Exciting news und FanBoy vs. ArtBoy
Happy new year to you, my dwindling stalkers.
2011 will proof to be quite the interesting year for this old hack. My sperm, as a complete surprise to me, was not the lifeless dust of a misspent youth, but an oozing, potent brew of fecundancy. Consequently, late February will see the arrival of a bouncing baby boy of my DNA-ing. That's numero uno exciting news.
Numero two-o exciting news is that I'm back painting (Pro Hart must be shaking in his grave). The good folks at Artboy asked me to whip up some canvasy goodness to grace their walls. "The only requirement for any pieces of work is that it MUST relate to gaming...anything from old school table-top FROGGER through to WORLD OF WARCRAFT." Below is a WIP. A prize for those who guess what games inspired them...
I think they may be inspired by God of War and Guitar Hero... yay, I won the the thing that I won.

New favourite artist found at the V8 Vixens show
My partner and I wandered down to Kustom Lane Gallery in Hawthorn on Sunday. On show were Sara Ray (USA), Leighderhosen (QLD), Isobel Von Finklestein (SA), and local lass Kat Weir.
Beatnik de Milo by Sara Ray
Overall, it is one impressive show - the walls are bulging with lowbrow brilliance, by this fantastic foursome.
For me, the one stand out collection of work was by Leigh Carnachan (aka Leighderhosen). The ex tattoo artist had 18 pieces on show, and we found ourselves constantly going back to them. In fact, we liked them so much, we bought 3!

Miss Talulah, inspired by the showgirls of vintage Burlesque, both past and present.
Ida the Goose. Watercolour & ink. 5/6 Gangs Of New York series. Former burlesque performer, prostitute & member of The Gophers gang in the 1800s, Hells Kitchen, New York.
DEAD RAIBEADS Watercolour and ink. 2 of 6 Gangs of New York series. . ‘DEAD RAIBEADS (Irish for Dead Rabbits)’ was inspired by John Morrissey also known as ‘Old Smoke’, an Irish bare-knuckle boxer and a Dead Rabbits gang member in New York in the 1850s. Later he became a Democratic State Senator and U.S. Congressman.

Latest paintings
Stormslapper is part of a series of acrylics done in a style I’ve audaciously named PopMash - a low-brow mix of icons from popular culture, mashed together to create an unlikey combination. In this case, a stormtropper and a 1950’s pinup queen.
