The year is really starting to get away now, been too fast if you ask me. "Your Little Love Song" has been included in issue 17 of We Are The Image Makers. Also have some work in issue 3 of Logical Unsanity which was a surprise being shown along side some of the artists I love and admire such as the great Joseph Larkin and fellow Aussie Jon Beinart. I had to pull out of the Brunswick Street Gallery show which was a bummer and a half, but I'll be looking to be a part of it next year.
Doing some work at the moment for a couple of authors which I'm excited about, I love working authors on book covers. I'll also soon have some work displayed as acoustic panels in a new music venue in Brisbane which is one of the coolest things I've been asked to do. I'll have more information on that in the future.
I just received an invitation to be a part of the 2009 Wrest Point Art Awards, I had a great time there in January so I'm hoping get down there for that one too.
Lately I've been getting back into an early love of mine being Video Art. I'm in the process of puting together a site to show some of the video projects I've been working on which I'm hoping to have up some time over the Summer.

A bunch of new photography work has been added to the Photo Media section of the Gallery, including my most recent street photography work which will be exhibited in the Brunswick Street Gallery's upcoming "Picture This" show in Melbourne. The show will run from September 12th - 25th, 2008.
My Self Portrait, Panel 3 piece is also being exhibited in this years International Digital Art Show at the Museum of Computer Art's new gallery space in Brooklyn, NYC. The exhibition will be running from September 2nd until the 18th. Thanks to Don Archer for the continual support of my work. I also have some work in issue 63 of PhireBrush. Unfortunately, I've had to remove the free textures from my website after some ongoing abuse by a couple of small international groups that I've been unable to combat. My apologies to those young artists who have enjoyed using my textures. My texture collections cd is still available in the store however. All part of being an artist in a digital age I suppose. Thanks also to the Noise global art network for publishing my work in the July newsletter. The exposure that brought with it was very unexpected.

Some new work added to both the Artwork and Photo Media sections of the Gallery. I've also added a new section on the gallery page for my recent Fractal designs. Thank you to those who have sent such kind comments and feedback on the new work.
I've also updated the Introduction page with a more up to date artist statement.
I have a new piece in issue 62 of Phirebrush, but apart from that I've been very focused on my major project for the year, so not much in the way of magzines or exhibitions at the moment. I'm also reworking the store page at the moment, currently scrapping a heap of dated prints and moving the better art prints to my RedBubble profile, as their prints have become a much higher standard than DeviantArt. I also have some new desktop bacgrounds free to download.

Finally got around to posting some new work on the site. The Gallery section has been redesigned and seperated into two individual sub-galleries. I think it works a bit better than the last design and it's much easier for me to update and add work to.
My piece "Self Portrait, Part 3" can be seen in the February issue of DeskTop Magazine. I totally forgot that I was appearing in there. I'd known about it since December. The coverage I received from the publication was incredible, it was a very nice surprise to find out, thanks Tony. There are lots of new photographs in the Photo Media Gallery so be sure to check them out. I've also added a new piece to the Artwork Gallery titled "Just Like Heaven". Yes it's named after the Cure song!
You can also see me in the 2008 Museum Of Computer Art Awards at the MOCA website. Thanks to Don Archer for the great annual event. Thanks also for everyones very kind emails, comments and messages since November. I hope I got back to all of you. If not, just message me again.

Some new artwork & photography work has been added to the Gallery page. My piece "Soul Mates" recently won a contest on Red Bubble. Thanks to SnowDog for conducting the contest, there were some really great works entered.
For anyone in the Hobart area of Tasmania, I've been invited to exhibit in the Wrest Point Art Awards & Exhibition in January, 2008.
The exhibition will be open to the public from noon to 9pm daily, from the 5th until 13th of January at the Boardwalk Gallery, Sandy Bay. I'll have two pieces in the exhibition, "Cataract Gorge", and "Self Portrait, Part 3". I'll also be appearing in the next issue of Photoshop Creative Magazine as a runner up in the PS Creative Contest.
A sneak peek of the 2nd issue of GUD Magazine has been released with my piece "Fools & Intellects" on the cover. The folks at GUD have been really supportive of my work. I'm looking forward to the release of issue 2. I can also be seen in the latest issue of Throw Shapes, and on the issue 10 cover of Ripples Magazine.
Congratulations to Declan & Christian of Mako for the release of their debut album "Living On Air". I can't wait to hear the new tracks.
Thanks as always to everyone for the kind emails, comments and messages regarding my work, it's very much appreciated.
