Free Stickers!.....

Honey from the very cool Sweet~Station has asked me to plug these equally very cool new stickers and the best part is they are totally free, shipping and all!...Now go get ya freebie here.

New stuff sneek peek.....

Busy working on new stuff for my solo...decided to re-visit arylics and gouche and suprised myself coz' it's been such a long time since I painted detail like this. My new work is a little removed from previous work but it still will have a definite flow as some older pieces will be included in the exhibition. The art above will be eventually collaged onto a piece that will be a big "mash up" of many different mediums and elements to tell a story, if you wish to read into it that much. I'll try to offer some more sneak peeks as the work progresses, keep ya posted ok!

Skulls,treasures,no pirates (sorry).....

Spent a drizzly old day in and around Surry Hills/Paddington today, dropped by the Skull_Duggery show @ blank_space coz' I was unable to make the opening on Thursday. I was told it was jam packed and a great night, the art looks amazing. Above is a couple of pics of my pieces in the show and below some little street treasures found throughout the day. The last pic my wife thought was hilarious coz' she said it looks just like me..."a big round head and hairy"!

^spotted this fella recently in the area and had a chat infact (Mr Lister that is,not Porky Pig).....


^my son Liam actually discovered these treasures, he has a good eye for street art!.....

^apparently no need to get a passport photo now!

Veronica, Veronica, Veronica.....

I peruse Juxtapoz.com on quite a regular basis and as you would expect the standard of work, no matter the genre is absolutely amazing...this piece above "Dr Grood" by Veronica Hebardof, found at above mentioned site, is of no exception. Don't know why but it sure yanks on my retinal chords, so much so I wanted to share it with you all. Go here to see more of her brilliant work...

More brilliance from Banksy.....

Damn I wish I was in Bristol!

Skull_Duggery.....

I'll have 4 fresh pieces in the this upcoming groupshow, opening night is Thursday 18th June 6-8PM, more info here.

Aussie Freshness.....

Got me another plug, much the same as the recent one at Sweet~Station and in terms of quality it's right up there too, but what makes this blog soooo special is that the creative content is 100% from Australia.....or as Daniel Hadiwibawa, the man behind it, would say "total freshness from Aus". So get on over and have a squizz at the freshly squeezed the Grafik Museum.

Hairy in Japan.....

Check out this weird-arse ad, only out of Japan!


.....this clip found via Lost at E Minor, thanks Zolton. To see more quirky, Japanese weird-arseness go to Japanator.

mmmMeggs.....

This fella is my new fave graff/street artist (if I ever had an old one?), label him what you will, his work spans various mediums and infiltrates lanes, streets and even gallery spaces all over the globe. His art is like a vivid, explosive flashback to my childhood Saturday mornings spent watching the "box" and to use colloquially specific jargon...his stuff is "DOPE". You can see more of Meggs here. enjoy.

btw.....

.....oh, by the way, I got a plug on below mentioned SWEET~STATION! Go here to check it out. Thanks to Honey!

Eye Candy.....

Really bin sinkin' my eyeballs into this art blog of late, click here to have a sugary geezer!

Golden.....

Stumbled across this Arcade Fire featuring David Bowie clip today via Monster Children...just gold...and I gotta say I really dig that "no cars" tune too. I think it's time to go to the record store!

Oh shit.....

It's all official...my long overdue debut solo show has been locked in @ China Heights. Ok it's not until October 9, but we all know how fast the months fly by, so the plan is to pace myself. I have already started working towards it and although the exhibition will feature some old works I will be showcasing a fresh body of paintings and sculptures.

Oldskool Charm.....

Found a nice antique frame at a garage sale for a coupla bucks and thought it lent itself to our Micheal Hsiung print —"Portrait of Merman and his illegitimate Child?", with it's old-world charm & all (I think Merman's dapper bow-tie & eyeglass are the attributors to that charm!). I cleaned up the frame and along with the print dropped it down to the old chap at the local framing shop. Below is the result, very happy indeed!

Sculpture in General.....

I have been asked to feature some of my sculpture work (through the bubble initiative) at the General Pants Co. headquarters in Sydney for Media Days next week, a showcase of their Summer 09/10 clothing range. Unfortunately it is an industry only gig and not open to the general public, but the opportunity to have my work showcased is fantastic nonetheless. A big cheers go's out to Aly from General Pants Co.!!!
