Mid last week i was so inspired after watching a documentary on Melbourne artists 'Ghostpatrol' + 'Miso' [check out http://ghostpatrol.net.s5650.gridserver.com/galleries/sketchbook - oh so magical, provocative and retro/post-modern+cute!]. It threw me back into the style of Miyazaki and anime which to me represents the most livid form of play and expression.Then i started feeling a touch clone-like, as if copying someone else's style. I began to wonder what my own style was. My 2nd painting is a response to that questioning.
When we were young, my brother and i used to roam the wilds of our semi-urban home-scape. Tadpole catching was an annual delight, and we'd sneak onto a neighbour's property ('the pond people') to collect frog eggs and tadpoles for our makeshift aquariums.
Thanks Brook for the thought-provoking topic.
