3 minutes to midnight…
Its been an awfully long time time between posts. So to save us from the same old same old, here are a few pics from my latest work for the soon to be announced solo show in Melbourne. With a little luck there may be more information up by the end of the week, but in the meantime…
Happy New Year!
Hello everyone, just wanted to write a quick note to say thanks for a great 2010. Everybody who has given me support over the year, your words of encouragement have really helped me to focus, and urged me to keep on going at it. So a big thanks to you and a special thanks to my wife for putting up with the late nights in the studio. Come March 2011, the fruits of all this hard work will be on show in Melbourne, Australia. More details will be posted as they get finalised, but for the time being, keep an eye on this space. I’ll put some previews up over the following weeks so drop in if you get a chance! And of course, have a Happy New Year in 2011. All the best.
Sean.
thank you! (p.s. 1 more week to go)…
Seanの個展もスタートしてもうすぐ２週間になります！その間、来ていただいたお客様、メッセージを残してくださった方々本当にありがとうございます。Seanもとても喜んでおります。ワタクシ鉄子も時間の都合がつく時は、moteさんにお邪魔させていただいております。居心地が良すぎてついつい長居してしまう空間です。オーナーの片桐さん、moteギャラリーの金子さん、林さん、スタッフの皆様、お世話になってます。今回Seanの個展に携わってる中、色々なお話を聞けたり、たくさんの刺激を頂いております。毎回moteにパトロールに行くのが誰よりもワクワクしている鉄子です（笑）残り８日ですが、スタッフの皆様、宜しくお願い致します。とても素敵な空間になってますので、気になる方は是非、足を運んで下さいませ。

flickr friday…
Dieter VDO has a delicious selection on monsters in his flickr folio, all oozing with juicy puss and all the good stuff. Really love his painterly approach and colour. Splendid spendid! Do have a peek!
new work…
Hi everyone. If you have been popping in recently, you may have noticed a big drop in postings over the last few weeks. Basically, it’s because I’m getting a big body of work ready for something special next year back in Australia! Assuming you are still keen to see what I have been up to, there will be occasional updates on new projects on my flickr page, so feel free to pop by anytime. Cheers!
oversized rockets, giant robots & steve…
Of course initially, I was drawn to the oil paintings of the enormous mechanised jet mole machine, the submersible frog car and the hari hari terror beast by sci-fi master artist Shigeru Komatsuzaki, but then Steve had to go and make a silly comment at the end. Boy were his siblings mad.
outsider art…
Recently, a friend introduced me to ‘outsider art in Japan’, a relatively new phenomenon in art here, and consequently the web started sending me messages and links about it, urging me to post something. So I guess I should. Without going into it too much, why not check out Miyako Yoshinaga Art Prospect Gallery in New York; they are currently showing the work of a few ‘outsider’ artists known for exhibiting internationally and there is also a link to their picasa photo page here. As for me, well, I really like it, and I hope to see more people getting involved in this kind of thing in the future.
flickr friday…on a saturday…
A strange wind swept me up and took me to the bar before I could update the news roll. So here is yesterday’s news today. Still fresh though. Check out Ryan Nault’s acrylic pieces on his photostream. The psychedelic colour, lunar themes and contrasting wilder-beast were all winners with me. Being a fan of all three it was hard to resist a wee post.
lost at e minor…
A big warm thanks to lost at e minor for posting a bit about my work on their illustration pages. They have a very thorough website that reports on everything from film to food, without missing anything in between…plus a slew of guest writers eager to share their newest interest come obsession. It’s sharp as razors so won’t you have a look?
