Napoleon Wombat appearance
Success...! Napoleon Wombat is about to make his first public appearance. He has been selected to hang with the finalists in the Lethbridge 10,000 Small Art Awards in Brisbane. Ironic that his first appearance is titled.. "contemplating defeat" But that leaves room for a comeback no doubt? Is it a cunning plan to confuse the enemy? Watch out for more of Napoleon Wombat...
Going North...
Just to let the wide world (or at least those who visit this Blog) know that I am "Going Fishing".
Where? Way up North on The Gulf, somewhere east of Borroloola.
When? Leaving Tuesday 14th May 2013 (next week)
How long? About three weeks. Yahoo. Will take my paints and paint a little; fish a little; rest a little; smile a lot and live on Barra and Mud crabs or some such. Sounds tough? Sure does, but I can handle it probably...
Here'a a picture to be going with: I call it "Summer dreaming".. No, not the shark bitten board; the one under that, with the VW...Cheers from me.

Mural at Eumundi; Right side bit
Hi all; I've been absent for a while trying to pretend the computer world doesn't exist. But it does so I guess I'd better use it,huh? Still painting; always will. Still at THE WHARF, MOOLOOLABA, SHOP 34 with the fearless and inspiring Michelle Pike. Come and visit! I am usually there on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and now on Friday nights with the Markets at The Wharf 4.30 till 8.30 PM.I,ve been working on a mural at Eumundi Markets on and off for the past few months; sort of a work-in-progress when I have spare time and it is not raining! Painting a few commissions and surfboards and generally keeping busy being an artist. Still doing relief driving for Buslink when they are short of drivers which has been often recently. I think I know nearly all of the school bus runs now; keeps me on my toes remembering which route I am on and which schools I am going to and from.
Will add a few pics of recent work, hopefully with captions in the correct places. I am a bit rusty with this blogging. Cheers everyone; enjoy your day!

December update 9.12.12
Hi and welcome to my blog; which I am very poor at keeping up to date. My apologies, life gets busy doesn't it...!
Well apart from slowly getting the use of my shoulder back and painting many projects and schoolbus driving every week, I have moved out of the Big Pineapple. Sad to say, The 'Rainbow Cave" is no more. We tried for six months, and had fun and made many friends, but financially it was not a successful place for me.
I have now joined forces with the well-known and talented artist Michelle Pike in a shop in the MOOLOOLABA WHARF PRECINCT.
Just look for us where the SEAL STATUE sits on a bench across from UNDERWATER WORLD. We are open every day except Wednesday from 10AM till 3PM and FRI NIGHT MARKETS from 4pm till 8.30pm. I am in the shop on Tuesdays and Saturdays
Or you can phone me still on 07 54763010 or 0415839184. OR email me briantisdall@hotmail.com

Hi to all; I have been silent too long, my apologies... Life gets busy, don't it?!! Been doing many things, mainly surviving, which is good. Surfboards still being painted, a couple of mural jobs to "pretty up" bins and storeroom doors at Eumundi markets, a painting or two; some for me, some for others. And lots of school bus driving to keep the bank account happy. Times are a little quiet at present in the art scene, but there is a stirring in the air which bodes well for the future. I can now be found at The Big Pineapple on Nambour Connection road each Saturday while the Growers Market is on ( 6.30am till 1pm) I am in an Artisan Workshop area downstairs inside.. The Pineapple is being renovated and restored! New enthusiastic owners and management team have big plans for it's future, so come and visit and watch it grow, and buy some local art and produce, or join in the workshops too.
Here are some piccies of my recent work: see if I can get the correct captions under the right pic. Cheers everyone...Keep smiling :) Brian. Oh dear, too hard with the captions... you can see what they are I hope?
