Unpopular Penguin Commission - You Choose the Book Title

IMPORTANT - after you have purchased this painting, please email bluethumb so they can let me know what book title and author you would like painted onto the central, white area. You can also decide whether the text is quite coherent, or distorted, blurred or jumbled. I will then complete the painting, and it will be collected by the courier and delivered to you in the usual way.

Your painting will NOT be the exact one shown in the main photo, that’s just an example. You can choose a different colour, and of course it will have your chosen book title. It will have a gloss varnish, painted sides, and will be ready to hang without framing. You can choose any book title you like, real or imagined.

Please feel free to contact me through Bluethumb for any further information, and please have a look through my earlier paintings (click on 'sold' in my profile) to get an idea of the types of paintings I have completed in the past.

Painter from the Blue Mountains. I've had paintings in the Sulman Prize 2012‚ Mosman Prize 2012‚ Calleen Art Prize 2013‚ Gallipoli Art Prize 2014 & 2016, Gosford Art Prize 2018 & 2018, the ANL Maritime Art Prize 2018 and the 2019 Hawkesbury Art Prize (winner). In the last nine years I've had a lot of success with abstract paintings, drawing inspiration from the covers of 'Popular Penguin' paperback books, from the classic Monopoly board, Uno cards, and other pop culture icons. The paintings are distorted representations of the subject matter, transformed with thick brushstrokes and often random lettering, retaining the essence of the original but also becoming something new. I have had sell out shows in Sydney, Melbourne and Singapore. My art has been featured in Art Edit magazine, The Grand Designs Australia Sourcebook and the Financial Review. PLEASE NOTE - commissions now closed for 2024. Thank you!
