Zombie Walk

This is a picture of Brad Marsellos and me dressed up for the Bundaberg Crush Festival  inaugural Zombie Walk.  It was great fun! About 100 zombies turned out in some very imaginative costumes.   The Walk promises to be  even bigger next year.

The Electra Street Wall

The Hitz FM sponsored 7 artist in 7 days project finished yesterday on schedule. The production of this mural,  has been a major collaboration between  seven of Australia's top artists in this genre. The project, the brainchild of  our own Crush Marketing  genius, Jess Marsellos, has resulted in a stunning work that showcases a variety of idiosyncratic styles of painting.

The seven talented artists not only produced a powerful mural, but made themselves available for school talks which were very  warmly received.  They also made themselves available on site between painting sessions, to talk to many of those people who gathered at the site each day.

Together, the artists developed a brilliantly structured design with a controlled palette of colours. Each artist bought something unique to this outstanding artwork.

Artists:  BEASTMAN
              PHIBS
              CREEPY
              TWO ONE ELEPHANT
              SLACKS
              GIMIKS BORN
              NUMSKULL

As part of Bundaberg's Crush Festival, Brad Marsellos (Producer  ABC  Open Wide Bay) and I were invited to show some of our experimental videos.   Brad did all of the work really as I was tied up with the exhibition in Sydney.

We showed about an hour of videos, half of which were by young students from local schools.

I was so impressed by the videos  the students had produced.  Their works were sometimes witty, always insightful.  Each video had a message.  All in all, it was just so impressive.

Brad had developed  sound tracks provided by Joe Saxby (student, musician extraordinare) and another friend, to fit together with some video images I had  produced. The results are fantastic and the works have been a brilliant collaboration for all of  us.

Thanks Brad, Joe, James,Tyler,  Sam and  Julia. You people have a great future ahead of you.
