So I leave for the States in a few days, pretty exciting, hopefully I’ll be doing some pasting while I’m over there!
Here’s a thing I did for a Geelong band ‘The Infants’
Here’s a tattoo design I made for my brother
I bought a tattoo machine a little while ago, I haven’t been ballsy enough to tattoo any real people yet, just inanimate objects. Still got lots of research and practice to go but this is some mucking around I’ve done
Some festive Christmas cards I made for people I like
Are going to be all the rage, especially in the neck decoration department. This is a new necklace design, with a bunch more to follow hopefully
This is a design for a T shirt I recently finished. Took me a while but I got there, keep your eeeeeyyyyyyyyyyeeeesssss peeeeeeeellled
This is a flyer I designed for a friends band. Ill most likely turn the image into a pasteup
I think that after the copious amounts of extra time I spent on this ‘new and improved’ version…I might prefer the simpler one.
Goddamn
Been through a hugely lazy patch lately.
This seems to have been saved by a new source of motivation, I’ve been doing paste-ups of large (A0) photocopies of my drawings with some friends. ITS REALLY FUN! This is an idea I’ve been working on late this evening but have to stop because I need to go to bed in order to wake up in time for work in the morning. I’M EXCITED TO FINISH THOUGH. FIIIIINNNNNAAAAAALLLLLY! Imagine that on your local building wall. YES!
Ha! Tonight I was feeling a bit wreckless and after getting home pretty late decided a bit of graffiti experimentation was just the pickmeup I deserved.
So I was not toooo enthusiastic about putting this up cause its not too impressive, but its my first attempt at ‘street art’ and supposed that it was worth a post for that reason. I feel bad about ruining buildings with novice spraywork but hey! You gotta start somewhere. It’s just too bad that it didn’t pick-me-up as much as I’d hoped…and it wasn’t as thrilling as I’d hoped too. ILL STOP WHINING NOW OK.
After the ol’ exhibition at Somewhere finished I started fretting about all these left over drawings ide have and what I was going to do with them, I considered just hanging them up on buildings and in odd places and leave them for people to take/destroy, but I wound up getting a better offer!
All the dregs of the first show are having a cheeky second show at the Blackcat in fitzroy! (which is where I work…) Hooray Hooruh! So go and check it out and buy shit and drink cider and beer and coffee and all dat jazzy fun stuff.
I cant believe that it has almost been a whole bloomin year! I started designing some necklace shapes and very very slowly gathered materials and methods to make some necklaces…this was ages ago, as in, November 2009. Anyway these are the fruits of my labour, and I’ve now run outta stock and need to repeat the whole thing awl over again, except maybe I’ll be extra good and come up with some new ones.
Is a total babe, and a cool dude, and a fun guy, and no longer lives around the corner, and a maker of tattoos, and lives above a 24 HOUR PIZZA AND GELATI SHOP NOW!
She’s a mysterious young thing who prefers to remain anonymous..which I find unbelievably irresistible, and anyone who wishes to abuse her talents should definitely contact me so I can hook y’all up)
She just finished a course in tattooing “and I was her first”.
I write in my journal the same thing everyday “Dear Diary, I’m in love, I’m a 19 year old who has found true love for the first time, in a tattoo on my forearm. Life is blisssssss”
Its a picture of a set of teeth incase ya’ll didnt realise, I created a very similar design for some necklaces I made ages ago, and this has said lady’s spin awn it.
FIRST TATTOO ON HUMAN FLESH! IMAGINE HOW HER TALENTS HAVE PROGRESSED BY NOOOOOWWWWW
Book now. (We’ve also talked about doing some collaborative stuff too so if you like our collective style then you’re in for a treat.)
