Tambo

On a recent trip to Central Western Queensland I stopped at the Tambo Tavern for a meal. I recall staying there back when I had an exhibition called Convergence at The Grasslands Gallery and doing a mural to with local youth advertise The Wilderness Way. This time around my sidekick Mac received many pats and did all the talking to line up a commission as he found out some of his cousins live nearby. I worked on the signage from dawn till about 9am each day when the scorching temperatures became too much causing the paint drying on the brush and my shoes melting to the corrugated metal roof.

There are a bunch more photos to accompany this post but tech issues remain unresolved.

Aramac

It has been great to contribute to the brand new Aramac Motors. The shed has been transformed inside and out, decked out with the latest equipment to cater for all mechanical repairs. I had the pleasure of completing several hanpainted signs for the exterior, and a couple of murals. I always feel welcomed and relaxed in Aramac, although there was a deadline to meet, wind, piercing sun and rain I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the new beginnings of Aramac Motors.

I also whipped up some new signs for the local White Bull Roadhouse whilst in the area.

Blackall

Over many weeks in the studio and on location in outback Queensland I designed, painted and installed five large signs for the fabulous Acacia Motor Inn, Blackall.
