30 paintings in 30 days

I set myself the task of completing 30 paintings in 30 days from march 1-30 2008 and this blog is a blow by blow account of that process. at the end of the 30 days i got a bunch of volunteers together to take the work to the streets.

the 30 paintings were unveiled at art melbourne 08 in april. if you still want your piece of the jigsaw, you'll get your chance at art sydney 08 october 24-26.

have fun reading through my blog and feel free to comment or ask questions.

day 06 - i worked all night

Yesterday i freaked out that it was day 5 and I had nothing to show for it...

Today you can see the fruits of my labors:-)

I'm still freaking a little with this task I have set myself but it was a very happy making experience to finally see something that looked like an artwork this morning

it's also good to see this little fellow along with all the new goodies I have been cooking up

day 05 - all 30

ok all 30 finally designed well a least the bones all filled out any way its been a bit of a trick to make every work interesting and still have the whole thing come together.
