These are my first drypoint prints for decades - Akinesia and Gloria which I did today. My pet project is reworking a selection of my visual diaries over the past 3 decades. I wanted to do a series of prints, but it's been two decades since I did any etchings and I don't own a press. So, I'm incredibly grateful to printmaker Monika Lukowska-Appel here in Perth in Western Australia at the Midland Arts Junction who ran a workshop for artists in my area.

Thanks Robert from The Victim’s Ball for sharing his musical journey with my artwork Bals des Victimes adapted for cover art for his new album Body Parts. They have an iconic Melbourne sound, obsess about the French Revolution and make you think of attending a carnival in an alleyway in the middle of a lost town somewhere beyond the black stump.

This drawing is how I felt after watching George Floyd die on the internet and the BLM riots and the Covid 19 pandemic lockdown, I can only post this and hope we will get through this together. SInce then we’ve also had January 6th in the US….

I really enjoyed going along to my first life drawing session in nearly 28 years. It was fun. A lot of young artists and students, $1 beers and wine, a 3 hour session and professional models. I must find time to go back because I’m pretty rusty, but after 20 years I don’t think I did too badly.

The Novocaine's new singles Freedom Please & Till Deathhave my artwork White Noise on the cover (click on the links). This new sound connects with metal in a really original way,

I am the featured artist in The French Literary Review this October, an elegant little journal in the south of France focusing its passion for poetry and prose around France or themes in connection with its history and culture.
