Deeply grateful to editors of The Australian Fabian Review # 6, 2024 for featuring my four 2010 paintings & extract from my blog post last year about the provenance of wars in Gaza. Their cover art is very clear: “Stop Killing Children”.

I have new artwork in the most recent Issue 5 of The Australian Fabians Review 2023. Their editor invited me to share my painting ‘Australia a Prophecy’ under their topic of AUKUS in a large issue with many writers expressing themes shared by the Australian wing of the Fabian Society, an international labour movement think tank which has its origins in the UK in 1884.

This canvas is one of 4 images I painted for my visual essay in VALA 5. Written for an international audience, it is a comparative reflection on William Blake's rather complex 1790s poem ‘The Marriage of Heaven and Hell’ and the ‘UK Defence Doctrine 2022’ (UKDD), together with some philosophical classics which together create an alternate lens on new capabilities amidst current global, geopolitical tensions in both Europe and the Indo-Pacific of 2023…I hope it makes a positive contribution at a very challenging time for us all.

A wonderful new anthology I'm proud to be part of and, honestly, it's so readable and a breath of fresh air in terms of understanding the hidden cultural diversity in LGBT communities

Thank you to RTRFM for inviting me to speak about my exhibition The Assassination of Judy Garland at 464 Smart Space, Perth WA. RTRFM has always been a consistent supporter of my work for many years.
