Here is an article from today’s paper

I’ve just received two feedback items from shows last month:

“Brad Blaze as the night’s entertainer did a fantastic job of wowing the crowd with not only his lightning fast speed painting and magical illusions but his ability to get the crowd involved. The resulting paintings (and crowd participation) were the talk of the night.”  MFAA - Home Loan Lender of the Year Awards

“Your unique performance was certainly the highlight of the lunch - guests were captivated by your high energy and talent”.

I like to keep my promo material up to date - here is the 2010 promo video. Most of the footage is from events in 2009.

On Friday I performed at the State Theatre opening for the band 1927*.  About 2000 fans packed the theatre and along with Mike Goldman** we really excited the crowd.  It is difficult to capture the roar of the crowd on video, but here is some amateur footage.

* 1927 is one of Australia’s leading band from the 1980’s.  They achieved 5 x multi platinum sales for their album …ish and spent 4 weeks at #1 on the album charts.  Visit their website at: www.nineteen27.com

* Mike Goldman is a television and radio host known for his work on Big Brother, Meerkat Manor and Friday night live.  He would make an awesome MC for your next event: www.onthemike.com

A client who bought one of my Audrey Hepburn speed paintings wanted another painting to hang next to it…

Earlier this month marked the 60th anniversary of the People’s Republic of China.  I was commissioned for the painting below of Chairman Mao from a fan of my ’speed painting art’ style in Thailand.

And speaking of Thailand, I will be performing a corporate show there in Phuket in January.  It will be my first performance in Thailand, so I am looking forward to it!

I’ve been painting a new “Elvis” lately at events.  I think it rocks.

The old one just doesn’t cut it anymore.  Compare this one (below) to my first Elvis that I painted on Australia’s Got Talent (in 2007) and you will see why.

Last weekend I was in Adelaide for a big footy club gala dinner and I painted mainly sporting icons.

Here is one of the speed paintings of the legendary Don Bradman from the show.  I’m pretty happy with how this one came out - speed painted in about 5 minutes.

This is the show everyone was talking about (and watching) at RSVPevent last week:

This is just a preview.. I’ll put up some other footage soon!
