Last week we had a great day painting this fun wall in Downtown LA as a part of the LA Freewalls. We were truly honored to have joined the prestigious lineup which already features the likes of Shepard Fairey, Saber, D*Face, Nomade, Atlas, Asylm and Andy Rios. The LA Freewalls is a special project curated by Lahoda Finearts and Jetset Graffiti. Over 50,000 sq ft of wall has been dedicated to this project making it the largest street art gallery in the world. Jetset Graffiti is putting together a short video of us painting the wall, along with a short interview in our studio which was disturbed briefly by an earthquake! We will make sure we post the video as soon as its ready!!!
I have finally finished this new print for nice produce after many months working on it. i ended up cropping a large section on the left hand side of the image as i felt the composition had gotten stupidly cluttered (more so then usual). as is, i think the layout works nicely. theres alot of secret little characters as usual, getting up to no good, and some of them have been blown up from 1/4 of their apparent resolution, meaning they are extra pixelly.. (which is a good thing). there is also a character named Ranzurq Alperthaux hidden in the piece. he is a half rabbit half cat half human all killing machine assassin from the planet yaboochi. anyone who finds him will receive a free yearly membership to my fanclub!
The last 2 months I have been secretly working away on a collection of paintings. Im now to proud to announce my next solo exhibition at 19Karen Gallery in the Goldcoast. My collection is called “Outside Infinity”
I have always been intrigued with the Buddhist belief of reincarnation and the continuation of your soul in another lifetime. The concept behind ‘Outside Infinity’ explores the notion of the infinite abyss known as the universe, contrasted with the fragility of our life. In the fabric of time, our existence would be compared to a speck of dust. Not even. My core focus is to portray the journey of the conscious human life and the subconscious connection with elements such as fate, time, the dream-world and reality. I like the idea that your soul could actually be made up of many different lives that connected throughout the ages. The dream world could be your existence in a parallel universe, and vice versa. Although this exhibition is a personal journey of my core beliefs, I have intentionally left doors wide open for the viewer’s interpretation and personal reflection on their own life. Does everything happen for a reason? How long does forever last for? How many lifetimes have I seen? Was I at the beginning? I think so. We all were.

I think Gothic Futurism is best described as the Kabbalah of graffiti, the esoteric assignment of defensive, offensive and metaphysical elements to letters within a composition theorized by the brilliantly abstract mind and popularized by the equally charismatic spirit of one late Ramallzee. Who passed away yesterday. This is a good opportunity for everyone to read up on him and his work. Thanks Kano for introducing me to his work so many years ago.
Was reminded of the the remarkably beautiful work of Shinichi Maruyama today. Shinichi was born 1968 in the Nagano Japan and currently resides in NYC.
Recreating the implied movement and use of space found in Japanese calligraphy, by freezing the movement of actual streams of water, flicked with a giant brush through high speed photography with the following results.
Ari Marcopoulos present “No Way Back”, a short film representing the vision of Yves Saint Laurent Creative Director Stefano Pilati’s 2011 Spring/Summer collection.
The short film focuses on influential tattoo artist Mark Mahoney and his Hollywood institution, the Shamrock Social Club.
Studio Ghibli’s trailer for it’s debut into the realm of RPG’s, The Another World on ps3. A combination of cell shaded 3d gameplay and classic Ghibli whimsy.
A lot of the time when we explain to people what we do and how we work they say...
"Man..you work together, and you are a couple! I'd end up killing my girlfriend/boyfriend if we collaborated on everything we did!"
I guess we are pretty lucky...two peas in a pod!
Two crazy, work-a-holic, mad dorks in a pod!
After years of living, painting walls and working together we have only become closer, stronger and even more in sync. Every day we wake up, paint all day...and keep each other entertained with constant chatter and stupid jokes.
Who could ask for more out of life!!
We are both originally from Melbourne Australia, but have been living and working in LA, soaking up the sun and chaos that surrounds us.
