BYRON PORTFOLIO
The ‘Byron Portfolio’ was published in 1989 and sprang from my love for the beautiful environment and ecology of the North coast Region. It is something of an historic document now – some things have changed, but also, a lot is still timelessly the same.
The beaches and hinterland are more beautiful and lush, the creeks probably less polluted now that the farming practices have changed.
I designed it as the perfect gift to give to someone who had not been in this part of the world, or an easy to carry souvenir for the visitor.
It originally came with a beautifully designed cardboard sleeve but alas, after thousands of copies sold, I have run out of sleeves!
I do have few copies of the book still available, and I am happy to post them anywhere in the world for just Au$20.00.
More lovely little books of local scenes.
These are collections of some of my different series in small books that I have designed and published with Blurb Books. They come in Hardcover with a dustjacket, Hardcover Image wrap or a Softcover (very light to post!). You just click on ‘Book Preview’ below and go to the site at Blurb to order. This keeps the prices down and saves the planet! At the site, you can look through 10 pages of the book.
This is my ‘Soft Weather’ series with a few extra beachy scenes. All inspired by walks along the beaches around Byron Bay.
“Mullumbimby Laneways’ – my most popular collection! The beautiful, nostalgic country back lanes of your childhood memories.
Sub-tropical rainforests. Extraordinary ecology and amazing forms.
It’s a book of art and also yummy recipes! You can read more about the story of this book on the ‘Produce-d’ page but in the meantime check out this great gift for the foodie/art lover in your life!
My father painted the illustrations for this book before I was born, Originally intended for a projected Christmas slide show, with my father doing the narration and all the funny voices! It’s a lovely simplified version of the Charles Dickens tale. I rescued the folio of original artwork after his death and turned it into this book in loving memory. A unique Christmas book with wonderful old fashioned illustrations.
Prints and Reproductions
Here are two popular reproductions of my watercolours you can purchase to frame. I sign each print. They are printed on heavy stock poster paper. They come in a tube so p&p is added.
By commission I can have these printed on Fine Art Watercolour paper at an extra charge.
Prints are shipped rolled in a sturdy mail container A$50 anywhere in the world.
