Apparition Park by Jeff Noon and Steve Beard
'Apparition Park' was an awesome colaborative writing project by Jeff Noon and Steve Beard using the Mappalujo engine. The original online writing project created online in 2002 at www.mappalujo.com
The writing game was a shared narrative with the writers taking turns at each chapter and the Mappalujo Engine infecting the style with a celebrity virus. The project was later collected together and refined into a finished story.
We did talk about maybe working on an illustrated version of the book. Each chapter would have the Mappalujo Engines choice of celebrity virus. I know my brother will be interested to see these. We are both huge fans of Jeff Noon. Heres two sample chapter headings infected by Harry Houdini and Jim Rose. Under the title is an object featured within the chapter.

Death Day by Sam Hiti
Death Day by Sam Hiti.
An awesome sci-fi strip with lots of action, all done in a beautiful brush and ink style that Sam Hiti seems to perfect.
You can check out the first three chapters and prologue on his Death Day website for free.
There's also the collected first book available that contains chapter 4. Chapter 4 is huge. The battle gets epic.
I got myself a copy of the black band edition and it's beautifully presented. Take off the black band to get at the bug eyed insane Third Wave Commando Captain wrap-around dust jacket and a great original sketch inside. Goes nicely with the hand drawn cover of the Prologue book.
Who needs new comics day when you can have self published books sent straight from the artist with a unique hand drawn sketch in it.
Check out his website http://samhiti.com/ and his blog http://samhiti.blogspot.com/

Timid, Remi/Rough and myself painting outside the RCA in London for Dream Factory and Honda, for the launch of the CR-Z car and in time with the Eco Rally in Hyde Park.
Remi and I had already done a piece in CMYK so we got to do this one in RGB.
We had a visit from two police sniffer dogs. One for a second opinion obviously.
The detailed parts are sections of the Honda engine.

Everyones got there own arrow
Around 2001 when I first moved to Brighton, I was a texture artists for a computer games company. I liked to collect my own photo reference for building realistic in-game textures. After a while can't look at anything without breaking it down in to colour and form. Everything is a texture. And the one thing that really started to stand out for me was the excessive amount of arrows. Everywhere I went, there they were. Thats about the time I started photographing them.
Being into graffiti you get a love for the arrow, normally adding armour or style to a letterform. So when you see start to see them on your travels you just can't stop seeing them. But then looking around it seems we have come to accept it as out most basic form of communication. Go that way. Travel this way. Put money in here. Move point a to point b in that direction.We are directed every where we go.
Back then when I started we only had a 3mp camera, so there's some grainy shots in there. Its funny how quickly over the years the cameras kept getting better. I never intended at first to collect these, it just happend. I never did get around to posting them on the Ikonoklast Movement website, which we stopped but lately with more people sharing their photos on line I started to notice I was not alone in seeing these things. We all get obsessed in some weird artifacts. And graffiti artists are especially drawn to the arrow, just check 'Style Wars' if you haven't seen it. (How can you not have seen it?). Check out Rammellzee's Ionic Treatise Gothic Futurism.

System Terminator Respirator
System Terminator Respirator
I just wanted to see what it looked like. Had to get the idea out of my head. And I think it looks pretty cool to go with the rest of my toys. It's a fully functioning spray paint respirator, it just also happens to have light up eyes.
Heres the respirator inside the mask. Iv'e also cut a hole in the plastic and kept the microphone.
The mask works great but not very practical. The damn thing is huge and you cant see where your walking.

(B Fats) - "Hows Everybody Feelin"
Apparently it's (Beastie Boys)-"time to get ill". My nose was all (NWA) -"100 miles and running". I'm feeling (Big Daddy Kane)-"no damn good" (Kevie Kev) -"all night long" and woke up at (Ice T) -"6 in the morning", so (Cool C) -"I'm not impressed". I was told (Times Square)-"you're hot" and should (Kool Moe Dee) -"go see the doctor" but it's not like it's a (Afrika Bambataa)-"frantic situation" and (Rockwell Noel)--"all hells breaking loose", I just need to (Marvelous JC) -"get a grip". I'm a (K9 Posse)-"tough cookie". It's (Schooly D) -"saturday night" and I'm (Kool G Rap &DJ Polo) -"home sweet home". I just need to (Skinny Boys) -"stop crying" and (Gang Star) -"take a rest".
And you know (Style Posse)-"something else", there ain't (Cold City Crew)-"nothing like hip hop music".
I'm (Pre Sweet)-"out of here"

Ghost Mews Project / 10
Agents of Change at the Mews 42 Gallery. www.mews42.com/
INSTALLATION featuring : DERM, JUICE,LX.one, Remi/Rough, Jason System, Steve Mor, Timid ...
MEWS 42 Gallery, 42, Princes Gate Mews, London SW7 2PR
One of the main themes is the number 10. The main wall uses 10 colours. Juice 126 created his own set of Rorschach 'inkblots' in spray paint as there are officially ten images in the test. LX One used the Tetractys of the Pythagoreans. Derm was based in Base 10 and the decimal system. Timid inspired by the decagonal number and I went for the Ten Heavenly Stems.
 |
The Ten Heavenly (sy)Stems
In China around 1600BC, the Shang Dynasty belived there were ten suns. These Celestial Stems, or Heavenly Stems were given their own names. There are nine individual system characters sketches that join up to create 'Jiǎ' the main character who represents the first of the Heavenly Stems. The canvas is spray painted within our ten colour limit then the thin calligraphy paper glued on top to show the colour through the paper. It's a bit delicate, so I probably won't be trying that experiment again.

Ten Kimonos
The Heian period of Japan was a time of art and culture, they had some unique customs and the style of Kimonos and ceremony really took shape.. Noble women would wear 'Juni-Hitoe'. They are the 'twelve layers' of Kimono. Every detail was important, the arrangment and colour, to represent the seasons, virtues and elements of the earth. The makeup was also very unusual and can often be seen on the Noh theatre masks. I love this era, the golden age of Japan, its so over the top. (And this style shows up a lot in the court scenes of any of the 'Chūshingura' movies. The tale of the 47 Loyal Retainers. I love Jidaigeki movies and especially Chambara.)I decided to do 'Ten Kimonos' for the show. I buffed some graff off a canvas board and then illustrated with acrylic on top within the ten colour limit. Tried to let the scratched off textures show through as much as possible. (which is why there is a little too much space on top, I couldn't bring myself to paint over the texture) The orange and blue really clash in the flesh.

Sketchbox.
Finished my peice for the Au Secours event in aid of the Haiti charity.
'Sketchbox' - A box for putting sketches in. Most of this is recycled material. The wooden box was rescued from an old graphics card display. I painted it black and wood glued textured paper over it so the black shows through. Brough out the sketch with Japanese brush pens and then it's all sealed in a light varnish.
And you can't have a box without having something inside it, so there's two new sketch pieces to go inside.
"Red Lorri" and "Yellow Lorri". Created on recycled card. I love old packing boxes and parcels. I like the challenge of remixing the design already on the box, fitting an image around them, or using it as texture.The backs are signed and then sealed in red and yellow packing tape. Yellow Lorri's blue dots are still drying and smells of Hycote Double acrylic, 'Peugeot Blue Spatial', my favourite outlining colour.
I've also included my catalogue from my 'Gaijin No Bijinga' show at the Galería Nuble and 3 postcards. Also I've also included the piece of paper I used when gluing the paper to the box. The pencils transfered over to the wet paper. Looks kind of ghostly. I love accidents like that.
I hope this finds a nice home, I love boxes.
I have a lot of recycled card and boxes ready for my next sets I will be working on.
So this box is officially 'Sketchbox #001'

Run out of shelves
Need some serious rearranging to fit some new toys on here.. or a hell of a lot more shelves.
Aparently blogger is no longer supporting FTP uploads soon so I'm hoping I haven't broken my blog history, or have to convert all the old files over. We'll see.

Darth Adidas
Couldn't resist. Darth Vader Adidas from their new Star Wars range. The packaging designed to look like the Star Wars toys. Damn they are comfy after months of my wrecked skate shoes.
Love that soundtrack sample on the new advert.
Ghost Village Project
The Ghostvillage Project from Agents Of Change on Vimeo.
Short film from our 2 day painting stint at the abandoned Ghost village at Pollphaill. Such a great place. I wish I could have stayed there a week. Painting with Timid, Remi/Rough, Stormie Mills, Juice 126, Derm. Great fun painting with these guys. Video over at the Agents of Change link on Vimeo. Photos Included.
That's me painting in a moment of sunshine between rain showers. I wish we had had the time to finish this wall. It's great that you can see her from the top of the hill overlooking the town.
