I cut out the blanks for these 3 or 4 years ago they then traveled 1700km and two house moves before I finally carved them at the beginning of the year. They came very close to ending up in a fire pit several time

I carved a spoon for the first time in maybe 3 years. I used to make a lot of spoons, I think if I was to go back to making them with any regularity I would probably make them weirder and funkier. This is an old blank I had kicking around.

Scribbly cafe sketch.
As with every year the goal for 2025 is to draw more. Maybe Bluesky can hold me accountable but don’t not too accountable.

Mural I painted in 2022 the design was based on the concept from a community design competition. I vow never to paint bird/angel/butterfly wings ever again.

These ones are mostly finished shaping and waiting on final sanding, I might do a little refinement of the transitions. With these ones I was playing with exaggerated necks and legs. The also tiled nicely on the board.

This mural is from I think 4 years ago and uses the Banjima language from Tom Price for the label. It was part of a new nature playground and was tough to paint. It is my largest and was painted on corrugated iron between 40c+ sun and afternoon storms.

I have painted a few murals in the past and would love to do some more. This one was for a local school last year, the labels are the Wadandi Noongar names for the plants and animals.
