We are posting this picture on behalf of Glenn this month. The above work is from an exhibition currently running at the Ray Hughes Gallery in Sydney.
There are 14 artworks in the exhibition. The blurb below is from Ray Hughes' website. http://www.rayhughesgallery.com/
"Glenn Morgan is a storyteller. His work is vibrantly coloured and lively and celebrates the mundane to the significant, warts and all.
Every work depicts a narrative that he has experienced either directly or indirectly, from a trip to China with Ray and Evan Hughes to the sinking of the Siev X. From his many-detailed paintings to his theatrical crank-handled dioramas, Glenn’s work depicts and encourages social interaction, making his an ‘art to touch’.
Glenn’s work depicts an entire story at once glance, but rewards every new viewing as more is seen each time. Perspective is played with to cram as much detail into the picture field as possible, while his sculptural figures often have more than one face in order for them to be viewed simultaneously from all angles.
Two pieces, a sculpture and a painting, depict Kevin Rudd’s apology speech, dubbed ‘The Great Day Australia Said Sorry’ and continue a theme he began with works dating from the mid-Howard years. The painting is a crowd scene, with many joyous onlookers with speech bubbles portraying the overwhelming positive sentiment.
Three works depict Glenn's travels with Ray and Evan Hughes in March 2007. 'Ray Hughes Art Tours' is a 3D pop-riveted bus complete with happy travellers, while paintings 'Us in Ukraine' and 'Us in China' show bustling car-clogged metropolis. ‘Us in China’ particularly shows a city that has become increasingly familiar in recent weeks with Olympic coverage. Glenn toured Beijing with Catherine Hunter and Bruce Inglis to film a documentary on contemporary Chinese art for ABC TV.
I took this photo at an Aquarium in January 2008, in Japan.
The fish tank was surrounded by thick black curtains to create a dark environment like a darkroom and the jellyfish glow blue in the blue light.
It looked very fantastic and visionary.
Well this Is my fish, I was just doodling a drawing a fish when I took a break started surfing the net and I came across a picture of a pipe, so I decided that wouldn’t it be funny if fish had a periscope to see what we do, we have made scuba gear to look at them….. well thats just me……

I'm pleased to announce that Seamor and Fanny the fish have a new aquarium. These two Illustrator created fish have been around since our Flash workshop a couple of months ago and they demanded to be posted. Seamor (the black one) says that cuttlefish aren't really fish they are mollusks and related to snails and slugs. So Fanny insisted that I post some real fish this time. I've made them a new tank in Photoshop using distortion, filters and drop shadows on images sourced from the web. They seem to really like their new environment so who knows when we might hear the splashes of little fins.

I love fish! There's no way i would miss july's theme.
This image was captured on a digital camera at the fish market in the Philippines last year during my vacation. I use photoshop to apply blur and contrast effect.
Some of the crabs were actually alive that day waiting to be put on a hot pot! 90% of the fish in the market are actually fresh from the sea which gives customers a 100% flavor. If you love fish visit the Philippines :D
Blurb: This is our Multimedia & Design cuttlefish. He/she (we not sure) likes to paint in pixels. The cuttlefish projects images it sees with its big complex eyes onto its body. Kind of like a living plasma screen. In this picture the cuttlefish is projecting the Mac OS X desktop image as it paints the pixels around it. I was just mucking around this time. Not much else to say about it but Andrea wouldn't let me post this without a blurb. BTW there's a fish in my last post too.
