Peeping Tom

Miss me? Peter and I have been building our port folio of our work together for a Melbourne exhibition. Hopefully, the pictures that are already released lure your curiosity into coming to see the rest of exhibition.

I’m not sure if it is to anybody else’s humor but I found a peeping Tom in the park when we were shooting on the park bench. It was like playing the game, “Where’s Waldo” but Waldo is perverted. I watched as he hid uncomfortably behind bushes and crawled through terrace as a solider would in marsh. I was a little impressed in his efforts I have to say, especially for somebody who looked like an older gentleman.

When Peter and I started to pack up I heard the Waldo carelessly drop from the tree and scamper off somewhere, tripping a few times on the way.

The Assembly of Character

Writer, Emily Steckly and I have started work one of her next pieces. She is working on a literary portrait based on me. I am very excited though at the same time a little anxious. Having somebody paint or write about you is always a little dwelling because you see how another person views you and which aspects of ‘you’ most stand out.

Two days after the closing night of ‘Noises Off’ I traveled abroad to Europe and will be based here over the next few weeks. Before leaving Peter Coulson and I started on the first photograph of our next series and though the photograph has been released it is still unfinished.

Noises Off

Unfortunately because of the rioting in the Ukraine Peter and I had to postpone our travels for the exhibition. It isn’t all horrible news though because when we do eventually travel we will be able to add Paris to the list!

I am also very excited to say I was cast as, Brook in the comedy, Noises Of  By Michael Frayn. There is a small chance it may also have to be put on later on in the year because of some complications, but regardless I am excited! If the play is able to go on sooner it should be put on in April sometime.

On April 5^th I will also be performing at KADO : The Lost Island of Lesbos.

Europe

On the 27th of February Peter and I will be travelling to the Ukraine for one of his exhibitions. After Ukraine we will be staying in London to do a few photo shoots. I am interested in finding some locations in both countries for Peter and I to shoot in. I would love anybody’s recommendations.

I am also working on a film with Billy-Minshull Gardner and Pete Grayson which will be shot between the 20th-22nd of February in time for my travels.

Below are two photographs taken by Peter Coulson. The painting is an art piece by Nathalie Rattner based on a photograph Jessica Eisner took of me. She is a talented artist who resides in both California and Canada.

Happy New Year

I wish everybody a wonderful new year.

I found some pictures I should have kept secret that Peter took a little while ago. I don’t think we will ever use any of the pictures from the series for anything so I was allowed to put up a few of the candids.

Myself and a bunch of other people also recently worked for Focal Point. We filmed an interesting little number which will come out hopefully sooner then later.

Elephion

An elephant and a lion suffered a dispute one night, 

They both stayed loyal to their mottoes that fight, 

An eye for an eye, an arm for an arm, a tail for a tail and a nail for a nail,

 The end of the fight would have left a grown man pale,

or possibly sent them mentally right off the rail! 

The end result was more than sublime, 

The thing left standing, was a confused, Elephion.’

Pretty in Pink, But She Can’t Think!

My head is swollen,
It’s full off emptiness you see,
A draft blows through it,
sending shudders to my feet

Below are some photographs Peter Coulson and I shot before I left for L.A He will be traveling to Hollywood early next year for work. I will also be shooting with him during his stay. In the mean time I am on the pursuit to perfecting the art of performance.

Newspaper Interview

Life plays many tricks on you. Occasionally you can step out and watch from a distance. These are the moments where you truly appreciate life. Then before you know it you get caught up in it’s tricks again.

Enzo Ficco and I were interviewed and photographed for the MX newspaper advertising our act for the upcoming Gangsters Ball! We were interviewed by a gentleman named, Simon Eales and he was a pleasure to talk to. The photographs were taken in the ally way next to the Forum theater with a Rolls Royce! This may also be the car that Enzo and I would be arriving in on the night.

The Ball will be held at the Forum Theater on the 8th of September. Enzo and I are doing two silent magic segments derived from the “Al Cappuccino” performance.

A Day on Film

There is so much ugliness in the world. But remember there is just as much beauty as there is ugliness! So keep smiling because there is so much to smile for and the ugliness just isn’t worth a frown!

All super 8 stills were taken by Cable Williams

Recorded Thoughts

Tony Ferreri has filmed some more footage with me. It will be similar to the first Test Shoot we did except this one may have some voice recordings over the top. These are things I have recorded throughout my day when thoughts have stirred me.

Enzo Ficco and I will also be performing at the Gangsters Ball this year.

Artists are great attention seekers.
