  • Lucky Artwork.. (Apparently)

    Wednesday, Sep 17, 2008 5:32PM / Members only

    Had the Fung Shui man over to the studio last week - an interesting experience... I can't say that I truly believe, but then I can't say that I don't either.. Anyways - one of the (many) things we had to change was the large artwork behind my personal working area - apparently it needed to be more red, more happy, and bit more suitable for a man with a family than the semi nude tattoo babe that I had up there previously...

    So I knocked this out over lunch and got it up on the wall pronto.. A bit of classic Chinese propaganda remixed and montaged and turned into a two metre artwork.

    I gotta say though, it does make me smile... So now I'm just waiting for all the cash to start flooding in. Will keep you posted...


  • Mystery Object.. Any ideas?

    Friday, Sep 12, 2008 1:34PM / Members only

    Found this while going through my bottom draw this morning. Anyone know what it is? I took 3,500 digi-pix of this object if anyone wants to go through them and see it from every conceivable angle and using a whole array of special settings. I probably won't ever get round to editing the shots though, I'll just upoload the whole lot for everyone to look through. Isn't technology great?


  • Imitation / Flattery. Pt 2

    Wednesday, Sep 10, 2008 10:17AM / Members only

    Or is it just plain and simple plagiarism...? I recieve loads of eflyers about art exhibitions all over the place and this morning I got one for an exhibition at London's respected SPACE gallery for an exhibition entitled "MUMU - Malice and Misunderstanding" by Thomas Raat...

    The featured piece of "work" (below) is credited to Raat, 2008.



    And this (below) is the cover of the KLF's landmark electronic album "The White Room" from 1991. And of course as we all know, KLF used to call themselves The JAMS - Justified Ancients of MUMU.. Being obsessed with the mystical land and its people and frequently refering to it. They even did a rare concept album called "Waiting For the Rites of MU" complete with narration by Martin Sheen.... (Side note: Well worth a listen if you're in a dark mood)



    The press release smugly admits that Raat is plaigarising deliberately - this is part of his "art" - because apparently it is "Reconstructing the dogmas that surround well known artworks and artists and highlighting the loss of Modernist ideals that has occurred"....

    Sorry, but i just do not get the "art" world... Can anyone explain, or is it quite simply all a complete load of arse?


  • All we want is gold...

    Friday, Aug 8, 2008 7:27PM / Members only

    I've shown this before, but on this 'special' day, I felt compelled to show it again and perhaps gain a new and appreciative audience... It's a piece of personal work I did a while back summing up my thoughts on the Olympics. The English and Chinese both say; "United By Greed. All We Want is Gold".

    (Stencil and newspaper collage on 12 x one foot square canvases.)


  • Reasons to be Cheerful Pt 1

    Monday, Aug 4, 2008 2:12PM / Members only

    Sunset on Saturday night at Hong Kong's very own South Bay with my son, my friends, some mellow dub in the background and a cold beer in my hand... A reminder to myself to quit moaning and appreciate life more...



    (Quick snap taken with a crappy iPhone, but you get the idea...)

    I've already shot the set, but I think Brian wants to shoot some other kids, not sure if he still remembers; might be an idea to shoot him an email.

    Subtitles will be out with the final version, which combines all the clips of the series.
    I just helped Nigel film the 'finale' of the series, which features himself & you should be able to see the completed version before September.
