Charles Manson the Rock Star

While listening to a podcast the guest began playing a song which I then shazamed. I was surprised to learn that the artist was Charles Manson, but I do sit in the camp of separating the art from the artist so I decided to paint him as the rock star he never became. This was also my first artwork being documented in the form of a “How to” so each step was documented with incredible detail. I decided to paint an outfit as a mix of ideas from 80’s rock stars, the guitar and tattoo are odes to his cult and the expression is Bruce Springsteens. A guest recently visited and mentioned the expression makes her uncomfortable which is precisely how I wanted it to turn out. To have that Charles Manson crazy face look but also showing that expression Bruce showcases in the example photo. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

This is one of my twenty-one artworks in twenty-one days and I wanted to merge a few previous artworks, ‘Gold Thoughts’, ‘Figure Eight Pool’ and ‘Grabbing Art Supplies’. This is the final result.

I decided to create another digital artwork with a doughnut in it since I haven’t created one in a while. While creating it I decided on a new idea, somewhat inspired by my ‘Raffe Popper’, but different and include the springs I’d just created using Blender. This artwork achieves something I’ve always wanted to show, movement so I really like the outcome.

This is the final digital artwork of my 80 artworks project! So I decided to create a giraffe as a party popper. This idea was sparked by my ‘Doughnut Town’ and in the future I continue these tiny things in digital artworks. This is still my favourite of them.

Giraffe with Coffee

This is an artwork I thought up while creating the previous digital artwork where I’d use a tool in Photoshop to smudge the colours of all the layers and add saturation to create a 60’s style colour mess. Now that I’m using Affinity Photo I needed to recreate this but without the tool but figure out how to make the pixels do that myself. This was successful and that’s the pattern you see behind the zebra stripes. Alongside that I wanted to add a wild mane and coffee pouring in a really straight fashion. The artwork turned out very close to what I imagined, goal accomplished!

Beach Pattern

In 2019 during my freelancing I came across a brand who wanted me to create prints like this for them so they could create fabric and become a tigerlily competitor. The job didn’t go anywhere past the first few designs and I’d already started working on this. It’s made from a photo of the beach. It definitely screams decor but I wanted to have it for sale and now you know the lore behind it.

Where Are You?

I was listening to ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ and wanted to paint a wall of birds that tesselate like bricks. It could just be my location, surely everyone in the world isn’t like this, but I never meet anyone following their dreams, everyones doing what they’re expected to do and I get an earful pretty often on why their job or day sucks. It’s become a novelty. From that thought I painted a wall of birds, and title it “Where are you?” I want people to see the title and answer the question, where are they? I answer it by saying I’m not there. Some people might decide they like one of the birds more than another and decide that’s where they fit in. This artwork is one of my hand-stretched ones, sold with hooks ready to hang and a certificate of authenticity.

During my phase of shooting long exposure shots I decided to take a stroll outside to Pennant Hills Road, Normanhurst and take shots oft he traffic. I then warped the photos into these versions you see here. If you like the style I have a similar artwork of a beach which is blue and named “Beach Pattern”.
