It is finally booked....3 odd years in the making. The 'LET THERE BE GUITAR' exhibition is a happening. Dang! Time to start promoting this thang...
4th - 18th November Soma Gallery, Sydney Road Brunswick.
Next up...Skateboarding.
Been working on a few more paintings.
A tribute to the backyard plywood ramp. Plywood Pirates. Grew up skating backyard ramps. Nothing like it. Can't believe that parents did this for their kids.
Eggplant, tucking in the knee (Grosso wouldn't be happy...).
