I Don’t Think You Know Who I am
‘I don’t think you know who I am: An Approach to making a career/living as an artist’,
Explore the agony of being an artist in a mad world where economics and art don’t quite go hand in hand. Should you be thinking about your superannuation and preparing for your old age or throw caution to the wind and get on with the business of creating in case tomorrow you are run over by a tram? Get a read of this mercurial madness and see if you come out the other end with a better idea of the ball game.

A Year of Envelopes
A Year of envelopes emerged as an idea to facilitate the opening of envelopes that continually arrive in the mailbox. You open the envelope and you do a cartoon on it. The contents of the envelope will have more chances of being read if the envelope is opened.
Also I was inspired by this book by Shrigley. He is a cartoonist. I had been trying on and off for several years to make a cartoon about everyday life – and it wasn’t working for me. It seemed to have no, rythym or theme that could carry it through as a series. Shrigley’s work seems to have none of the above either and on top of that he got his work published.
So that is the problem – to encompass ‘the everyday’ just cannot have a theme or style. Our everydays are always so same and so different. They leap from the washing up, to intense experiences, to memories, to reflection. You can have a day when you do not laugh. Sometimes the day is about someone else, not even you.
So here it is or will be – a year of opening those insidious envelopes and responding to the everyday.
