See part 2: [link] This is a commissioned piece for Townsville City Council, if you're in Townsville a 3 metre tall version will be up in the new Flinders Central in the coming daysThanks to consecutive mining booms, the only deep water port along the great barrier reef and Tourism, Townsville is one of the fastest growing cities in the country. A lot of people hate on Townsville, I lived here for a couple years and I quite liked it, particularly the tropical climate. With all this growth and wealth coming into the city quite a bit of money is being spent on developing the culture and art scene in the city as well. I have tried to show these aspects in my work.This was a difficult project for a few reasons, firstly the required canvas size. Also Townsville lacks the long and rich history that many of the other cities in other countries I have done in this style in the past have. There is some very interesting architecture going up and a lot of distinctive Queensland architecture, but not a lot that is unique to the city.Thanks to Alan Junior [link] for help collecting imagery of the city.All stock of Townsville and sky imagery by Alan and myself.Underwater Great Barrier Reef imagery used with permission by Michelle Moore: [link] Photoshop and C4D
