Collin

When creating this artwork I decided I wanted to make some thug birds. This is them. My friend has an inside joke where she calls all cockatoo’s ‘Collin’ following a story where she had a baby the same time as some resident cockatoos. Every time I hear the name though I think of a lad. So this title felt fitting.

Corporate 2

$600.00

40 x 1.7cm
x 50cm

This artwork follows one I created in 2019, ‘Corporate’. I really like it, even the version I can colour in in my colouring in books. The artwork also follows on from my other artwork, ‘Trauma’ where the universe just dumps paint on you and you need to grow through it. When I worked in corporate I hated it, I was rapidly wasting my life being a puppet for people I swear are incredibly miserable. Selling my soul… Quite often people who work nine to five tell me about what’s really grinding their gears at the time. Work’s always the focus of their attention and never positive, then you hear about how team mates throw each other ‘under the bus’. It’s a total mess. I originally named the artwork “Corporate Mess” painting a continuation of the previous artwork, just zoomed out, hen decided to name it “2”. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

Anthony Albanese as Hitler

$500.00

40 x 1.7cm
x 50cm

This painting is a reflection of Australian politics in 2024. I decided to complete this artwork during one of my 20 artworks in 20 days challenges so it’s not my best work, however I didn’t enjoy looking at Hitlers portrait and I didn’t like looking at Albanese’s any more. So I’m glad to not have spent too much time on it. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

The Precious Room

$500.00

50 x 1.7cm
x 40cm

I’ve noticed western society lives in a culture where people act like they’re on the edge all the time. The Karen. People going around exaggerating any ordinary situation into the worst possible obscure outcome then using it as an example to virtue signal how great they are to want to avoid this potential danger. It’s odd behaviour and it’s contagious. So I painted these people as if they’re blow up toys, all floating around, bouncing off each other. Out the window though is the real world with a little barbed wire in the way. Which is of coarse a sure instant death and much safer to stay crammed in the room daydreaming about potential fears. I also wanted to paint this idea using blow up toys not only as a fitting metaphor but also a personal challenge to see how I’d go painting these. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

Playing with Artists

$500.00

51 x 1.7cm
x 25cm

Before this artwork I finished a painting named ‘My Bird Shit’s All Over Naomi’s’ It’s a shot at a woman who calls herself and artist and used the guise of virtue signalling to act racist and create problems for me. I used art to vent my frustrations instead of going online and starting some sort of battle with her. This is what I really like about art, it can be used in so many ways and one of them is a tactile response to real life events. Rappers are known for doing his, Eminem, Kanye. I think it’s funny… Crafting an artwork that makes someone reflect on their actions, or better yet, left in a position where the only worthy response is through art. So I created an artwork that I really wanted to put plenty of detail into now that I’d finished my 80 artworks project. I painted a ditch with a maze like arrangement of pathways fenced around to say “Hey, this is my space, stay out”. Inside, if you can find it is a person walking. They didn’t make it across to the other side. I painted exits that don’t really make sense like a large doorway as if it reaches the sky… but this entire space is underground. Stairs that lead to stairs, a hidden door way and so on. The thought behind the artwork is, don’t enter the labyrinth of an artists domain if you can’t respond using your talents. I also think artists should use their skills more often to make criticisms instead of playing into minority themed art to get ahead. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

Never Even Existed

$450.00

45.5 x 3cm
x 30.5cm

Prior to this artwork I accidentally attracted one bee that visited on the daily, that bee then brought it's friend and word spread and now I have a crew that spends their days on my balcony. I've heard around that bees are becoming extinct so I looked into it (wanting to feed them what they should be eating) and learnt that honey bee's aren't facing extinction at all and they're not that great at pollinating. Other bee species are great pollinators, don't make honey and can come in cool colours... I've been saving the wrong species. Here we are trying to spread awareness about bee extinction but when most people hear “bee” they think honey bee, most people don't know other bee species exist, and if we don't believe they even exist then what's the difference to us when they're extinct? That venture lead to this painting, in terms of skill I really struggled since it's so far from my style. The blue Mason Bee fights the Honey Bee for it's place in the world. I decided to paint it's wings as bubbles since this bee is fantasy to most people anyway. This artwork is hand-stretched, hooks will be attached on sale and sold with a certificate of authenticity.
