Perhaps you wouldn't want to meet them in a dark alley, but we're delighted that Joanna Braithwaite's elegant pair of lace monitor lizards will be lending a touch of class to the forecourt bunker as part of the Populate! programme. If they're looking a little smug, it might be because this painting, Lizard Lounge, was recently selected as a finalist in the prestigious 2013 Sir John Sulman Prize at the Art Gallery of New South Wales.

Grab a copy of the latest Bulletin (out now) to read what Joanna has to say about this work and come on down to the Gallery for your herpetological fix.
