Bendigo artist Simon Rigg and New Zealander Kevin Griffiths, are good friends who both paint by holding the brush in their mouths and have combined their talents, in the latest mid-year range from the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists.
Kevin Griffiths a New Zealand mouth painting artist from Ahipara has a painting called ‘Coastal Poppies’ which has been selected to illustrate a greeting card included in the international range of the Mouth & Foot Painting Artists which is available to a world-wide market.
Bendigo artist Simon Rigg, who is confined to a wheelchair and paints by holding the brush in his mouth, also has a talent for writing and would be praised for his beautiful cursive ‘hand’ if he hadn’t written it by holding the pen in his mouth.
I remember staying in a New South Wales country town a few years ago with a friend who was the local GP. When he faced the prospect of going around the street to pick up the Sunday night fish and chips, he asked me to go into the shop as the proprietor always wanted a free consultation about his bad back.
I sometimes feel like that when I am cornered at a social function with the question ‘How do I start a PR program for my business?’
I read a story this week that the Government is going to slash red tape to get more water infrastructure going, which I think means that they are going to build more dams, which will infuriate the greenies, but please the farmers provided that some of that wet stuff falls from the sky to fill up the aforementioned dams.
