This year I was happy to be invited by Outre Gallery to exhibit at the Affordable Art Fair in Melbourne. They had a gorgeous booth of interesting, contemporary artworks by a select group of artists, both local and international.
Faded Beauty
I exhibited four new sculpture paintings and one A2 screen print created specifically for the event.
With these works I am continuing to explore the double standard language of gender. It’s an old narrative of equality (or lack there of) but one that is still so interesting to me. Why are there so many more derogative terms for female than males?

I had a great response to these works and the sentiment behind them. All original sculpture paintings have sold but there are still some ‘Bubbles Burst’ screen prints available at Outre Gallery.

Norma Jean Wofford, nicknamed 'The Duchess' by Bo Diddley, was the second rockin' female guitarist in Bo's band in the 1960's.

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.

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. :)

The Arbory Afloat in Melbourne have collaborated with Four Pillars to create a limited edition pink ‘Miami Afloat Gin’ exclusive to their Yarra River bar, featuring one of my illustrations on the label.
The ingredient list includes pineapple sage, orris root, strawberry gum, the peels of orange, lemon and grapefruit and the pink colour is the addition of Davidson Plums.
Unfortunatey the gin is not available to buy but you can taste it exclusively at the Arbory Afloat in Melbourne. I can vouch that it tastes as good as it looks. But be quick, the pink gin party will be over by the end of summer :)
Big thanks to 21-19 for the awesome design and Jacky Winter all things biz.

Late last year I received an email from Playboy US asking me to create an updated version of Leroy Neiman’s Femlin. I was beyond excited and flattered. I have always loved Neiman’s mischievous, nymphish character he created for the Party pages of Playboy magazine in 1955 and continued to create in the 60’s and 70’s.
It was so fun to work on this. It’s not often I receive a job where nudity is actually encouraged! And the art directors at Playboy were so lovely to work with.
I’m yet to see it in print but here are some of the images which are in the new quarterly Playboy magazine which launched Jan 18th 2019. Keep your eyes peeled at quality news stands.
