Born Chris O'Doherty, artist, designer and musician, is one of Australia's most successful commercial artists. He is recognized as a Mambo designer, landscape artist and founding member of the award-winning band Mental as Anything. I will analyze three works of art by Reg Mombassa, a songbook called "The Great Australian Songbook", Mental as Anything "Garage" and an iGoogle banner designed by Reg Mombassa. The Great Australian Songbook is a collaborative book with 300 songs Australians. The figure on the cover of the book is one of Reg Mombassa's recurring characters known as "Amp Head". The following statement is the one used by Reg Mombassa to explain his creation: “Recent advances in biotechnology have made amplification obsolete. external for electric guitarists. This man has had a powerful amplifier inserted into his neck and replaced his mouth with a sturdy twelve-inch speaker. No longer will he have to lug a bulky amplifier up endless flights of stairs or hide it under a blanket in the his station wagon to deter thieves" (Mombassa R, 1989, p. 239). This image was painted in 1989 and reflects the image of Reg Mombassa's life. His influence in music (Amp Head), his upbringing (the houses in the background of the photo) and the Mambo look he puts into every part of his work. The focus is first on Amp Head's face, with his two eyes positioned vertically instead of horizontally, and on his mouth which he has transformed into an amplifier. Your eyes move towards his stomach which is a cross between a guitar and his stomach. Then you focus on his legs leading you towards one of the houses in the background. So take the whole picture into consideration. In this image, you can definitely see its influence from artists like El Greco and Bosch, with the messiness and 2D nature of the images. Debuting in 1978, the band Metal as Anything was formed on the whim of a group of bored art students looking for free drinks. The band consists of Reg Mombassa (Chris O'Doherty) on guitar and vocals, his brother Peter O'Doherty on bass, Martin Plaza on lead guitar, Andrew “Greedy” Smith on keyboard and Wayne Delisle on drums.
