Mo’ Munny No Problems
Last night= Huge success. Thanks everyone who came out, thanks to RedBull and thanks to Laced for putting on an awesome event. All the artists who participated killed it. There were some awesome designs there! And some awesome dolls being done on site. Props to everyone for workin’ it like bouses. I got lots of positive feedback and support from everyone! which is always sweet.
On a separate note! Not ONE BUT TWO people asked me if it was “decoupage.” First off….I don’t know what that is….so….no, lol. Secondly! I looked it up and its some kind of elaborate collage. Which I guess makes it kind of a compliment? Maybe, they thought I took pictures from a “real artist” and pasted em on the doll, or maybe even PHOTOS!!! So, yeah, the ultimate compliment. lol. Also, If you got a poster you lucked out, cause at the end of the night when I went to go grab a few for my personal collection, there were none of the full frontals left. Which makes sense. Who doesn’t want a full frontal? That being said… Here are some shots of my piece (………you wish….. Get your mind out the gutter.)
“Quartermaine,” Acrylic on 18″ Munny………. By: Yours Truly. Around 250 hours
p.s. (feel free to snag these photos and repost them, just don’t edit out my website, cheers thanks)

…Relapse
So this week, although I wasn’t gunna post one, I had filmed one anyways just for shits. I’m trying not to give too much away about the finished product so that’s why I haven’t included any pics, but after the 27th I’ll have loads of pictures and hopefully the videos will make a little bit more sense. This was a 5 hour session, but I had to speed it up cause the video was WAY too long and boring and in retrospect i could have sped it up more even. Anyways, you don’t have to sit through the whole thing, but I think because this song is the hotness your gunna want to. Chiddy Bang featuring Mac Miller – “Heatwave” off the FREE mixtape “Peanut Butter and Swelly“ (I couldn’t decide what format you put album titles in, so instead of looking it up i used ALL formats!!). You can download the mixtape here.
All that being said if your in Brisbane on thursday the 287th please come and check out the show; Mo’ Munny Mo’ Problems 7-10pm, Bakery Lane, Ann Street Fortitude Valley 4006. You can check the deets on the facebook page……AND ON THIS POSTER!!!!!

SHa……..Zam Wild Rick……shazam.
Ok so this week I finally got my shit together and got the timelapse all done early in the week, set up my new comp, so I’m ready to handle it. Anyways, “Rick” is coming along swell, just finishing up all the animalia today and I’ll hopefully be able to finish up everything in time for the show although i haven’t really started the hard part yet, so we’ll see. This next bit is where the time really just disappears. I may not post any pictures next week just to keep the whole thing a little bit of a secret before the show. But anyways, enjoy. (I apologize, the pictures do a weird thing over the video, but still should be ok. )
(you’ll notice in the video I’m actually applying a colour layer to the under painting that i already finished. This is a more classical approach that I’m integrating into my process. So far I love the results and I’m excited to see what it offers in future paintings. Let me know what you think. Enjoy)

Anything but Mundane
This week has been hectic as ever. But i got some painting in and made fair progress on the “Rick” (the munny doll) so far. I gots big plans for this bad boy and at this point i’m able to sess it out a little and approximate a finishing time of probably two more weeks. Anyways, hopefully in the end it will all be worth it. No tempest work this week, but i was juggeling a second order of Hong Kong jerseys and that ended up taking quite a bit of my time. Pretty much wrapped up with that though. And pretty happy with all the orders, they are looking so sick. When i get some free time i have some more ideas for other jerseys that i think could come out pretty cool. But thats then. ALSO, no video this week. I have one filmed but my computer is getting bogged down cause i’m running a lot of large files these days and i had to scrsp it cause it was taking too long. So, next week i will def have one. Anyways, i appologize…Enjoy the pics!
