Multi-Dimensional Urban Spaces - The Final Enmore Dancer

Multi-Dimensional Urban Spaces - The Final Enmore Dancer

I never posted my personal favourite of the Dancers (so far). Whoops! But while I'm planning on doing more Dancers, this is the last Dancer piece I do with photos from around Enmore. It helps that I had a great reference for this, a classic B-boy pose, transitioning from one move to another. I tried a couple of things with the colouring, mixing some of the shades in the legs.The more you enjoy drawing these guys, the more you want to experiment. So, the exhibition is over, bu

Multi-Dimensional Urban Spaces opening

Multi-Dimensional Urban Spaces opening

Multi-Dimensional Urban Spaces opened on the 4th of September. I had a great time, and I'm incredibly grateful to everyone who came. Still, I went a bit quiet there, didn't I? Might have something to do with moving house and coming down with bronchitis since the opening night, I mean, maybe? Anyway, it was a good night, and a huge experience for me, opening my first solo show. I really want to thank Vinh and Stuart at ArtSHINE for organising it, and the people at The Alley Du

Another break for some street art photos

Another break for some street art photos

I was out taking more photos around Enmore, and as you may have realised, it was with an eye towards extending my series of Robot B-Boys. At this point, I've taken photos around almost every area of Sydney, and it's kind of becoming an archive of the Street Art since I first visited in late 2009, as any time a new piece goes up, my wife and I take our son and head out to photograph it. This lot of pieces are actually some of the relatively few I've recently found for the firs

Robotic B-boys

Robotic B-boys

I thought I'd try combining a few interests I've already used in my art in a few different ways. This isn't the first time I've put my images with my photos, as you can see in my Portals series, but I thought I'd incorporate the Mechanical style I've used in the Mechanicals series and my typography project, and add a bit of hip-hop culture too. A well-timed photo of a b-boy dancing can be an amazing image. I found one which I thought was a really expressive pose, and appropri

A break from drawing for some Sydney Street Art

Flashback - L'ermitage

Flashback - L'ermitage

I think this was the last picture I made before I left London for Sydney. L'ete had made me feel that my Art Nouveau / robot idea was a good one, but I didn't think I'd completely nailed it. When I found this Paul Emile Berthon image, I knew it would be a better image to appropriate, as all of the framing and decoration had great potential for being updated. Also, it's just a fantastic image. This was, as you can imagine, a very long pencilling stage. I really wanted to appro

The ArtSHINE 10th Anniversary show!

João Barkley Interior design with my art

This is an unexpected surprise! João Barkley, a Sydney-based interior designer has been working with images I've created in designs for, as she describes it, "a conceptual design for a Game Studio-GameSHINE Studio- at one of the Central Park areas." The GameSHINE studio is, if you don't know, one of the schemes run by ArtSHINE, and which got me involved with Yelkrab Studios, and the Primal:Khaos project. Seeing this space is fantastic in itself, and seeing my work used in it
