Some new new of that upcoming apocalyptic future

Space Death 33

human>black goo>kaiju>stomach alien>death>zombie? in that order

The World Watcher

One of the first organic beings ever created, this guy can be found quietly scanning the world from the clouds above. He creates order in the world fighting off incoming dangers aswell as restoring balance by materializing animals and nature from his consciousness when needed. Or something like that…

 

In other news Quake 3 is on flash!

its kinda dodgy and takes ages to load but it exists nonetheless and that blows my mind, truly closer to that Prometheus promised future.

All Grey Everything

| Chris

So along with the comic heres a preview of another personal project I’ve been working on, soon to be released in a printed greyscalyle zine. A large focus on Greyscale as the new theme of the zine but more on that later yo
four arms vs ϟϟϟϟϟϟ

This piece is kind of a b-side to the painting I did for Hyper Reality. It began as an initial idea I had when planning the first piece but ran out of time to paint as a second piece. I might revisit this with acrylics later, who doesn’t like hero/villain fights!?

Something I started ages ago. fashion/fantasy/girls/animals. Playing around with drawing textures and repeats, more to come.


Surf & Turf

| Chris

Through the week I have been working on some artwork for the newly branded Pub Life in Surry Hills. With the artworks I tried to create an old school Aussie Pub type feel trying to recreate illusions of a hand painted/airbrushed look through photoshop. To see the rest of the series go over there and check em out in person and while your at it go grab the fiendish O.G. burger. Grease level one hunned.

O.k. Rap time – one new, one old and one funny. The order, you decide…


and one for MCA

Ultra XX

| Chris

My piece for the “Hyper Reality Dimension XX” gallery the other week.
This was my tribute to all of the high energy, Saturday morning Jap Heroes of the 70s/80s/90s. Besides my “Evil Ryu” spin on the godfather, Ultraman, other side elements I tried to include were some of this, this, this, and this.
Initially I was going to do a whole piece on Guyver entirely, my personal favourite growing up but I was afraid it wouldn’t be as easily recognizable. So I did the next best thing and created a mash-up instead. So yeh If you don’t know please check Guyver out, I guarantee the most bizarre, dark, violent version of the good old power rangers type you’ll ever see (titty laser cannons? you can’t beat that).
The piece is acrylic and a bit of spray on a 40 x 30 canvas.

Photos of the event are now out courtesy of aMBUSH gallery which can be found here

Arty Thursdays

| Chris

Why are art openings always on Thursdays??

The 80s-90s Comic/Cartoon/Video Game themed gallery Hyper Reality Dimension XX went off without a hitch. Good vibes, great numbers, great art. Much thanks to Jono Verzosa for curating and organizing the whole event. It was great meeting all of the artists and hearing from people that they legitimately liked looking at all of the art.

Sydney’s a small place and it was great to finally put a physical face behind stuff i’d seen online. So please check out the works of talented dudes: Gerald Leung, Sam Hoh, Jin Hien Lau, BafCat, OX and Bryn Desmond-Jones to name a few.

Be sure to check out the gallery at aMBUSH before it ends, or the online catalogue when it comes out. Here are some blurry and overall poor photos I took from the night

Thanks to the usual scumbag crew for coming. Much like the Wu-Tang Clan except one of our names could actually be “Wu” or “Tang”.
Jinman is Raekwon.

Illustration

| Chris

Been busy working on illustration jobs through Babekuhl aswell as other clients.
Switching styles, going out of the comfort zone.

Some large rice paper prints made to be put up at the soon-to-be-opened “ipot restaurant” across the road opposite Meet Fresh in Chinatown. All works were loosely based around the famous Chinese artwork, “across the MingQing”.
So come down, grab a feed and one of those slimy Taiwanese desserts afterwards.
 

Drew the little repeated icons for the cover of Concrete Playground’s guide to Summer….even though it is over, this can still be purchased from the website in digital or hardcover versions.

Some draft logo work for band Apparitions of Null

The newest stuff ive been working on. Illustrations for furniture brand Pacific Green and their upcoming collection/tradeshow/catalogue. The concept behind these were to look almost like explorer sketches with the notion of travel in the 40’s. Stepping away from the brush, it was fun to try some cross hatching and lines I usually wouldnt do. Some exciting stuff coming from this project, most are still work in progress…
finally some personal stuff i’ve been working on. W.I.P…
Thats it for now,
open for freelance illustration work !

Stick Up Kids

| Chris

Summer feels like its officially here and with people out and about I thought it was time to drop some stickers again. So with this first batch this is my take on overtly dark, almost-gang badges featuring typical skulls/snakes etc.
Also, in 2012 fish are the new birds. The hulk font was done for the hell of it.
So please feel free to print these out and share the love. More summerish designs to come soon!
As a bonus here is a fishy wallpaper for you all, Happy New Year!

2011

| Chris

A pretty decent year I’d say. Thanks to everyone that came out to any of my gigs/art things through the year, it is fully appreciated. A few days into January, I think its time to start working again and updating this blog on the reg. A few projects are already in the works so watch this space for more updates.

I guess to cap off 2011 i’ll blog a few “bonus” things that happend this year. Think of it as a b-sides of jobs I ceebs’d blogging.

Tagged viv’s hipster couch with a laundry marker. dragon/demon all day everyday

Before the “battle” with the Momorobo crew we had to send over a proof of concept so they had a feel of our style/what to expect. With roughly 20 minutes this is what I came up with.

That same night after seeing me draw live this dude asked If I could sketch something for his daughter Perri. It was pretty flattering and I was down so cheers to you, mysterious drunk man.

A few weeks ago I handpainted these signs to fit an A-frame for The Passage in the cross. I tried my best to get the sets near exactly the same. So if your ever in the cross drop by, peep the signs and grab a cheap feed. I believe babekuhl did the interior murals inside the bar aswell.
2011 Year of the Totem Pole!
To close here are some dumb songs I dug from ’11
