The Brad Blaze “Wow Factor” Blog!

Some photos from a performance I did for 600 sponsors and fans from the Melbourne Storm last week.

The great aspect about my shows, which few (if any!) other entertainment shows can replicate, is something tangible is produced from the performance.   Something of value.

During the past year, I’ve been donating and encouraging all my corporate clients to auction off my artwork for charity where it is appropriate.  It feels great to entertain an audience and also make money for some special causes.

Which is why I was delighted last week at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, where a corporate client auctioned off some of the paintings from the show and raised $14,000.   It is certainly not the most we’ve raised from my paintings, but this was a corporate show (not a fundraiser),  so to come away with such a good result was fantastic.

Here is where I am headed until the end of the month.

11 November - National Portrait Gallery for IBM
13 November - Ronald McDonald House Charity Event, Sydney
13 November - Support Act for 1927, State Theatre, Sydney
13 November - National Print Awards, Sydney
14/15 November - Corporate Event, Gabba, Queensland
20 November - Corporate Event, Sydney Aquarium
21/22 November - Corporate Event, Mining Show Queensland
24 November - Variety Club Fundraiser, Sydney
27 November - Corporate Event, Melbourne

So I’m in Australia until the end of the month which is great… before taking on some international shows in the following months..

Here are some video still images from the BMW Z4 launch in Melbourne last weekend.

I speed painted my way through 3 different angles of the car - all in under 4 minutes each car and used some theatrics during the show - fire revealed the trademark BMW grill and tyres.  Not sure if anyone noticed, but I added my own touch to the number plates.

Oh and I just received this email:

“It was a pleasure to work with you last Saturday.  We were all very pleased with the way everything went and your participation in our launch helped make it a success.”
