A creative journal attesting to the profound personal impact of that first painting lesson beneath the big old mulberry tree ... stubby 3 year-old toes squelching into rotten purple fruit; pink tongue curled out with the effort of forging a wet, sticky, paint masterpiece. African storm clouds billowing just above.

My Own Work, Part 3










Welcome to the third and final post of the "Beach House Party Room Paintings" series! I finished off my mural painting 'spree' with a real big bang ... namely, re-decorating a massive rocket that formed the entrance to the Space-themed party room! More images can be seen in the Gallery at the BeachHouse website.

My Own Work








Thought I'd share photos of some more of my own work ... these are murals that I painted for a party room at a Kids Fun Centre in Perth called The BeachHouse. 
If you click on the above link to the official website for The BeachHouse, you can see more photos of my paintings in the "Gallery" section beneath the title "Underwater World". These are the largest paintings I've ever attempted and I had loads of fun working on them, although they took months to complete!

Set Designs





As promised, here are some more pictures of the Set Designs I've done for the Beachway Live concert club (see the link to their website on the right). The first is a photo of the screens we made for the Glyn MacDonald concert ... just used wood planks from Bunnings, some calico and then painted the logo onto the fabric. Easy, cheap and very effective!! 

Directly above that are a couple of images of the actual set design for that same concert ...  sewing 30 metres worth of fabric together proved no easy task on my little sewing machine! 

My favourite design is the one I created for the Joe Chindamo concert as seen in the very top two pictures. This was probably the cheapest and most effective/visually appealing. I simply cut a whole lot of circles out of cardboard boxes, painted these white and glued black irrigation piping around the edges. The fun part was laying these out into two roughly symmetrical shapes, cable-tying them together and then hanging from a bar in the ceiling.

Concert Club Design

Yippee Do!! I've finally entered the world of blogging ... how exciting! Thought I'd share a design with you that I created for a concert club in Perth called Beachway Live (www.beachwaylive.com.au). I have the honour of being their principal set designer which is great fun! More pictures of my designs to follow shortly.
