I can see Marc's pix fine (x2)...

Maybe I will post more pix soon, Pete, but Michelle's just had her twins and I'm off to the hospitiful to greet them!! Jeremy and Darcy Doyle.

[Peter Voice]

Have I missed something here? Can any/everyone else see Marc's pics?

[nick nickolas]

I can still see Marcs pics,,,,
There very nice Peter../????

[MarcJBarnes]

Opps, sorry Peter

I'll keep that in mind for next time. I usually like to link my images rather than attaching them since then I can post the same image to more than one site without too much muck about.

Cheers for the knid comment Nick, i'll post more soon as i get back to my home computer.

Wow! Some of that stuff is seriously serious, so to speak.

Tis the season to enjoy beer resposibly..

Melbourne is hot this year and we've got a bout of mid-30c days this summer. This pic is of a recent ad. job, organised by Jenny. (other street pix appeared about the country).

Perhaps it is in theoretical, and ethical contrast to the last pic I posted, "Litter and plastic belongs in the bin".

But as a good friend of mine would say..
"A girl's gotta make a living"

And I do like a beer
P.N.. I think the Brahma would be well-served chilled, with a little lemon or lime.

P.P.N. To Martins post .. The murals were rather dizzying on the stressbuster site! Most impressive.

[Doctor Eric]

The stressbuster murals broke my brain, I'm still in shock.

Nice beer Ulla, but whats the metal dove emblem? Is it a symbol the beer uses?

[Ullarty]

Branding the bottle

Yes the "Brazillian" bird is part of the beer branding. I added an olive branch to the ad agency graphic, in response to the big beer riot in Sydney the week prior!

[MarcJBarnes]

Howdy gang.

Ah summer, goodtimes!

Here's a pic I did for the world buskers fest in CHCH. Need to get my skills up especially with my coloring. So I tryed alot of new things with this piece.

Sorry for the crap photo. This was as high as I could get with a donated fuji quicksnap *tm. They need Helicopter services for pavement artists or something. There's a whole bunch of little goblins at the bottom that have been cropped

More pics on the way.

Another masterfully epic picture ulla! Come visit if you and Nick are down this way.

Here's a picture I did for the arts centre in CHCH NZ. It took 6 days cos' it's been HOT

Just click on the little picture to link to the big one:




It was to big to get clearly in one shot of I made a collage. Enjoy.

Hey Marc, there's no little pic or link

Is that the first time you’ve done the CHCH Buskers’ festival?

When Jodi first rang me in ’97 to devise the CHCH workshops we had one philosophy and objective in mind. To try and teach some NZ artists for festivals so that people like me did not have to be imported.

I know you have been working a lot ( Guinness Book of Records and all) and have done many festivals since, but this is the first I’ve heard of you at CHCH Buskers’ Fest.

Jodi takes pride in only having the best and you’ve really made my day by getting there. It is among the best festivals in our world and you’ve made the grade. The circle (chalk?) is now complete.

I hope you made a lot of new friends and contacts.

Occasionally, something you did years ago comes back to visit. I’m glad this has.

How are the others among “Chawk” doing?

[MarcJBarnes]

CHAWK
(Christchurch, Artists, Without, Kanvas)
Is now only me sadly, the main members are all doing other things,

Hanna, Is working but is keen to get back into it.

Dixie, Is now the manager of a posh Irish Pub

Jeremy, Just got back from Travelling Europe and is here for two months. Before going back overseas.

Those Workshops were Great! Cheers Chalk circle! Everyone got something great out of the experiences with you guys.

Here's some more art. I did this one for The Wellington Fringe Festival:

Well done Mark glad you are picking up some gigs and strutting your stuff which looks like you had a good time doing it to and that is so important.

I am posting Diana's latest corporate work she did in collaboration with Peter a coupla weekends ago in melb for pacific magazines. Diana worked on all the portraits and figures while Peter did the mapping and signwriting . The blocking and the mast head they both worked on.

I am not posting mine cos although it was the same subject I think her work has a unique style and is a more youthfull and humerous take on a magazine cover.
She composed herself well despite the client was truly gonna take us to hell in a handbasket and to a certain extent still is.

Hi Again, thought you might be interested in Diana's and my new year pic "the wishing well". which we kept going for the Common wealth games in Melbourne's Sth bank.
This was a busking project nothing actually to do with the games but it became part of the games when on a Sunday it had a men's marathon team go over the top and along the usual Souththbank pitch.
The little fox terrier, Diana's dog, Dotty is featured in the garden. She came and posed before the games and barked at the Sunday crowd and had to go back in the car for a little while anyway. Hope you like it . We enjoyed turning the sidewalk into a garden.

Ps Hey Ulla would like to see the picture you and Jenny did in NZ.
Could you please post it here. Heard it was a beauty!
