Today about a dozen or so artists hit up the back section of Hosier lane in Melbourne to do a wall in protest of the BP oil spill. There were some of the familiar suspects from the scene including HaHa, Civil and Mags(from brisvegas) among others. It was a pretty cool day with everyone helping each other out and working well together to link in a whole bunch of diverse styles and create a bit of unity surrounding this important issue.
Below the hive of activity:
I think this piece was my favorite for the day. It kind of sumed up the overall message in a light hearted way. I have a few process shots so you can see it coming together.
This work was also pretty rocking, and a massive stencil The text is a little burried in the image but it says ‘ Cars suck ‘, and hopefully it works on a subliminal level. Bikes rule!
Here are a bunch of other shots of the work getting made.
below are a couple of stencils by HAHA:
The crew were still going when i left for the day…so get on down there if you are in the neighbourhood, as its well worth a look at the wall. Those of you who follow my tees may be familiar with these little images. 😉
and this one…
We also helped put up a set of the new Breakdown Press Peace Posters. These are also floating about in Melb for free, so keep your eyes peeled as they are well worth a look.

Here are my new die cut to shape stickers that just arrived. Very happy with the results…they look sweet.
and these pamphlets are my tongue in cheek ‘Dollar a Day – Change an Artists life’ brochures. These will be out and about in the public sphere soon. Although, they may end up in black and white on coloured stock to make them viable as freebies and viable for my hip pocket. So if your looking for a laugh, keep your eyes peeled…
and finally a little stencil of my local just for fun. Enjoy!

My latest statement on BP and their mess. The mess that could have be avoided if the bottom line was not more important than environmental safety. Although, BP are not alone. Thousands of oil spills happen every year and most get little or no media coverage yet do untold damage. Its time to change and move toward the more sustainable and safe alternatives that have been developed such as solar, wind and hydro to name a few.
Stay tuned to see more of this guy!

Here are a couple of new mash up images that i have been playing around with this week. I was thinking of maybe making a few screen prints using these images onto plywood. Not sure though…So at this point these are basically straight digital print mockups.
and up at Hosier Lane Melbourne…

If you go for a wander down Hosier Lane in Melbourne at the moment you may stumble on the new Obey piece to go with the exhibition of his prints upstairs at Until Never Gallery.
and here is another section…
Methinks it looks pretty sweet. Get there before it gets burried in tags. There were a few pieces in the Citylights lightboxes also.
I also stumbled across one of my old stickers.
And this cool David Bowie dog sitting in a classic old car.

Still in it’s bubble wrap…
I just got my painting ‘Viaticus Radix Malus’ or in english, ‘Money is the root of all evil’ back from being framed. I think it looks very sexy. I opted away from my usual plain black minimal and modern looking frame for an ornate gilt or gold frame. I think the irony adds to the strength of the message in the image.

A couple of new designs to express my dismay for BP’s oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This is a terrible disaster! Considering we have the means now to move away from our fossil fuels, and the fact this is going to have a long term impact on the sea life in the area(and a large surrounding area), water quality and beaches and even the people who live off the sea in the area. If you agree with these sentiments, join me in expressing it on your chest…and make sound energy choices to start moving towards a more sustainable future.
Get yours here >>

Here is a little bit of papercraft i made a little while back based on my image ‘ Devil in the Details ‘. I did actually go back and rework this so the ASCI code covered the whole of the model. But i haven’t got around to making another one as yet. Anyway, not sure this has had an outing outside of my mantle piece in the lounge…so i thought i would throw it up here. Enjoy!

About a month or so back, Blek was in Old Melbourne town for an exhibition. I’m pretty sure this is a street piece he left behind as a gift to adourn the walls of melbourne (In Hosier Lane). The Ned Kelly stencils on the left are by Ha Ha. For the same medium, its quite a contrast of styles! Anywho, just something i came across in my wanderings.
For those who don’t know Blek le Rat, he was doing stencils before Banksy.

I have been a bit quiet on here of late, due to being a bit busy with various things…plus, it has been getting awfully cold outside in the studio while painting. But here are a few paintings I have been working on. For something novel, the top two paintings have parts that were painted in glow in the dark paint!
