23.01.2022 We are publishing a puzzle! I know! Crazy hey?! Josh dreamt up a scheme during lockdown to try and help fund CAW in this new era where arts funding will be su...per competitive and less reliable for organisations. So he spoke to some of the CAW alumni to see what art might work well and Pat Grant pulled out this work. We are Kickstarting it all of October in the hope that we can cover the costs of producing this crazy endeavour. If we do that, all profits thereafter (100%) will go directly to CAW to help them run their residency program in 2021.
23.01.2022 Wondering where this will take me. ___ #thequoll
20.01.2022 Just taking a momentary break from promoting the puzzle Kickstarter campaign that I'm driving to mention that I have an exhibition coming up at the Moonah Arts ...Centre of work from my graphic novel work-in-progress Swallows Part Two. It is open Oct 16 -> Nov 7 Exhibition will be launched by Julia Drouhin in the evening of Thursday Oct 15. You can book online at the MAC website if you wanna come along, it's free but you just gotta register cos of Covid numbers limitations and all that jazz. Oh and by the way - go to the Kickstarter page RIGHT NOW at https://www.kickstarter.com//the-comic-art-workshop-puzzle/
19.01.2022 You’re completely wrong Watercolour on Fab paper 56x76cm $950 From The Quoll.
19.01.2022 The war was brief. The Telopian pods brutally wiped out what little remained of Venus’s plant life. Ransom watched on with astonishment as the seemingly invincible Sr’ing-ah capitulated to the invading force.
18.01.2022 The sarong had a lovely blue colour. Hey, I’m gunna have an exhibition of art from my work in progress Swallows Part Two at the @moonahartscentre from Thursday the 15th October and that night it will be an opened by @julia_drouhin. They will announce registration for the (free) event. Swallows is a graphic novel about travelling to the islands where Dad’s family were from in Italy, and trying to figure out what part of me is from there, if any part. Swallows is also about how migration is part of the history of all humankind. If you want to see art from the swallows series then look at this hashtag #swallowscomic

17.01.2022 The cliffs are just not the best way down. 76x56cm watercolour on Fabriano papier. $950 From The Quoll series of paintings, which turned out real nice. Xo
17.01.2022 Swallows Part Two @moonahartscentre Oct 15 - book at their website for opening night where we will hear @julia_drouhin wax lyrical about whatever the hell pops into her head to honour the 200 artworks on the walls that I slaved over for bloody ages.
17.01.2022 I attended the Comic Art Workshop in 2015, 2016 and 2019 and have now found myself as a director alongside the wonderful Eleri Harris as we plan for the 2021 workshop. This organisation has been transformational for me and my arts practice, giving me a network of peers who're also grappling with long-form comics, graphic novels and other ambitious comics. Arts funding is going to enter an age where things are mega competitive so I dreamed up this puzzle idea (whilst in Lockdown) to help us fundraise our next workshop. Have a look and grab one of these amazing puzzles!

09.01.2022 Island #160 is out, here is a vid of the illustration I did accompanying an article by Luke Johnson about an effigy of David Littleproud, our most highly esteemed minister for water, being piffed into the mighty Murray River by a mob of silly billy unreasonable farmers.

07.01.2022 Got a rock gig coming up with Bing/Santospirito psyched to be playing with The Huskees and Warning Will Robinson. Incidentally - Warning Will Robinson have agreed to come and play at the Moon Shed at our Massive Moon Merch Market on Saturday the 12th of December where you can pick up some sweet Xmas pressies.
07.01.2022 Reminiscing about the last time I performed at @Monafoma when I was on stage with Craig San Roque at The Odeon performing a live version of the graphic novel ‘The Long Weekend in Alice Springs’. Craig’s cap isn’t a MAGA hat, he was trying to make a vague reference Wim Wenders ‘Paris Texas’. In two weeks I’ll be performing again at St David’s cathedral with Bing/Santospirito with paintings from The Quoll. Pretty stoked to be part of this weird and wonderful festival once again. #thequoll #thelongweekendinalicesprings #monafoma

05.01.2022 The Wallaby and the Quoll remained on the platform for some time before either of them spoke. Watercolour 56x76cm $950 Probably my favourite from the Quoll series thus far, doesn’t translate well to a small Instagram phone screen. Better in the flesh. #wallaby #quoll #thequoll #painter #paintlife #tasmania #mountains
