Outpost Cockatoo Island
Last month, Dec 2011, ended a 5 week street art event on Cockatoo Island, Sydney Harbour, featuring an amazing selection of artists mostly from Australia but also all over the world, I was lucky enough to paint 3 projects there, 1 massive wall with Everfresh, a panel in the dogleg tunnel, and another corrugated iron archway hidden in one of the warehouses. (As well as a few mini small things for the skateboard kids mini ramps.)
It was like a camp for all types of artists, with most people staying in the tents while they install their section. I was so flat out before the opening I didnt really take any photos, so I’ve stolen some photos from various websites. In particular thanks to Tristan Stefan Edouard, James Watkins, Gourmatic and maybe some more I cant remember sorry. Many thanks to everyone working there, in particular the Ambush Gallery guys and the Harbour Trust.
If anyone wants to make a video of the Everfresh wall’s production, I have enough footage for a short online project.
This gallery is a selection of my involvement on the island,

The Island Pro Skate Comp:
I also was asked by Skateboard Australia to come back for the last weekend to paint their course, It was good to get back to the island to see what else had been created there, and this was a great job, kinda funny painting my interpretation of the harbour bridge (below) , with a badly printed photo on wet paper, while I could see the actual bridge across the water.
This gallery is some course shots, and some I’ve stolen from Skateboard Australia‘s site, cheers

Mother of Millions Art Show
All Welcome!
Mother of Millions is the name of a beautiful succulent from Africa, which is highly toxic to cattle, with the ability to spread like fire, hence the name. It is also a metaphor for the earth, and life on it, which is a current theme loosely tying the works together.
Thanks to Danny Jarquio in NY for these colourful words, as well as Mish Lockwood for the title….. and of course the sponsors who are helping out. After party Cherry Bar. ACDC Lane – Rock on
Thanks to anyone who gave me footage for this, I believe all the artwork is from 2011, Brazil , Melbourne, Adelaide, + Alice Springs.

Amnesty Wall
Amnesty International approached me to paint a wall to draw attention to their cause, which is human rights issues around the world. Each artist was given a block to interpret articles in a visual way.
This video was made by Mongolian artist Heesco.
Thanks to ruth for most of these photos:
Many Thanks to Amnesty for the opportunity and funding, to Racheal, Ben and the crew at Nutritious Catering for the use of the wall … (and lunch) and to Napier Studios / Yarra Council. More info on Amnesty http://www.amnesty.org.au/
