Disconnect/Reconnect Revisited

Free next weekend? In a art mood? Come check out the opening of Disconnect/Reconnect Revisited happening at Depot Artspace/Gallery located in Devonport, Auckland. I will be a part of the show displaying the portraits that I have been working on lately, will also be painting live on a few days of the week if you are keen to visit. Hope to see you guys there.

New year, New self portraits

So after a few months of crazy Christmas retail (the day job) of 2011 and random vacations, I am back, with a fresh mind and eager to get back into it. So far, finished the first piece of work, so here is a partial shot of the painting, hope you like it.

I am back!

Although it has been a slight while. Just over a month, the studio space welcomes me back with a new roof and some extra water piping. Moved in last week, and have decided to take my painting in a slightly new direction. Going to ditch the Oil colours and use nice old Acrylics. Hope to post photos soon. But for now.. admire a picture I took last week.
