Just to prove I am really here at The Armory (Artist in residence) I am posting this photo of my self (with my best Cheshire cat look) green screening or Chroma keying (taking out) the green background from Tracey and Phillip Campbell's music video..Sienna. Its a great music track and the animation has the mythical mermaid story at its heart and features the band, plus mermaid, along with some talented canine actors, set in the cliched but magical flora and fauna of your typical tropical island escape. You can see the delightful and mega talented Musician, Tracey, singing her heart out there in the background. Once all the green is gone I can then have some fun animating it with my collage do dads. It's a bit of a Ben Hur this project but hopefully with the aid of this monastic existence at the Newington Armory its completion will be a reality along with a few other arty things I need to do.

Ok you say, this could be a shed in my back yard or any where really. Then fair enough, I will provide a few more shots to again prove that I am somewhere other than a shed in Western Sydney or the Blue Mountains...
Ok it is a very big shed Somewhere in Sydney's West. But its a nice shed and its historical too! (more about that in the next blog entry or follow this link www.sydneyolympicpark.com.au/Visiting/venues_and_parks/newington_armory
This is my wing with my sole mode of transport parked outside. Think of all the green brownie points I am getting by just being here ! The pearly green gates await...
A view of my work space.
Owls. I cant stop drawing owls. There is a bird watching outfit here open on weekends called Birds Australia. I am aiming to visit them this weekend. Apparently they have an eagle-cam set up to watch the resident White-Bellied Sea Eagle's - Oh when will we get enough reality TV!!!!!

Introducing Adam! Adam is working on making the casts for his set of bronze foundry men. He is working in fibre glass and epoxy resin along with latex to create the supports and casts of his original clay figures. While Adam assures me he is not affected at all by the fumes I for one am not so certian of this...
Some of the atmos at the Armory...
Approaching early evening after a still, hot day in the shed.
