ABOUT EDWARD BLITNER

Eddie was born in 1961 near the Roper River, Northern Territory, 270 kms southeast of Katherine. He began painting when he was 7 years old, learning from his grandfathers and other elders in the community.

Eddie learnt at an early stage how to blend ochre and apply paint while learning the traditional stories associated with his artwork. He is also an accomplished woodcarver and didgeridoo maker, while other members of his clan taught him how to make flint spear heads and traditional hunting boomerangs.

Eddie’s canvas paintings can be found in galleries throughout Australia. In 1998 Eddie won the Australian Aids Magazine Blue Bell and was a selected entrant of the prestigious National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award, which is the premier indigenous art award in Australia. 

Eddie has lived for periods of time at Katherine, Victoria River, Kununurra, Fitzroy Crossing and Broom and has only recently started painting didgeridoos again after focusing for many years solely on his canvas paintings.
 

 

ABOUT THIS DIDGERIDOO

This didgeridoo has been hand picked for its sound quality and artwork by the Spirit Gallery team on their most recent didgeridoo buying trip to the Top End. It is made from a native Australian Eucalyptus tree that has been hollowed by a termite and then worked on by the maker to turn it into an instrument.

Once cut, the tree or sapling has been allowed to dry, to help minimise and prevent the likelihood of cracks and splits later on. The next process involves stripping the bark, taking further timber off and smoothing and preparing the surface.

In its final stage it has been hand painted by Eddie and sealed with a gloss finish to protect the artwork, allowing it to be used as both a serious instrument and a piece of art.

The mouthpiece is fitted with a pliable beeswax mouthpiece. The beeswax provides the player with a comfortable seal and is also adjustable to different sizes to suit each individual player.

Great affordable genuine full length Aboriginal painted eucalyptus didgeridoo!
