Clients who hire me are increasingly auctioning my artwork towards their favourite charity. It’s a win-win situation. Some speed painting auction results from last week: Townsville Entertainment Centre (Cowboys/Broncos gala dinner) raised just under $8k A speed painting of a spine on Saturday night at Tempus 2 winery (Hunter Valley, NSW) raised just under $4k ...
Last weekend I was in Adelaide for a big footy club gala dinner and I painted mainly sporting icons. Here is one of the speed paintings of the legendary Don Bradman from the show. I’m pretty happy with how this one came out – speed painted in about 5 minutes.
On Friday night, I performed at a ‘roast’ for Dr Shepherd, former AMA President. It was a glitsy night with a celebrity mix of social commentators, politicians and doctors. My spot on stage followed an introduction from John Mangos (popular TV newsman), Allan Jones (social commentator and talkback host), Dr Brendan Nelson (former Federal Opposition ...
Next week I am travelling up to QLD, headlining the Gympie Show. Here is some text from their website: Each and every year the members and employees of the Gympie District Show Society strive to put on one of the largest regional Shows in Queensland. From all over Australia people come to exhibit and experience ...
Did 2 shows over the weekend and both went absolutely awesome. Some shows just seem to ‘click’ right into place and this was the weekend.. The first show was up at Hamilton Island and it was a ripper. The second was at a 200 people wedding here in Sydney, where along with my normal show ...
for the weekend… This weekend I’m off to Hamilton Island to perform for a Dunlop dealer conference. Now I’ve just received a photograph of the V8 car they want speed painted during the conference. WHAT A CO-INCIDENCE!! The picture they provided is of Steven ‘Richo’ Richards No. 6 Ford Falcon (sponsored by Orrcon). Last year ...
Just returned from the USA where I performed at The American Academy of Dermatolgy 67th Annual Conference in San Francisco. During the 3 day conference I performed 12 shows as I went through my speed painting reportoire inside a specially built “Art of Treatment” theatre inside of the Astellas stand. They have super fast acting ...
If you have ever seen one of my shows you will realise it’s NOT just about the speed paintings. In fact, during my show there is nothing more I enjoy doing than interacting with the audience – whether I have them dancing, singing, answering questions or putting them in other unusual situations. It’s all off ...
Yes.. I know.. I have sort of forgotten about this blog…… In the last month I’ve performed in Gold Coast (four times), Adelaide and Melbourne as well as heaps in Sydney. I’m racking up the frequent flyers – Virgin Blue now know me on a first name basis. It’s been great – I’ve performed my ...
Just back from my show in Singapore. I brought to ‘life on canvas’ the F1 Williams car and lead driver Nico Rosberg. My original idea was to have fire streaming out of where I painted the exhaust on the car timed with the sounds of the engine starting, but the Singapore National Museum didn’t like ...
