DESCRIBE YOUR ULTIMATE ART CREATION SETUP...
Coolangatta - Rainbow Bay: fifth floor apartment, big
white room with balcony and views to little Marley….
Coffee machine, beer fridge and quality sound system - no
deadlines….
WHAT’S YOUR GREATEST MOTIVATION WHEN IT COMES
TO CREATING ART?
The pursuit of perfection….
YOUR MOST MEMORABLE ART CAREER MOMENT?
Becoming aware that I had the skills to paint whatever I want.
WHAT’S YOUR MOST MEMORABLE SURFING MOMENT?
Can’t pick one but the Early ‘90s off Greenmount point –
blinded by golden sunsets, warm water and surfing with my
wife Shannon, so late into the evenings we could no longer
see the waves coming: Bloody awesome.
IF YOU COULD HAVE LUNCH WITH ONE ARTIST IN THE
WORLD, WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY?
Dave Grohl - for an intro-lesson on how to play the drums like
a rock god.
