I've used this old drawing called 'Candle Gaze' (originally done for Lungs Ofsun demo cover) and printed it onto a T-Shirt. I think it's turned out quite well. Is wearing shirts displaying your own artwork a bit pretentious do you think?
Paneye began in late 2008, proceeding Lungs Ofsun.
Paneye was originally taken from a song I wrote in 2007 called 'Pan Eye', and used as the title of a short stop-motion film. After 'Paneye' was well received at the Sydney Underground Film festival, I decided I liked the name and used it to replace Lungs Ofsun.
'Paneye' means to stare into a frozen pond.
Originally though, the song itself was about a really strange guy called James who I once worked with.
James would often tell me about his pet dog, who he would claim possessed naturally blue hair. James' Pan Eye refers to the different way he saw life.
Will is my name and I write and record music as Paneye and draw illustrations.
I once dreamed of a community of people, deep in a forest, that were all made of butter. These people only survived until spring, when they would melt into a creamy pond. Autumn hardened the pond and new butter people would stir and crawl out of the cream to start a new life.
