Yay, it's our first proper post since getting back from our trip to the states!! Funnily enough it was something I wanted to post before the trip but ran out of time... anyways, about a week before we left me and my wife had an exhibition at our
buddies gallery, to help raise some funds for our trip! It was only my second time exhibiting work in a gallery so I was pretty nervous but it all went really well and we sold a bunch of stuff on opening night so we were really happy with that!!
My theme was one I've wanted to paint for a while and that is, my cat , he's actually my wifes but he's adopted me as his dad! (see below) ...
basically he's really cool and my ideas came from when he's in a deep sleep he'll have these dreams where he twitches and makes heaps of funny noises, so I've always wanted to know what he's dreaming about, so I decided to paint his dreams!!
And here's a peek at what the place looked like on opening night, in this shot I'm in the background getting interveiwed by a local music channel... weird!!

Ack! Did I act inappropriately and mentioned the "A" word somewhere?! If so, I apologize! But I honestly don't remember! Thanks for re-issuing me Mukhood... I promise I'll be good from now on!
Did i ever tell you my family and I were originally planning on immigrating to NZ instead of the US some 14 yrs ago? Ha! Maybe I would've been a Muk afterall!
Nice Paintings, i love chubba lubba...
Man, those paintings are great! Now we need a gallery like that here in South Florida, USA. I love the cat character. Is he thematic or a working character for some project?
Keep grinding!!
I love them and I want them to marry my little sister and give her the life that her deadbeat ex-convict boyfriend couldn't.
awesome work, man!
These ROCK!! Congrat!
Wow. You've got some fantastic paintings here. The control is so good, I thought they must be digital at first!
I especially like the Mario, missing nads and treasure box!
i really like the box a lot.
loooooove the mario one!
The gallery looks all sorts of great.
I have a soft spot for cute cats and classic games, so you can only guess which is my favorit here.
