Here is some cool footage from redbubble’s Mr Baxter of the digital printer/production floor and one of my Raven tees being manufactured. The design is obviously inspired by the Edgar Allan Poe poem of the same name…and if you didn’t know already Ravens are the new image of choice for your tee in 2010.
BTW, this is the first ever RB back print. Enjoy!
Special Thanks to Mr Baxter for this vid.

Each of the four paintings are 60 x60 cms. (Total: 120 x 120 cms)

Here is my new Generic Engineering (Custom Zebra) T-Shirt that i just got back this week. If i do say so myself it looks stunning in the flesh and I can tell it will both turn heads and start conversations. Big props to Redbubble for their quality products as this is as good as any tee i have owned. And the turn around time was only about a week so I couldn’t ask for anything more really.

This is my latest artwork i’m struggling with. Not sure what to do with it, or where this may end up going.

Just picked up a copy of the latest issue of Nett Magazine. It has an article on co-founder of the Redbubble site Martin Hosking. They used a few images from some of the designers off the site for the layout, which i think actually looks pretty slick for a business type magazine. I was happy to see both my Environmental Footprint and my Roadmap to Peace get an outing.

Some more dead spraycans being recycled to be placed back into the urban environment. I kind of like the idea that they will probably be nicked and end up adourning a fireplace mantle in a share house.

Here is a quick piccy of my ‘Roadmap to Peace’ all framed up. I think it looks pretty sexy.

Just dropped in and saw the new Ron Mueck exhibition at the National Gallery of Victoria (Melbourne). It was really quite an amazing experience, and most certainly well worth the visit if you are in town. Oversized hyperrealism sculptures are not the sort of art you get to see everyday. Catch it while its on.

T-Shirts the Old Skool way…
Here is the documentation shots from a recent workshop i was asked to do at a local community centre in my hometown. We were making T-Shirts using spray cans, stencils and markers. Overall, I think there were some excellent results and all involved had a great day.

A couple of darker artworks. Inspired by the build up of textures on the surfaces of walls in the city. Bill posters, graffiti, mould and pollution were the inspiration behind these ones.

My new books just arrived this week, and saw their first outing at the Festival of the Photocopier – Zine Fair. They were well recieved and a I moved a few copies which was exciting. The zine fair originally planned for the City Square was shifted underground to the Degraves Underpass on Flinders Street due to Melbournes unpredictable weather. Weather and relocating issues aside, we still saw a full house in terms of crowds which was great, and there was a really good vibe for the event.

Ctrl+Alt+Del my sins
Well as you can see this one is still wet on the floor of the Studio. Another paster on canvas. In fact this image was made as a joke to email to a friend ages back…then i found it again and thought ” I actually like this!”. So here it is as a painting now. It’s also available here as a dodgy lo-fi print edition >>

Here are a couple of new works that i have been doing over the weekend. They are kind of just paste ups of my computer based work on canvas…hopefully keeping the street aesthetic alive.
Everywhere CCTV – Mixed Media on Canvas (25 x 30 cms)
Soldier of Misfortune – Mixed Media on Canvas (30 x 30 cms)
And while on the SoMF image above, I am thinking it might make a nice image for a hand sprayed screen print edition?!
