THE DRUM LESSON - Geoffrey Stapleton An animated cartoon of a drum teacher and his student. More info at http://www.ganggajang.com/homepage.htm

This painting was the double page centerspread for Andrew Denton's "Enough Rope 2"book (albeit in black and white). It was inspired by his electric interview with Daniel Johns.
It accompanies the interview in the book.

Andrew Denton had this to say about the painting.

" Sometimes feedback takes the most unexpected forms. After the interview with Daniel Johns went to air, artist Geoffrey Stapleton (of GANGgajang fame) was inspired to paint his interpretation of the conversation. "Captain Nobody and his Imaginary Friend". I'm not sure that I could explain how, but he's certainly captured a lot of what it felt like...

I am looking at creating a post

At a friend’s farm just out of Victor Harbour in South Australia there was a mess of old mangled farm equipment. There was something tragic yet heroic about it. It made me think about tenacity, faith and entropy.
I used to love playing with the bright coloured electrical wires and transistors when I was a child. They always remind me of my Dad’s workshop, now long gone.
