back from the front

i've not touched this blog for a while, but it seems like a good way to let you know what i'm up to. the aim post photos regularly, but we'll see how i go...

he who has ridden

well, the opening of my show went splendidly. there was more people than i expected, and everyone seemed to like the work. we drank beer and sangria, and had a nice friendly chat. thanks to everyone who helped make the magic cowboy dream come true. here's a few photos from my few days in the gallery. i'll post some more of the opening night soon.

Brand new Ford

hello peoples,

i'd like to announce a new edition to the Ford family, Oonagh Violet Ford. Congratulations to my brother Adam, and his lovely wife, on their beautiful baby girl. i might be biased, but she's damn cute!!!

a little bit creepy

my peoples

oh, hello there. my housesitting duties finished this weekend, and i returned to my people in the heart of the inner west. i lugged my backpack, back over the bridge, and caught a train home to beautiful st peters station. i was expecting some form of parade, or at least one float, but was happy being presented with the grey belly of my cat abe, flicking around on the garden path when i got back. he's such a little trooper. i had a good time over in cremorne for the last three weeks, but it's great to back home. here's some pictures anyway, enjoy.


this was the view from my ride home on the ferry from work on thursday. rainbow.


the sun kicking out some rays on the balcony at the apartment in cremorne.


i painted this on the weekend, mostly outside in the sun. i smiled to myself when i had finished, and then realised how long it had been, since i'd genuinely done so. too long.
