25.01.2022 There was always a huge pile of cans at the top of Windsor canyon. It had been there for as long as I could remember. Many brands of paint that were no longer available, Spanish montanas, krylons etc. Each time I went back to the canyon to photograph my latest piece or the new work of another writer I would look at the cans and imagine which one was used by msa, which by tgc. Some were punctured with a screw driver to stop people using the scraps to bomb backgrounds or slash ...the piece. About 7 years ago I went back to the spot the can pile was but it was gone. In it's place stood a mound of grass.....so I got a shovel. I dug up the mound and recovered 2 garbage bags of rusty tins. I took them to my studio. I gave some to @camscale and both of us (he much better than I) painted images on the cans and exhibited them in our own shows. As you can see I littered the floor of my show with track rocks, barbed wire, cctv cameras and other track side paraphernalia one may have acquired over the years. #melbournegraffiti

12.01.2022 Graffiti creature. The lettering was experimented on for too long, some time ago it became self aware. It now no longer wishes to stay constrained to its prescribed kicks and bends. Like a tentacle it gropes for more, bringing its arrows and do-dads along for the ride.

07.01.2022 Some of the works I hung at my show at Chin Chin. My ex girlfriend was a photographer. The studio she worked at had a hasselblad camera, which is a massive camera with a massive price tag that capture the most minute details. I often think the most impressive part of the painting process is the patterns the paint creates in itself when you open a tin of buff and start stirring. I decided to do a series of ultra close up high def images of paints, oils, water and soaps reacting with each other. I was happy with how some of them looked but the ego wasn't as the marks could have been made by anyone and did not denote personal style. The one in the bottom right is a graffiti surrealism painting I did after seeing the James Gleeson exhibition at the NGV.
