The first triptych that I started (have finished several since) around 9 years ago. Used some fairly cheap canvases as couldn’t really afford much much else at the time. Because of this, the frame of one of them warped a bit pretty quickly, so I gave up on them and started on some new work. Had worked on them a little over the years, then decided to get ’em done after finishing the Matua School toilets job. And as such it’s quite a cool collection of different elements that I’ve been painting at different times. Anpanman and Baikinman for example – we’d not long returned from living in Japan and my wee boy was a big fan!

It’s been some time since I last posted, but totemo isogashi desu.

Firstly, I finished 男、その8ビットの弾丸が私の一日を作った、ビル。, which is this one:

Also finished “Kanojo mo, ‘misutãsupãkuru’ no chōsen o ukeireru koto o eranda.”

and “Bishōjo sěrãmûn wa itsumo watashi no senaka o motte ita…”

Then painted a skateboard deck for the Show Us Your Deck exhibition at the Incubator gallery in Tauranga, New Zealand.

Then 3 12×12 pieces (“Hitori de iru koto ga nani o imi suru no ka watashitachi wa shitte imasu” 1, 2 & 3.) for the 111 exhibition at the same gallery:

Other than that, Merry Xmas and have a kickass New year!

 

I just figured that it would be best to hibernate during 2012 & 2013. Did find the time to move from Japan to New Zealand too. Much more space – much less delicious udon.

Here’s a painting that I finished about the time I last posted:

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!!!

This is the first of a set of four. What will the second say?

Does the excitement ever stop?

No. No it doesnt.

Just cant stop meself, really.

 

 

 

The arrival of Spring got me so het up, I even felt the need to create the Zombie Sakura of Doom. 

Spring had really gotten me by the paintbrush, so this poor box was the victim.

That shadow is either my head or my knee. They both look pretty similar.

 

Subliminal Projects Gallery in LA held a John Van Hamersveld gig, so um, yeah, I did this…

Endless Summer Rules!!!

 

Still on the Zombie Sakura trip… This might go on for a while.
