line drawings, from various times/dates

Late 2008

So, clearly I must explain the relevance to image #1 In this post. I drew this picture in a figure drawing class where we where allowed to use props for inspiration. A class member had made this cone shaped "helmet" (which is what I will call it for the purpose of this post) constructed with cardboard and recycled bible pages. No-body in our class seemed to form a social comment about the relevance of symbolism of the racist group the KKK. I think the "helmet" raised a few questions in my mind about freedom of speech and how humanity reacts to symbols of war from Nazi Germany, KKK, Freemasons and other groups of power. Personally I love this drawing, I do not have racial hate.

Ghosts

A few snapshots highlighting some of my favourite times in Melbourne and Perth. Two cities which seem to be competing against each other for as long as I can remember. Starting with The Moon, The Birmingham, The alleyways of Melbourne, Bloodclot Faggots, Myself and the car outside North Perth abandoned Chicken Treat. These old Betty's were asleep for at least thirty minutes, and no, the flash did not wake them up.
