Archibald Portrait - Rod Hardy

I met with Rod Hardy yesterday for a sitting for the Archibald.

He's a fascinating man - director of December Boys with Daniel Radcliffe, X-Files, Burn Notice, The Mentalist, and Battlestar Galactica to name a few. And he's mixed with some BIG names...Michael Caine, Pierce Brosnan, Henry Winkler. There's plenty more.

You can read all about him on his website http://www.rodhardy.com/index.htm

It's fascinating talking to him. We don't talk a lot about Hollywood, but rather life and all its strange synchronicities.

I'm very much enjoying the painting process and Rod is very generous with his time.

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
