It’s an older one (almost a year even), but I stumbled across the photo today and figured that it needed to come out of the shadows…

If I had more time available, maybe it wouldn’t take me 7 months to complete a painting… Still! On to the next one!
No skulls, but it’s Four Square, man.

He’s a convenience type store logo in New Zealand – made famous by NZ artist Dick Frizzel. Not trying to riff of of him – just playing around with some colours…
Another bit of 8 Bit. And some Supeedo Raisuru.

Trying some more stuff with colours. The roundrels are inspired by Miyazaki’s Porco Rosso. Every time we watched it (my wee lad is a huge fan – so we’ve watched it many times) I was planning what colours to paint my roundrels. Now I’m happy. More or less. And if anyone were to shout “Show us yer roundrels!!” at me – I could! Mmmmmm… Roundrels…
I finished something. And started something. And here’s something by someone else.

Have been working on a few exercises in colour – need to get ’em finished before I start on a new body of work that I’m quite excited about.
Heres on that I finished a week or so ago:
I also started instantgramming https://www.instagram.com/kiramekisan/ . Very exciting.
Was also excited (easy there!) by this http://www.speedhunters.com/2015/12/silver-rest-vw-type2-panel-van/ – always like Dino’s stuff, unlike some of the other speedhunters (the whiney ones specifically), but this article also touches on some social issues in Japan that echo my thoughts from living there and marrying into the madness…
Bunch of bloody clowns…

Or one, at least. But no blood. Wondered how that clown would look if I piled it in with a bunch of other stuff

First painting in a year…
The stripes on the right are inspired by Jeff Koons’ BMW M3 GTR Art Car that ran at Le Mans in the GT2 class this year. I didnt really think about it at the time, but now the juxtaposition of Mr Sparkle (I am the Harsh Nemesis of all that is Unclean!!!) and BaikinMan (baikin being germ in Japanese) now strikes me as right nice.
Of Doom!!!
It’s been a while…

Been a bit busy hanging out with a young feller who is about to start walkin’ soon. So, being a dad who plans ahead, went shoe shopping…
There’s much more to share – my WTP cruiser purchase from W-Base in Shibuya (had to ride the thing 40km home to Machida, but couldnt sit down & pedal due to the miniscule seatpost, so stood up the whole way after not having ridden a BMX bike for 15 years), more Group C & Nismo goodness from KN’s Factory, a wrap up of my time at Fukushima San’s Grand Slam Pro, some more painting & stickerings and probably more guff.
Hope youve been well!
