Ready, Camera, Action! Welcome Back To The World...
Interview by Melanie Deare
Ckirk’s life reads a bit like a plot to a good cult movie. For more than a decade he rambled across the country consuming legendary amounts of booze, drugs, sex, misadventure and jail food. Yet in 2005 he sobered up, settled down, married and turned his insatiable appetite towards becoming a successful artist. After taking the Dallas art scene by storm, he turned...

Chapter Four: As Studios Go...
By James Baker
As studios go, in the old ‘worldwide world’ of artist’s studios, my current studio in South Melbourne totally rocks.
