Brad Blaze
Brad Blaze may just be the fastest painter in the world. He has enthralled audiences across Australia, Asia, United Arab Emirates and The United States performing at large gala dinners with guests including government ministers, celebrities and the social elite.
At such events he has painted two prime ministers and some of the world’s leading sportsmen ‘live’ at events including Tiger Woods (PGA Masters), Robert Allenby (golf), Sir Ian Botham (cricket), Shane Warne (cricket), James Hird (AFL), Cameron Smith (NRL), Nico Rosberg (Formula 1 Driver) and celebrities Eric Bana (Movie Star: Black Hawk Down, Hulk) and many more, raising over $500,000 in the past year for charity.
Who would have thought.. Brad spent the beginnings of his career working his ‘way up the corporate ladder’ in an international finance company. On his way to and from work on the train he honed his skills quickly sketching other passengers without them knowing. It wasn’t until the year 2000 when he became a caricature artist working at events and having artwork published in magazines and newspapers that he found his calling.
