These are old photos from a trip I took to Tassie early last year. I thought id share because damn, Tasmania is SO beautiful.
This is a new sticker I made to stick in buses and such. It’s part of my ‘Tell em what they want to hear!’ motto/project. Because really, thats all I wanna hear.
This is one of my newer stickers, in memory of our cat Motita. I hope he’s in a rainbow.

‘The Boy who ate God’
Sometime last week I had a dream that came to me as a poem. I don’t know where it came from or what it means but this is what I wrote as soon as I woke up.
I think it’s called ‘The Boy that ate God”..
‘He came to earth lost and alone,
and he looked for a place, a place he called home,
he searched for a day, a month and much more,
he walked by himself a thousand and yore,
one day he got sick, and could walk not a step
and realised how his tummy was screaming for help
that it was hungry, so hungry,
for in a hundred thousand years,
he’d not had one bite,
so he stopped and he ate,
he ate the trees, he ate the birds,
he ate the fields and he ate the herds,
he ate the roads, he ate the signs,
he ate the moats he ate the flies,
he ate the cities, he ate the walls,
he ate their buildings, he ate their halls,
he ate the hills, he ate the mountains,
he ate the volcanoes and natural fountains,
then he ate the planet, the one we called earth,
he ate the rocks and he ate all the dirt,
and he ate our sun, he ate out galaxy
he ate the infinite, he ate it all,
until finally he ate God.
then he ate himself.
so there was nothing.
not even nothing there was,
there simply wasn’t.
there wasn’t.’

Stickers are my tools..
And the world is my canvass.
SO I’m slowly coming to the realization that this blog is missing a lot of me. Originally my blog was meant to be used for processing thoughts, sharing stories and ideas etcetera. Now I’ve just been lazy and just sharing videos. I’m gonna fix that. I miss the old format, I want to read back about what was my obsession, what I thought about it, what I did and so on.
At the moment, my obsession is Stickers. I’m REALLY into stickers, I think they’re amazing. I believe they are a truly fun democratic artform, that is easy to share, produce and experiment with. They are a subversive but non destructive medium which turn anything and everything into a canvass. They can interact with their environment, they can be turned into art, they can be stuck and peeled off if you mess up, they are forgiving and in my opinion, they are the very opposite of elitist.
Elitism = My least favorite bit about Art.
Stickers = Not Elitist.
Stickers = Fun.
Fun = My most favorite bit about Art.
Im currently working on a bunch of projects. Big sticker murals on the streets, at exhibitions and also on throwing a workshop for teenagers to teach them how to make, print and share stickers. It’s the first time I’ve ever tried anything like this and though I feel a little intimidated and trepidious (i just made that word up) i’m going to give it a go. It’s about time I get some official recognition for all the random crap I do.
Anyway, to sign off, this is the latest sticker batch I’ve been working with. I’m putting these little dudes up all over the streets of Brunswick.
Little reminders of death.
