New Deities was a show curated by Catherine Wolfhagen of Davenport Regional Gallery in Tasmania. It featured works but Emily Hunt & Raquel Welch, Jonathan Nichols, Grant Stevens, Monika Tichacek, John Vella, Tiffany Winterbottom and Paul Wrigley. The show traveled around Australia and was shown at Mosman Art Gallery, Grafton Regional Gallery, Gosford Regional Gallery and who knows where else.
For the opening in Davenport, we were kindly given an all-expenses paid trip to Tasmania in exchange for us giving a talk to a group of high schoolers (don't ask me why). This was seriously one of the most uncomfortable experiences of my life, not that I did much talking - it was mostly Emily, thank god. Anyway we show up with like this slide show presentation of DUKE, wearing matching sequined cardigans and talk about our dress-ups, the collection and our art stuff and these little bastards really didn't give a shit at all. All we got was blank faces and lots of eye rolls. The only time I remember them perking up was when we called Elton John a "gaylord". Ha ha. I think at the time, we thought the whole talk was such a ridiculous waste of time, but we must've had some effect on them, cause we got a few emails afterwards saying how much they loved DUKE (we gave them free copies to take home)... so there you go. Kids aren't so bad. Ha!

This is a shot of the full artwork, which in real-life measures 2m long. That's the size of a door.

This is a piece I contributed to the Gaffa Gallery re-opening exhibition, Where To...?.
Why is it so tiny?
Emily Hunt and I organized this fundraiser in aid of our yet-to-be-launched magazine, DUKE.
We put a call out to our artist friends to collaborate artworks to be exhibited auctioned off. Artists who contributed included Soda_jerk, Matthew Hopkins, Mary Macdougall, Anna Kristensen, Lara Thoms, Mark Drew, Katrina Schwarz and many more.The theme was "celebrity". This was my contribution; a beautiful wedding portrait of Peter Andre and Jordan.
Hoochie Choochie was another collaborative show I did with Emily Hunt at Black & Blue Gallery. Unfortunately I was an lazy idiot and forgot to photograph my work properly. Here are some rough snaps of two of them. I'll try and find the rest of them... who knows where they've gone.

This was an installation that Emily Hunt and I put together for Quarterbread's Haunted House show for Halloween 2007. Bon Appetit!
It's a Nuthouse! was my first solo show at Chalk Horse Gallery. I made 8 portraits all up. My favourite was Pee Wee Herman (I never should have sold that one!), but I got to keep Charles Manson and George Burns. How could anyone pass on these?
