Clint Eastwood , as Dirty Harry , lets his 44 Magnum “ the most powerful handgun in the world ” do his talking .
Danny Eastwood ’ s right hand – and left hand for that matter – do his talking , but not holding onto a pistol but with paintbrushes , pencils - in fact anything with which he can create his magnificent art .
And magnificent it is – just have a gander at the two accompanying photographs !
The 78-year-old , a proud descendant of the Ngemba Aboriginal tribe way out in western New South Wales , is world renowned as a creative genius . Danny , who resides at his Mt Druitt home of 43 years with “ the love of my life ”, wife , Pam , is a painter , sculptor , wood carver , teacher , mentor and , using my old mum ’ s apt description of a decent and kindly human being , “ he ’ s a real nice man ”.
Danny ’ s creations on canvas , walls , floors , trees and at the potter ’ s bench have won acclaim – and sales – throughout Australia and further afield .
Much further afield in fact , with his works proudly on display in homes , offices and museums in England , Germany , Spain , Argentina , Portugal , China and Vietnam .
In this country , Danny ’ s art is displayed in homes , offices , hospitals , council chambers , museums , art galleries , parks and on street-scapes .
Also on cups , watches , ornaments , T-shirts , jumpers , bikies ’ leather jackets and even on 400 Coca-Cola bottles which he was commissioned to paint for the monolith company ’ s promotional department .
Danny has contributed thoughtprovoking cartoons - humorous and serious – to the Koori Mail since its inception in 1991 – the newspaper is produced fortnightly and distributed to more than 100,000 readers across the nation .
He ’ s also spent time in the clink at Long Bay , Francis Greenway ( John Morony ), Silverwater and Emu Plains prisons .
Not as a prisoner of course but as at art teacher and mentor to those who had strayed off the rails . Many of whom turned their lives around after learning art and life from their much-admired mentor ! Danny ’ s artistic skills have earned him a plethora of awards down the years including National Aboriginal Artist of the Year , NSW Aboriginal Artist of the Year ( twice ), the NSW Parliament Indigenous Art Prize , NSW NAIDOC Award , the National NAIDOC Aboriginal Artist of the Year , Blacktown Aboriginal
