The final Photobomb event at the Corner Gallery in Subiaco was a massive one and a great big step out of my comfort zone as an artist. Featuring artists; Dave the Robot, Luvieur, Robert Jenkins, Shlives, Ian Mutch, Steve Browne and of course myself DoodlesinTransit!
Each artist was given a Photograph from one of the following photographers; Alex Kidd, Mike Daisy, Chris Gurney, Sam Bloor and Blair Gauld. Then during appx 3hrs each artist could add there creativity on top whilst gallery guests bid on each piece.
I managed to select a great photo from Blair Gauld of a cyclist carrying a US flag whilst riding along Santa Monica Beach. I wanted to really exaggerate the Americana vibes here, what iconography could I use to represent The United States ? Hmmm how about one of the biggest exports for the US…MacDonalds!
Usually when I paint I don’t have an audience, and some live bands playing or a 3hr time limit so this was a real test for me but it was an awesome experience that I’m really grateful for, on top of that I got to paint alongside some other Perth artists that I really admire.
Big thankyou to Alex from the Corner Gallery for the experience and the highest bidder on the night Donna (pictured below) part proceeds from this piece went to my charity of choice Beyond Blue.
