Life was so much more complicated back then.

Good looking Rone.

I was lucky to catch the tail end of Julian Opie’s portrait exhibition at SCAI in Tokyo. The show featured a series of portraits, walk cycles, subtle animations and holographic prints reflecting a Rambranteque style of portraiture. The essence of which are lost in still photos but i tried my best to capture the animations, thank you Yuka for letting me go nuts with the g10 in the gallery.

Holographic portrait. the pose changes slightly from different angles. Nice effect.
Framed animated walk sequence.

Animated painting, rotoscoped birds flying in the background and occasional eye blinking.

A moment of greatness from the Everfresh Halloween bash.

I got a feeling that more gems like this are going to emerge as people pull themselves out of the hangover induced comas and start looking for memories their phones. Stay tuned.

The LTRHDS (letterheads) exhibition explores the flexibility of the English alphabet in contemporary art by bringing together 26 esteemed artists from different parts of the world and from difference artistic disciplines; graphic, comic, fine, illustration, tattoo, graffiti, asking them to interpret a single letter each to make up an exhibition of the English alphabet.

I don’t know how many of you remember the first letterheads show way back in 06, in a space we opened called Wooden Shadow, my memory of the whole event is hazy, epic party, awesome show, one of the first international gigs by Flying Lotus. 4 years on the 2010 show promises to match the awesomeness in every way.

Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument. To perform this difficult office it is sometimes necessary for him to sacrifice happiness and everything that makes life worth living for the ordinary human being. [Carl Jung]
