Videos by South Australian artist, writer and video creator, The Extraordinary Tourist (TET). TET's videos feature artwork in progress footage, commentary on art, art business and more. TET is also known for his art comedy sketches and other humorous commentary on life and social issues.
In this episode I make a start on my first artwork and show you a sketch for another planned artwork.
I have a solo exhibition of my art at a local gallery coming up in August 2009. At this point in time I have very little artwork ready to show. This new series of videos will document my progress up to the exhibition's opening. Will I be ready in time?
A couple of short challenges where I draw with a pen as much of a drawing as I can in three minutes. The drawings aren't meant to be great, the point is having the confidence to draw and to not be afraid of showing the results.
Just before Christmas 2008 I tried painting a more real looking cat. This video is the result. Unfortunately the video isn't up to my usual standard. However I've uploaded it anyway otherwise I'd forget and you'd miss me painting in this different style. For those of you that care to read more, I've had lots of technical difficulties with my three main editing programs (including Windows Movie Maker) no longer working as they should and becoming unusable. I used some different editing software that is really awful but at least it works. Hence the bad audio, awkward editing and not being able to show a sped up version of me painting the artwork in full (as I usually would). However if I waited until I sorted all this out I'd never finish this video and you would've missed it. So here it is... with all its flaws.
In the days leading up to the 2008 US elections President Bush tries desperately to reduce casualties in the Iraq war with a radical plan. Made with Goanimate see more of my work at: etourist on GoAnimate http://goanimate.com/go/user/0UIiBVzbsOE4 ----- This animation is the complete 5 part series I created on GoAnimate's platform. The story, editing and a few props are mine, everything else you can use yourself to create your own animations.
Filmed for Art Post (http://www.abc.net.au/tv/artpost/). This is for my recent subscribers who may not be familiar with who I am. Long time subscribers may find it interesting too. Includes the finished cat artwork from recent diary videos.
Ever wonder where some artist's got their inspiration from? Who knows, maybe Andy Warhol ate a lot of soup as a kid?
Watch me as I talk about and create one of my 'Dangerous Career Cat' artworks called, 'The Mouse Catcher'. Although this video was recorded on September 12 and 13 I've only just had the time to edit it all together.

Mobile Office - TET's Studio Video Diary 6 Sep 2008
Occasionally I model for my own photographs. In this photo shoot my goal was to create some generic technology style images for use on one of my web sites. One of the photos taken will be used alongside an article I'm writing about Mobile Computing.

TET's Studio Video Diary - 4 Sept 2008 (Traveling painting)
A quick 'show and tell' studio update to let those interested in The Traveling Painting Project know that I've received it. For the rest of you there's a quick look at my latest artworks.
In this episode I continue working on and talking about the artwork I started on Aug 22 and tell you about where you can buy prints of my art including: Cafepress shop http://www.cafepress.com/etourist Red Bubble http://etourist.redbubble.com/
This is the first of a series of Video Diaries I'll be filming which focus on the creation of various artworks. In this episode I begin a new cat artwork and talk you through my process of transferring a sketch to canvas - in real time.
Watch as I create my latest painting, 'Mother and Kittens', from start to finish, explaining some of the process as I go along.
Part 2 of my painting 'Three Cats Fishing', acrylic on canvas, each panel measures 30 x 40cm. In this episode I show updates from the base coat to the finished artwork.
Watch as I created the artwork 'Tangled Toys' featuring a cat, dog, ball and a toy mouse. Includes my narration about what inspired the work and other information.
Watch as I create the artwork 'Table Mouse' and listen to my narration whilst I work. Table Mouse is available to buy as prints from my web site shop.
I spent a day in Auburn with a camera that was running low on battery. I decided to take a walk along the Riesling trail and this is what I filmed. I found out later that I was correct about the trail having once been a railway.
My sketch book is filled with stories that go beyond just the images. In this video I talk about my artwork, 'Johnny the Butcher', who inspired me to write some song lyrics. Prints of Johnny are available at: http://www.cafepress.com/etourist/5427996
Written and spoken by me this is one part of a conceptual science fiction piece that forms a narrative when seen/read in context. If you would like to follow this concept then visit the project blog at: http://extraordinarytourist.blogspot.com/
