This is the start of a little series of paintings based on objects around our house.

They’ll all be released together soon.

It was fun to paint the whole thing besides the lit part of the incense, then work under pressure before it became a pile of ash.

“Incense in the ashtray” 2026

Or the longer alternate title:

“An ex smoker using his favourite Dutch ashtray as his favourite incense holder is a clear sign of personal growth, and possibly an unnecessary clinging to the past”.

Here’s my contribution to the Swatch This Space Group Show showing at SOL GALLERY early next year.

The whole show is created on British Paints swatch cards.

Excited to see the show come together!

The “Kate & Babyshakes” T-Shirt Pack - A Fundraiser for Support Act.

To celebrate this painting and ride it’s been on, we decided to run an AUS MUSIC T-SHIRT DAY pre-sale featuring the painting.

All proceeds from the shirt pack go straight to Support Act

This painting is a combination of three different people with very different creative outlets, so we thought a fundraiser for Support Act would be the best way celebrate and support the industry we’re all a part of and the people in it.

PRE-SALE IS OPEN NOW AND UP UNTIL 8TH OF NOVEMBER.

In the pack you get:

1x Kate & Babyshakes shirt (screen printed by BlackDog Ink)
1x Brad M Collins sticker
1x Full Flower Moon Band sticker
1x Good God sticker
1x Kate & Babyshakes postcard

We hope this fundraiser can offer a small bit of help to Support Act and the assistance they provide our fellow creatives in need.

Thanks!

While I was floating between Gold Coast and Brisbane last month for the Brisbane Portrait Prize, I booked in a photoshoot with luke_henery

When Luke isn’t ripping around with Violent Soho, he’s taking stunning photos with this big beast of a camera.

I’m stoked he could fit me in while I was in town.

I take a lot of photos of artists and musicians as part of my many side hustles, but I’m pretty great at avoiding going on this side of the camera.

Thanks for the great shots luke_henery. It was so fun seeing the whole process behind this way of shooting!

Here’s my full painting that has been selected as a finalist in the Brisbane Portrait Prize for 2026.

When I had the idea for this painting, I had already been painting self portraits or portraits of friends wearing bird heads for masks, so when I saw this mask on FFMB’s MEGAFLOWER album art, I was instantly drawn to it and quickly scanned the credits of the vinyl to find out who made this thing.

It took me a while to reach out to Kate and pitch my idea, but eventually I did and she said yes… the only hurdle was that Kate lives in Melbourne, I live in Port Macquarie and the mask was with Good God in Brisbane. To qualify for the prize you have to have an in person session with your sitter, so as long as I could get the mask and meet Kate in Melbourne we were good to go.

There’s so much more to this story, so I’m going to rant about it in my newsletter and explain how it all happened and how it all crashed and burned for a minute, but then came out the other side to end up in a prize.
You can sign up to my newsletter through my website if you’re up for a read!

There is also a People Choice for the BPP which I’m going to link in my bio if you could spare a second to through a vote my way, that would be massively appreciated!

Thanks again to Kate Dillon for agreeing to this idea and to Good God for trusting me with the mask!

See you soon Brisbane Portrait Prize

I’m over the moon to announce that I’m a finalist in the Brisbane Portrait Prize with this portrait of Kate Dillon from FFMB, sitting beside herself wearing the mask made by Good God that features on the FFMB Megaflower album package.

There’s so much to say about this painting and how it happened, but I’ll get into that later.

Thanks for being a part of it Kate Dillon

It’s also super exciting to be the cover image of the 2026 finalist gallery on the BPP website.

Alright, I’m gonna go keep yelling about this to everyone I see now.

See you in a couple of weeks for the opening, Brisbane!

I got some shots back from my Luminosity Youth Summit Masterclass and it looks like I was just teaching the moves for YMCA.

Please slide left and right on the little dots for an animated version of my talk.

Some drawing happened too, I’m just really animated when I speak.

Thanks again for having me, Luminosity. I’m honoured to be a part of such a great event!
