I know I know - I went awol after the Yours The Demon show opened. I’m back from an extended holiday in space delirium land and it is back to the crunch. This month I’m doing the guest Q&A over at Mecho: The Style Black Book, I’ll be answering questions throughout the month of February.

ALSO I got a massive Design Federation group show coming up next week:

Art Complaining

I can’t seem to fall asleep before 4am these days. I get really guilty about not being at the studio (oh yeah I am renting a studio with a bunch of designers above American Apparel on Oxford St now forgot to mention).

I got home an hour ago and tried watching the Stargate movie with James Spader so it could put me to sleep but I just got frustrated at the tactical carelessness of the movie’s military. Then I tried watching Before Sunrise but I hate Ethan Hawke (except in Gattaca). I need to wake up early to get back to the studio but I don’t think that’ll happen because I am still wide awake.

I skipped Christmas today so I could do some more drawings. I fear that once the work for this show is over I will have absolutely nothing to do and my life will be empty, I can’t win in either case - either get exhausted from drawing or feel guilty from not drawing. Arghhhh!!! Same old shit.

I finished all the work for my show and thought I could breathe easy over Christmas and New Years but then I started thinking I didn’t have enough so I started to draw more. There will be another six of these hopefully….and maybe some more…I got a little over a week left….

Really wish I didn’t take the last couple of days off…really wish I didn’t have to celebrate Christmas and New Years.

This one is called Into The Crevasse (The Man From Snowy River)
