Menzies' Lion at Melbourne Open House

During Open House Melbourne next weekend there will be a display of drawings relating to Scot's Church. As part of the Melbourne Urban Sketchers group I drew the Menzies' Lion of Scots. I was the only one of our group to focus on him and he has a history to boot!. See a print of this drawing and find out more next weekend... Four prints will be available to purchase, the original is POA.

' Local jewellers, designers and artisans were challenged to create
a series of men's pendants to retail under $250.

The 'Enhancement' group exhibition opening takes place in-store at Lord Coconut.
As participating jewellers will be in attendance, the opening is a great opportunity to discuss the finished pendants, their inspirations and the jewellery-making techniques with the exhibitors themselves.'

My first art pendant is in this show. Intrigued? Then you'd better check it out!

The Dark Knight

 

The Dark Knight

31mm x 48mm  x 4.5mm

ink, wax on beef bone

Inspired by the classic Batman symbol inside an ellipse, and movie title, 

this piece realistically depicts a grey-headed fruit bat. 

To loosely paraphrase a well known quote from the Batman film: 

it's the animal that isn't wanted by some vocal townsfolk and farmers but 

it is the animal needed to pollinate our native flora, regenerating the forest.

Exhibited as part of Enhancement at Lord Coconut

Dodo - Anatomy of a Loss (Part 1)

Dodo - Anatomy of a Loss (Part 1)

vintage paper, ink, watsonia bulb husk, acetate, paper

15 x 11

After seeing the exhibition and owning the book 'A Gap in Nature' by Peter Schouten, 

in which the Dodo is prominently featured, I was inspired to create my own dignified dodo artwork. 

Historically the dodo has been depicted as a slightly silly bird. 

Schouten bucked that trend beautifully. 

The original scientific name for the dodo was Didus ineptus reflecting the period lack of respect for the species. It's now known as Raphus cucullatus.
