australian arts site, hands down.
This photo is pretty much my favourite thing at the moment:
Feature on LAST CHANCE STUDIO in the new Frankie mag.
We've also had a little bit of tragedy at the studio. Clarence (the cat in the photo) has broken his leg and has to get it removed, so we're holding a raffle to raise funds for the operation. More info on the Last Chance site!
