Great Moments from 2010


I tasted Caramel Popcorn and it made me think of LollyGobbleBlissBombs

Watching Dead Cat Bounce do "The Kick" and almost chase a bare arsed midget.

I bought my own fork for the office.

Looking up the delightful nose of Geoffrey Rush whilst sitting in the front row of The Drowsy Chaperone.

I was a Running Man Bird Plane with dodgy cardboard wings and a vest.

Buying the Rutles DVD for $6

Finding a ceramic snack holder in the shape of a hessian bag and the term "Nut sack" carved into it.

Listening to Casey Bennetto sing the lesser known Bee Gees songs at the SB BBQ

I got my ducted heating serviced.

Auditioned for a suspect sportsbet ad by Brian Mannix in leather pants

Jason Geary & I sat in a seedy Merimbula motel & watched the exploitation animation "The Haunted World of Super El Beasto"

Slipping "We love pussy" (in context) into a 'Bed of Roses' ADR (dubbing) session at the ABC and giggling.

Finding the Big Book of Erotic Comics Vol 2 at a Savers in Footscray (and the ensuing weird look at the check out)

Stumbling across brain matter on the beach at Queenscliff with the kids. Poking it with a stick.

Running into Jase and Angus Sampson (who kept running) and all my Sydney friends at World's Funniest Picnic

Watching the old school Theatresports players bust out their schtick to a packed crowd at Theatreworks.

Finally realising I had the oven tray in the wrong way around and righting it.

Taking an break on set, dressed as a policeman. Spontaneously crimping for the passengers in a passing train

Asking Amanda to come and live in Melbourne - oh how she resisted... until I left a trail of lollipops to my door.


Fingers crossed 2011 will be filled with moments of epicness such as these :)

Christmas Eve Eve - The Longest Day

To help pass the time we celebrate in our own special way:

December 23rd (courtesy from my twitter feed)

Today is the day we traditionally lay a wreath of sausages on the neighbour's doorstep, sprinkle each other with 100s & 1000s and dance.

Then when the moon is high and our heads are wrapped with LED lights, we clasp hands and sing "Too Darn Hot" with throaty gusto.

Tucking the little ones into bed & sipping from the communal wine-skull, we tell them the age old tale of "Druid Godwin & the pesky Virgin".


And to round out the Dec 23rd festivities we sacrifice a flannel, cleanse our feet with fire and eat chocolate covered marshmallow Santas.

Happy penultimate, penultimate day folks!

Thank you 2010! You've been Grand.

A fresh face on the blog and some new words to tide you all over until the sporadic posting of the new year :)

There are so many wonderful things that have happened recently that I can safely say that 2010 is a turning point in an otherwise weird couple of years. Acting jobs went down but Design work went up which is still keeping me up and at 'em.

Here's some things that I've been enjoying recently:
The spring rain reminding me the gutters need cleaning, watching the twitter feed the night Hawke screened on Channel 10, improvising intestate with the folks from Full Body Contact No Love Tennis - as well as the regular folk at Impro Melbourne (speaking of which - last show for the year is Impro Unwrapped Sunday 7.30 Sunday 12th December at The Space), watching Gentlemen Broncos with Amanda and laughing at Sam Rockwell over and over again, sitting down and painting with my kids and the reading, reading, reading.

Life is good and Christmas is in the air.

Here's some recent design work for various projects:


Impro Australia's Annual Cranston Cup Theatresports season.


Mock up for Ross Daniels' new show "X"


Artwork for Impro Unwrapped - a charity improv show that is happening all over Australia to help raise money and goods for the St Vincent's Christmas Appeal

And as a Christmas treat - some recent Movember pics:


Snidley Whiplash looks on and taunts me like a Bounder should.

Until the next exciting adventure!
Cheers

P.s. My son is now on Blogger with his own art site "Ink & Co" - check it out :)

New Work!

So it's August already and I've been designing, acting and procrastinating my arse off.

Here's some commercial artwork I've been mocking up:


and some personal:
