Sidewayz 2011.....

I am part of the Sidewayz charity art auction/exhibition opening this Saturday night, with a huge lineup of talent leaving their marks on skate decks and snowboards with all proceeds going to the Christchurch and Japan Earthquake benefits. I was stoked to be given a snowboard...you'll have to wait to opening night to see what I made of it, all I'm gonna say I was a tad nervous chopping into the board with the old angle grinder! If you can't make it along to the show I'm sure there will be plenty of pics circulating post event and also there will be an online auction too. I will post deets when they come to hand ok.

19XX.....

So here is my piece "19XX" that featured in the FanBoy vs. ArtBoy show recently. It is inspired by the classic WW2 "shoot 'em up" series 19XX released by Capcom – which included the games 1942 (1984), 1943-The Battle Of Midway (1987),1943 Kai-Midway Kaisen (1988), 1941-Counter Attack (1990), 19XX-The War Against Destiny (1995) and 1944-The Loop Master (2000).

I am told the opening night was awesome with many punters commenting on how diverse all the artist representations were of their video game inspired art. Some other great news to also arise from the show is this week the ABC2 program Good Game dropped into ArtBoy Gallery to film the show! So there will be an upcoming feature on the popular gaming show...more deets soon. For now you can see more snaps of my sculpture here.

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!.....
