a photo of me with the work (2008)
Lambert Barker's son Jack Barker with the work "The Last Train Home"
Last year I donated one of my works "The Last Train Home".
Extraordinarily....
I received a phone call from my Mother today (Anzac Day) to tell me that there was an article published in the The Advertiser titled:
Brothers in arms at Neath Hotel on the 22/04/2009
thanks Mum as I certainly wouldn't have been aware of the article otherwise!!!

Many congrats on this awesomeness Kim, well deserved.
Kim, that is so awesome! Justly deserved recognition for one fine portrait. The size is amazing. It is neat seeing you beside it, it gives the painting even more meaning. Bravo for you Kim, you are such a great artist. Your design and the draftsmanship are superb.
hi kim, we are about to go sleep :)
good news my dear got the job offer
but need to get the offer letter to read first
sad news is that the holiday in july might not able to go as we already bought the flight tickets and cannot get refund. :(
I hope to lose more weight :P
thanks very much Cooper :)
thank you Boyd...
it probably would be my largest group portrait apart from the murals of course :)
that's great news about the job TH :)
that's a shame about your tickets though :(
This is great, you were also recognized when they gave recognition to this art. The painting is truly amazing.
Congrats Kim - you really deserve this - you know I'm a great fan of your work!
Happy Weekend :-)
Beautiful Pic :-)
