Coal 

Most people have heard of method acting were an actor plays a roll in  
real life before acting it out on the big screen.

 

Something like this has definitely happed like this with my latest art  
work. For the last few months I’ve been driving a dump truck in the  
Central Queensland Coal fields which is just down the road from  
Yeppoon where I live. The truck I drive weighs about 250 000 kg and  
carries about the same weight. This has definitely inspired my latest  
artwork.

It has been over two years since I have had any real sort of real job and I  
was getting kind of board.  How I went from being a stockbroker to  
truck driver is something even I cannot explain. 



Dump Truck

200cm x 150cm acrylic on canvas

The Dump Truck is part of the Gallery Series. I felt a real strong  
connection with this painting. It helps me understand the concept of thinking big. Total cost is $US 2000 including postage and packaging. 

 

Limited Edition Coal Sculptures

I am currently in the process of making coal sculptures.  I have hand picked some of this coal literally from the coalface. I have looked over millions of tones of coal to get to the very finest pieces. One day Tiffanies will be selling coal instead of diamonds. People should be worshiping coal idols not golden idols. Coal is just absolutely beautiful to look at.

The sculpture consists of 1 Kg of coal. Each sculpture is individually boxed in a signed and numbered clear plastic rectangular box for storage. This series in limited to 100. 

The sculptures will cost $US 200 including postage and handling. Reserve your number today. They are not being sold in any particular order.
