For years I would open my show with a painting of Bono (lead singer of U2) on my spinning canvas. It was definitely my favourite – I love my 80’s music!

These days it’s probably Freddie Mercury – getting the audience versing each other in the lyrics whilst I light him up in fire!  It’s awesome!

I once flew to Singapore to do one painting which took all of 3 minutes. That’s fast! But the fastest was probably at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) where I walked on the pitch at half time of a Sydney Sixers Big Bash game, added some paint to a painting and then lit up the late Shane Warne’s face ( I had already painted it and covered it in fire paper ) infront of about 30,000 people. That was probably a one minute gig (but a bit more in preparation).

Definitely 2015 when I did a show in Hong Kong for about one hundred Chinese businessmen – it was a charity and I was the auction item! I did a good show – they loved the gold glitter reveal of “Buddha” and my painting of the Hong Kong skyline looked really nice and all…. but when they auctioned the two paintings for charity (the charity was employing eye doctors to fix eyesight in rural areas of China – similar to the work the late Fred Hollows used to do) and they got $2.1 million dollars Hong Kong ($350,000 Australian dollars) I realised just how much money and change in the world these funds can make – that’s a lot of eyes fixed! That was definitely a surreal moment.

Playing Oztag, playing piano and keytar (I always wanted to be a rockstar), watching cricket and the NRL and following the mighty Canterbury Bulldogs!  This year is our year! (I’ve said that for the last five).
