TRAFFIC CONTROL BOX

What a year. . . as you can see I have not posted on my blog for ages, I'm not going to give you any excuses, I just really haven't done anything blog worthy for a long time . . . until now that is.

I have recently begun painting a Traffic Control Box. If you live in Brisbane you will know what I am talking about as they are at every set of lights and most of them are already painted by others. Anyone can paint one please check out Urban Smart Projects for more information. http://www.urbansmartprojects.com/

My box is located on the corner of Compton Road and Roosevelt Drive in Stretton. You might be wondering why I decided to paint Rabbits on my box so I will explain. The box I chose is located across from the QLD State Archives, so I looked up their website and searched for anything interesting happening on my birth year. Unfortunatly I couldn't find anything that year, but 100 years before I was born 1878 was when Queensland brought in the Rabbit Nuisance Bill and therefore started fencing off the rabbits. I have named my work "Fenced Rabbits" and when it is finished the bunnies will have a fence in front of them. I will update the photos when it is complete.

Let me know what you think so far.

Oh year and Merry Christmas everyone.
