Big Thanks to everyone who came: friends old, young, new, hairy, kaiju extremists etc! Gerald & I had a ball and I hope you guys enjoyed the work as much as we enjoyed making it. A special thanks goes out to Qwux, Chris, Sarah and Phyllis for helping us bump in and get everything ready. Here are some shots from the night taken by Qwux and Lisa.
A more comprehensive write up can be found on the Rah Collective website.
What I’ve been busy working on for the past few weeks…
“VERSUS THE CITY”
Chris Yee X Gerald Leung
Kaiju (怪獣, kaijū) is a Japanese word that means “strange beast,” but often translated in English as “monster”. Coming in all shapes and sizes, these creatures rise from the dark of the ocean and volcanic undergrounds of Earth to do battle, with the city as the ultimate battleground.
Paying homage to these bizarre beasts, Chris and Gerald venture through slipstreams of influence from old legends of the silverscreen, the dynamism of the manga panel and the wacky nature of the East to give birth to their creations.

Be There!
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.
Trying to start a new “drawing-a-day” work ethic. Heres a preview of the start of a new personal project, lets see how long this lasts.
Work x Own Stuff, at the same damn time!
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.
