I was asked to be involved with this years One Offs exhibition put on by Sneak and Destroy a little while ago.
The guys asked me to design the poster for them, as well as a submission for the exhibition. I was stoked to have been asked and I have attached the poster below.
One Offs is an evening for emerging and professional artist’s to showcase their talents by producing a ‘OneOff’ custom design on classic sneaker silhouette. This year it was at Comb Gallery and Neverland Bar, in Coolangatta. The other Artists involved were – Kid 9, Team Kitten, Shida, Claudio Kirac. Nick Chalmers, Layla Knight, Dane Williams, Squidtank, Sharna Martorella, and The Blind Kid.
This year SxD partnered up with Vans for the event…… so we got to go to town on a pair of plain white Vans.
I was running out of time to get my pair of Vans finished before I got married and went on my honeymoon. As the exhibition was on the day after we got back from honeymoon, I decided to take the sneakers over to Bali with us and do them over there!
I’m glad that I did, it was a nice relaxing environment to be creative and I was happy with the final product.
Here are some photos of myself gettin’ creative in Bali, taken by my wonderful wife. Also the start and finish of the poster design!
Final Product Hanging……
I know it has been a long time since my last post….. Things will change, I promise…… Maybe even a fresh look???
Anyways, I was involved in the ONE x ONE x ONE Skateboard Exhibition which was put on by the guys at the Three Sixty Project. The exhibition traveled from Sydney to Melbourne and finished up at 19 Karen on the Gold Coast, last Friday night. It was great to finally meet the 360 Guys and the rest of the crew who put it all together. They did such an amazing job!
I was asked to do a piece for a Laser Etched Skateboard range that the 360 project were producing with Art Harvest, just for the exhibition. There was 5 Artists chosen – Myself, Kid 9, The Blind Kid, James Jirat and Yok for the limited edition run of 10 per each Artists deck.
I was extremely pleased to find out that my board sold out of the whole 10, at the first Sydney show!
I based my artwork around a print I did for Art Harvest called, “Truth Is” and expanded on that design to fit onto a skateboard deck. The lyrics are from one of my favorite tracks by Oz hip hop artist, Urthboy.
Check out some images from the night and some detailed shots of my board.
Here is a Laser Etched Skateboard I have recently finished for the Skate Decksabition at this years One Way Project.
This is part of the Surfers Paradise Festival, which is happening from 18th of June – 9th of July.
I was given a bunch of different coloured skateboards to choose from, so I picked the flouro green deck.
Because it was green, I decided to do Leaves and Snakes and Frogs etc.
Looks good. I’m happy with the finished product!
The One Way Project closes the festival on Saturday 9th of July, from 2pm – 9pm. There will be Live Bands, Live Art, Skate Decksabition, Stalls and heaps more. Last year was great, so no doubt this year will be even better.
This is my latest project. The first piece of a series I’m working on for hopefully a solo show this year. Not sure when or where…. still working on that.
So it is a laser etched wooden cube…. all the images line up and flow around the cube.
Starts off with a sketch…
The I ink the image and scan it in……
After I’ve set up the file…It gets laser etched…..
Finished Product……
I did this sketch about a million years ago and I always wanted to turn it into a typography piece.
Well here it is…. I finally finished it…….
