Shark - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm
A fish that demands some respect, so I don't eat them. I just leave them alone. Only if you're unlucky will they eat you, but statistically that's pretty unlikely to happen. You have more chance of being killed by an explosion in a fireworks factory than being eaten alive by a shark. This one's a Mako. A fast, deep water fish that's always hungry.
Ant with Milk Bottle - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm
Every Australian knows what a Milk Bottle is. For those of you that don't, it's a soft sweet candy, extruded and molded into the shape of a milk bottle. It's texture is glutinous smooth and thick, like condensed milk from the tube, only much slower. Full of milky goodness. I once saw an ant trying to carry off a milk bottle candy. It was pathetic. It must have weighed about 100 times its weight and was all sticky and glued to the pavement. Yet the ant persisted, like a stupid little tiny machine.
Ant in Bubblegum - Acrylic on Canvas 120cm x 90cm
Ants pick up anything they can carry. This one thought he was clever attempting to bring a blob of bubblegum back to the nest. The more he tried to get in position to lift it, the more he became entombed in a sticky pink nebulous glob. This is what greed can look like. And, for an ant, this is a horrible death.
