Hidden Faces of the Archibald Opening Night

On Tuesday 1st of June the Hidden Faces of the Archibald opened. It was a great night and Mick Malthouse and his lovely wife Nanette came along. Some of the portraits there are fantastic and you can vote for the People's Choice at the exhibition (if you did vote for mine that would be great).

You can see pictures from the exhibition at http://www.upfrontpictures.com/Events/Refuse2010/Refuse10-1.html

The exhibition runs from 2 June to 11 July and is at the Hilton, South Warf, 2 Convention Centre Place in Docklands, Melbourne. It's worth a visit and is the only representation of Archibald entrants that we'll have in Victoria.

Some fabulous portraits

My portrait of Mick Malthouse is in the Hidden faces exhibition. Come along and visit - there are some great portraits.

How to Draw Film Clips

Last Thursday Chris and Paul from Pro-eye Productions came and over we filmed the first two installments of some 'how to draw' clips. These will lead to a series that we will post on ITunes and all sorts of other places.
It's a really exciting project and I can't wait to explore all the different possibilities it can lead to.
It's a flow on from a book and DVD we filmed about a year ago now for Hinkler books that should be out now.
I'll keep you posted as to when the clips are up.
Above is the book and DVD 'Simply Drawing' and you can order it online at http://www.getprice.com.au/Simply-Drawing-Book-DVD-Gift-Box-Gpnc_302--44679024.htm
