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.

Break a Lead

On Wednesday I'll be filming 3 new episodes of Break a Lead with Chris and the team from Pro Eye. Should be a fun day.

You can see the 2 we already did on Breakalead.net

I had a wonderful article in the Herald Sun today showing the painting of Mick Malhouse. I added the Premiership Cup to the painting as a surprise. Mick was really great making time to see the reporter - he's so busy at the moment.

Thanks to Danny Finley who organised the article for me. He's a wonderful support.
