My take on the iconic 1974 Roxy Music album cover, 'Country Life'.
I've always loved this iconic image of Eveline Grunwald and Constanze Karoli taken by Eric Bowman. Scroll down to see the original image.
The two German girls were apparently fans and met the band in a bar. They agreed to do the shoot when Roxy Music's original models fell through.
The title ‘Country Life’ was named after the British magazine for the gentry and Brian Ferry wanted a tongue in cheek contrast to the usual wholesome, staid photographs that sported the cover. It proved to be quite controversial and was censored in some parts of the world. Early US copies were shrink-wrapped in opaque plastic and then re released with the back cover pic that featured only the trees/bushes.
My original painting was exhibited and sold at The Record Collection show curated by Rick Mereki. Partial benefits going to the Ukraine Crisis Appeal.
Now available here as a limited edition print from A3+ to A0 size.
Another legend gone. RIP Ronnie Spector, lead singer of the Ronettes and original 'bad girl of rock n roll'. What a voice, with the best beehive in town.
A4 and A3 limited edition prints now available in the shop. High quality giclee print on 300gsm natural Cotton Rag Art Paper using archival inks. Limited edition of 100 hand signed and numbered by the artist
I also have two small original paintings of Ronnie available. Click on the images to take you directly to the shop.
All hail Poison Ivy Rorschach, co founding mistress of The Cramps and Gretsch slinging queen of rock’n roll.
I’ve been lucky enough to have witnessed The Cramps in Melbourne, London and New York. Their live shows were a hoot- Lux’s hilarious antics contrasted with Ivy’s ice cool badass-ery and guitar prowess.
Her important role was often undermined. “Nobody ever talks to me about music or guitar,” she said. “I’m the queen of rock n’ roll and for this to not to be recognised is pure sexism.”
A4 and A3 Ivy prints are now available in the shop as part of the music icons print range.
High quality giclee print on 300gsm natural Cotton Rag Art Paper using archival inks. Limited edition of 100 hand signed and numbered by the artist.
I was recently asked to contribute to a group show at Outre Gallery called ‘A League of Their Own’ - a showcase of loveable misfits, bad ass legends and vociferous villains. I couldn’t go past the iconic Varla (Tura Satana), Billie (Lori Williams) and Rosie (Haji) from Russ Meyers 1965 cult classic, Faster Pussycat Kill Kill. Shot in black and white, such classic scenes and styling, with the best one liners.
The original painting on plywood sold but due to an overwhelming response I have released a limited edition of giclee prints available from A3+ to A0 size in the online store. So now you can now take legends Tura, Lori and Haji home with you. :)

I was recently asked to be a part of a group show, NSFW at Spoke Art in San Francisco. The show featured over 40 female and femme identifying artists who explored the topic of female sexuality. The varied works included painting, embroidery, neon and prints. Some of the artists involved were Miss van, Laura Berger, Jessica Hess, Petite Luxures, Jessica So Ren Tang, Winnie Truong, Robin Eisenberg, Meryl Pataky, Sabrina Elliot and more. Dasha Matsuura curated the show and you can read her interview about the show in Juxtapoz magazine here. Plus another interview here.

Aloha! A new print is in the store and somehow I forgot to post it here! Following on from China Girl, this is Leilani, featuring all things Hawaiian. The name was inspired by the Hoodoo Gurus song of the same name, taken from their classic 80’s debut album, Stoneage Romeos. It’s still a fave of mine. Leilani is a Hawaiian name that means heavenly flower.
My great grandfather lived in Hawaii for sometime and came back to Australia to design and build his home inspired by his travels, complete with palm trees. It was a very unusual design for 1905. He named it Hale Mauka (house on the hill) and it still stands today.
She is available in A3 size up to A0 poster size. Shown below holding the A2 size. Head to the shop for more details.

My piece 'Born Sandy Devotional' named after a Triffid song and album of the same name. For those non Australians the Triffids were an alternative 80's rock and pop band hailing from Western Australia, where I was grew up. I've always loved this album title.
