24.01.2022 ArtByDestroy and I had 3 and a half days to jam pack the walls of Karratha's latest and greatest Sporting Tavern with Legends of the field. Thanks for the good times! Tell us who you can spot and help us get Ricciardo in there for a Shoey!... Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins @Tambrey Village Shopping Centre Karratha Bart Parsons

22.01.2022 I painted this Fremantle tribute piece for an Airbnb with the intention that it would act as a bit of a guide for tourists. Characters within the painting represent different aspects of Freo. Towards the East you’ll find buskers and keen shoppers. Central you will find a Sandman that will lead you to the beach as well as Fremantle gems such as my buddy Horatio. Towards the pub you might find someone that looks like Bon as well as a few other keen punters such as my myself, Ange, Sienna our little Joey and our mate Tommy. Who else can you see? Thanks to Cheryl for trusting me!

21.01.2022 Let's see if we can get Daniel Ricciardo in for a Shoey WIP with ArtByDestroy Tambrey Village Shopping Centre Karratha Blanche Bar

21.01.2022 I love digging for old photographs that give a glimpse into how dramatically different life was many generations ago. When painting from historical images, I find that the older, rustier, and more decayed surface the better. This is a painting of William Walker, Painted on the side of a sea container at @WhaleBone Brewing Company who was famous for shoring up the southern and eastern sides of Winchester Cathedral. ... From 1906, Walker labored underwater below the Cathedral for six hours a day at depths up to 6 meters (20 ft). He worked in total darkness, using his bare hands to feel his way through the cloudy, muddy water. He did this for 6 years and his role was crucial in the Cathedral being successfully restored.

14.01.2022 Surprise painting for Luke's 40th from the Corsaire Aviation crew! Big thanks to Peter Le Scelle for the photo!

13.01.2022 Last year for Telethon7 Perth I painted a tribute to all the heroic dogs out there that have touched our lives. The painting was 100% based on your submissions and stories and raised a whopping $20,000 for Telethon. This year I want to celebrate the golden days of childhood, before the digital era, when a bit of mud and imagination is all the kids needed. A tribute to childhoods of the past.... Please send in your photos in the comments below!

10.01.2022 It was an honor to paint the Collie RSL Mural for the recent Collie Art Trail. When researching for the mural, I was struck with the profound impact that the War had on Collie and it’s people. It has been said that Collie sent more of it’s population to War (on a per capita basis) than any other community in Australia. Instead of focusing on the devastating side of War, I wanted to create a tribute for the veterans. An uplifting piece that focuses on comraderie, mateship and ...the loyalty that each soldier had for one another before, during and after the war. I chose the iconic game of Two-Up as the driver behind the first part of the mural. The game of two-up has been played by Australian Soldiers as far back as WW1, whenever there was a lull in the fighting, soldiers would escape the horrors of war with a friendly game of two-up. The game played an important part in mateship. The Mural depicts ‘Collie Boys’ from all wars as well as Coal Miners, crowded around a game of Two-Up. Mining companies in Collie have always fostered great mateship among the miners on and off the work site. During WW1 the Military Mining Corps was formed, to tunnel under enemy trenches. Among the first to enlist were miners from the coalfields of Collie. A total of 21 miners from Collie served in the Mining Corps during WW1, sadly 2 of those soldiers died whilst on active service. Everything depicted in the mural is authentic to each ear, from the World War 2 Ammo Crates to the Vietnam war Cooler boxes and boots. Each portrait was painted from enlistment photos and various press photographs. The mural was painted over 6 nights, so I could dodge the sharp heat and uneven lighting. Every morning when I’d pack up, I’d see family members or relatives of the Veterans painted, visit the mural. Some in tears as it would be the first time they would see their family member a veteran be brought back to life. Thanks to Graeme and Gary from the RSLW for all of your assistance, look forward to catching up again at the RSLWA for a beer and maybe a game of two-up!

07.01.2022 I love discovering new vintage photos of kids back in the day. Funny, unusual photos from the golden old days that show kids being free and how different the world was compared to now. This year I need your help! At Telethon Ill be painting a mural dedicated to the golden childhood memories of the past, just like the watertank that Sienna likes to cruise past. It could be a picture of you, your Parents, your Granparents or someone you know, I love a good photo and a good stor...y that I can paint! The more photos you can send in, the better the artwork and chance that we can raise big funds for the kids! Please share this post so you can help me paint something special on the 25th of October! Feel free to share your photos in the comments section too! Shakey Upload you photos here: https://1.shortstack.com/s6QmhD
