SUPPORT MATERIAL - ARTWORK - for 2019 Ozco grant application 

This is a closed page accessible only to Australia Council assessors given my provision of its URL. The nine artworks it contains are designed to illustrate the progress of my artistic development, and set a trajectory towards the way God's Whore might emerge.

From 'The Wizard of oz':

A series towards a proposed cover for the 2012 book (which was a conventional prose-based non-fiction narrative story): 1/ A line drawing of the main character based on an original photo. 2/ Photoshop treatment of that illustration designed to look like a vintage cigarette card, which was rejected by the publisher. 3/ The eventual cover - and I still think my image is better with its appropriately retro/distressed look!

FROM 'DEADLY WOMAN BLUES':

Following here are just half a dozen of the more than hundred images that make up or made up my pulped 2018 book Deadly Woman Blues. It was one of the number of points about the book that got lost in the firestorm of controversy that surrounded it - that as a graphic history, it was trying to take storytelling generally into a fresh new realm, and make Aboriginal stories more accessible. Certainly it was nonetheless a step along that road for me, and God's Whore will take another step beyond. Please note, these images are supplied in complete confidence and purely for the purpose of supporting my grant application, and must not be downloaded/on-shared.
