McKenzie’s Beach Dreaming @ Grace Gala
‘McKenzie’s Beach Dreaming’ fetches $1000 at Grace Gala Auction for the Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
This years Grace Gala raised approx $750,000 for the Children’s Hospital. A big thank you from me to Lynn Warren Smith, Claire Galea and Angela Trieste @ Vanilla Bean Events for bringing me on-board for this worthy cause. A big thanks also to the guys at Hope Tree Framing at Wentworth Falls who did such a fantastic job with the framing of the work.

The Impulse to Draw @ Adobe Slate
Having been involved in the beta of Adobe Luca, it was a no brainer that when Adobe released ‘Slate’ on the App Store that I should dive into this with renewed enthusiasm. ‘Slate’ is a significant improvement on the beta and in hindsight I found that my earlier publications needed revisiting and that’s still ahead.
The latest iteration of SLATE brings ‘Glideshow’, a new feature that facilitates image dissolves with text gliding over the top. Kinda nice. Haven’t used it yet but here is something of a recent offering. Life at art school and beyond.

The Ash Burner
Sometime mid 2014 Queensland University Press approached me with a request to use a photograph of mine that designer Sandy Cull had found on my Flickr feed, for the cover of an upcoming publication ‘The Ash Burner’ by Kari Gislason. This was a new gig for me and working through the release process was a healthy learning curve and possibly an exasperating on for the publishers. The reality of having a well respected designer in the person of Sandy Cull and Q.U.P. having the confidence in the image to carry the book to its conclusion and, in a nice way, validated what I do on a day to day basis.
