Artwork Description

Acrylic on canvas, stretched and ready to hang.

Signed certificate of authenticity.

This is Honey and she called Melbourne Zoo home until 2016.

Honey was always keen for a photo - she'd constantly parade her enclosure and often interact with visitors.

With the help of some reference photos I took in 2013, I completed this 2019 commission in July, within six weeks of the final request. While it's no longer available for purchase, this commissioned painting is presented on Bluethumb as an example of what a commissioned piece can look like, and what's involved in the process.

The commission called fora bear, with a bold background. Through conversation with the buyer, we established that the painting was to be a gift, and we discussed the style/colour preferences of the recipient.

Given this painting was to be shipped abroad, we opted for a smaller canvas, cropping a life-size Honey at the shoulders, however, a larger painting featuring more (or all) of the subject could have been facilitated.

Professional giclée prints were also arranged prior to shipping as the buyer wanted a number of art reproduction prints to be included in the package. These prints were made available to the buyer at a modest fee, and will soon be made available on Bluethumb.

If this piece lights a spark, please follow me as an artist to be notified when prints art uploaded in the coming weeks. Feel free to get in touch with Bluethumb if you'd like to arrange a commission of your own - I'm always open to chats with prospective buyers.

Jack Post stands slouched over slightly while glaring off to the middle distance. His expression sits somewhere between distracted and resentful.

He is dressed as Batman’s Robin, in a typical 1960s camp Robin costume, complete with tights, leather gloves and a long cape.

Smoke fills the bottom of the portrait.Madonna and the Child depicts a young woman, dressed in robes, resembling the Virgin Mary. She is sitting on the ground and her head is illuminated by a circular halo, similar to those seen in religious images of Madonna. Rather than looking over an infant Jesus, this version of the Virgin Mary is gazing over a levitating metallic crib containing Baby Yoda.A young woman sits in a dark shallow space, an intimate setting that draws the viewer's attention exclusively on her.  She faces away from the viewer, but looks back over her left shoulder.

A large ear spacer (or tunnel) is visible in her left earlobe. Her hair is cut very short on one side of her head, and her blonde hair is flipped over the right side of her head.The subject of this black and white artwork is Australian comedian Mark Samual Bonano. Mark is wearing a traditional Italian harlequin clown costume - a skin tight body suit covered in diamond pattern. He is adorned with neck and wrist ruffles. Mark is kneeling on the ground while holding an oversized rose. 

While he first appears to be smiling, closer inspection reveals that his expression appears to mask sadness. He stares forlornly into the middle distance.
