Recent Ink.

Iv been putting alot of ink to paper recently writing travel tales, life stories, short stories, tall stories and interviews of inspiring folk. Some of my writings you may come across in an online publication Sea Stoke others are hidden very deeply in volumes of old books some with lines, some with sketches. Some I know they exist but I cant for the life of me find them... I hate it when that happens. Anyway I just put together some words about a friend of mine who is an epic screenprinter, here are some accompany images that I found from a while back.
Stay Adrift.

Garage days

Bead fly curtain to the sky.

Kill the boredom.

This is an old canvas i cracked out back in the days living out in the Yallingup forest.. i was frothing on a graphic designer but i cant remember his name.. he was the inspiration for this. anyway i havent done a canvas for a year an a day so the other day an old friend and i ran down the g store and shelled some clams for those shiny little fresh ones.. the kind of almost art that develops over red wine and "flavoured" brownies... il post the results of this movement soon..... in the meantime kill the boredom.. get your hands on a freshy today!

Work.

At the moment Im working on some portraits for a modelling competition type of gig for a very good friend of mine... unfortunately I dont think im allowed to disclose much more or reveal too much until everything is finalised and we seal the deal. This is my mate Jimmy he was one of the boys I was asked to shoot.. I just wanted to share this one for now and keep the rest under my hat, I think its a pretty one and it shows the interestingness of facial symmetry which im getting more familiar with the more I shoot portraits.. maybe one day il do a coffee table book of them... we'll see. x x x

Tallow

by now you must have caught the breeze or even smelled the daisies...but do you want to know some more about these pretty ladies?

head to this space...... x x x

More mess.

You should see the mess in my studio, its hectic but i love how the hot kid that works at the petrol station till late hours tells me how he's been cranking up the gas on all the lighters so when people buy them they burn their eyebrows off. classic. he doesn't mind that im covered in paint. he doesn't mind that i smoke.  i don't mind that he is probably 8 years younger than me. oh and Oscar Wright once said " the balance of life is measured by noise and mess"

Story boards.

working on a show in melbourne in a couple of weeks... you should see my studio floor pretty weird right about now. here are some little story board images that im thinking of incorporating in some way

Real Rad Rides and Rhythmsticks

Really good boards and down to earth shapers dont always come hand in hand, handcrafted yet humble, clean lines but not too cool. So easy on the eye and some cute as pie, look good but feel good. Think really fun retro boards; singos, eggs, logs, stubs, midlengths, old meets new, done up EH's, oldskool pushies with pink pinstripes, pastels and clinkers....

Iv just put my order in for a pea green boat... i feel like a little kid at christmas

look at more of Jonnos boards at www.rhythmsticks.com.au summer is sliding just around the corner.....x
