Tony is a pig who loves to skate. Tony will never stop skating because she is a SKATER! People tell Tony to hang up the board but Tony says NO! This design would be an ideal gift for anybody who knows the right time to quit is....NEVER!
Tony hasn't stopped skating, he's just resting. Tony will never stop skating because Tony is a SKATER! People tell Tony to hang up the board but Tony says NO! This design would be an ideal gift for anybody who knows the right time to quit is....NEVER!

This humorous design asks the serious and perennial, deep philosophical question: Why is there always carrots in puke? Give this as a gift to any person sick enough to wear it or wear it yourself, if you are into such deep conundrums?
I met this hen at the Royal Easter Show in Sydney Australia. She was so beautiful I asked "may I paint your visage"? She replied "cluck cluck cluck"...which I assumed was a "yes"!

This work was created from one of my hand made woodcut prints and then explored as a digital artwork. I like the combination of traditional and more contemporary means of art making. Its subject is the Buddhist rainbow body phenomenon - Google it!

This design is based on a pig I painted. He lived outside a temple in Bangkok Thailand and was fed very well by the Buddhist monks who were his carers.

This design is a tribute to that true pest of learning: the mature age student. The ones who ask too many questions, do all their assignments on time and don't get drunk the night before finals!

I chanced upon this sleeping Buddhist monk at Siam Central Railway Station. Sneaking up to him I could already see the painting in my minds eye, The butterflies are artistic license and the monkey? He is I ...hence the brush!
I chanced upon this old gent at a bus stop in East Sydney. He was gleaming in the brightness of a Summers morning. Wanting to take a candid shot, I spied his reflection in a window behind me. As luck would have it he yawned at that exact moment and it is this photo I used as inspiration for a large oil painting.

Life on Kythera was tough. It was a subsistence farming life, literally hand to mouth, but it must have been healthy. This image is of my great grandparents. George Comninos lived till he was 103 and his wife Maria was 107 when she called it quits. They built them tough back then!
Part of a series of designs inspired by my children's picture book "The City Zoo" (available on Amazon). The animals all get jobs that suit their bodily attributes. In this instance gorillas playing Rugby! Kids love stories and this design celebrates reading and the love of books.

This shirt is a funky, psychedelic, 60's inspired, picture and word puzzle. When solved it reads as "I study engineering". If you or somebody you love is into engineering, then this is a shirt they must own.
I sketched this bird in Chinatown Sydney Australia. The store owner was most fascinated at my interest in his dead birds....so interested he chased me away with a meat cleaver!
This picture book inspired design, shows how the animals of The City Zoo raise money to save their home (book of this title by me and available on Amazon). This series is devoted to increasing a love of reading and books for young children,
Pleasure and pain, beauty and ugliness are all part of the duality known as Samsara. This design is based on an original oil painting by me, of this very beautiful black stallion. I had a cosmic connection with him whilst at the Royal Easter Show Sydney.
