Got a roll of film back from the @gqaustralia Man of the Year Awards. Had such a fun night with a bunch of mob and friends from all over. Huge congrats to all the winners on the night! Especially to my friend @samcorlett and the brother @rekorennie @eddiebettsfoundation proud of you guys! 🖤 Thank you @hermes for dressing me and lending me the best bag ever! And @chopard for the most fitting watch 🖤 And Jake and all the team at GQ for the evening and a great table of people.

Distant Familiarity. ‘M.S.P.T.S’ @chinaheights

I never make prints… but I loved the photograph @alexandercooke_ took of my drop sheet I had painted my first few shows on. ‘Studio artefact’ Giclée on Hahnemühle Museum Etching 350gsm - unframed. Size: 80cm x 60.5cm Available via @chinaheights

Went down Kulin Nation ways and painted this textile for @mobinfashion couple weeks back. Thanks for having me in your space @nathan.mcguire @rhysripper 🖤

@edwardwoodley in the studio @chinaheights for his recent show “cherish” @louisvuitton Brisbane. First roll on the Leica…

Was a crazy feeling pulling this drop sheet out of my studio. I painted my first few shows on top of this fabric. Fallen asleep on it countless times staying in the studio late. Lived some highs, and some definite lows… Felt all the things; and there was marks all over this to show for it. Thanks for taking a photo of it for me @alexandercooke_

My painting ‘SSADO’ for @hotagc Gold Coast Triennial ‘here and now’. Now showing until Feb 2025 I got to drag @ninatreffkorn @chinaheights up to the Gold Coast for the opening night a few weeks back. Such a great evening with all the other incredible artists from the show. Be sure to check it out if you’re on the coast.

Back on the tools the other day @thankstattoosydney I’ll be in and out of the shop doing some tatts over the next few months. Mostly flash. Keep an eye out, or don’t. 🤍 📸 @ninatreffkorn
