“It’s good, I come in the morning, I prep my canvas, have a cuppa. I think about what I’m going to paint, maybe I’ll do a different one. I like to paint my totems and my family’s totems, I have big mob of totems; kookaburra, dingo, sugar glider. My wife’s totem is goanna, I don’t eat them but some people do. I used to go out fishing with mum and dad, they showed me where to catch bream, long neck turtle and water python. I’m a fresh water man”
