Melbourne Oldschooler Interview

I just did a little interview for Melbourne Oldschooler blog. They posted some old sketches and flix of walls and panels that some old Melbourners may recognize.

The site is not just a best of, so it gives an honest account from back then. Worth a sus for you historians out there.

Check it out here:

New Jush... in Holland

Fast and furious

Another wet wall to contend with!

Step 1: Wipe wall with old t-shirt

Step 2: Paint a line

Step 3: Remain patient

Step 5: Rewipe the same area with wet t-shirt

Step 6: Repaint the same line

Step 7: Step 1
Somewhere between experimenting with tradition and moving forward. 

I had all these big ideas of trying out new things for 2011. But, as usual iI took a big bag of paint winged it and waited to see what would happen. I painted quite different fills (for me) but proceeded to go over them straight away. It's got some 80's 3d stuff floating away, and crop circles, and orbital paths, a bit of both worlds i guess.

New at Stoffwechsel Gallery - works

Nice street name!



All my collages are first done as a piece on a wall or wherever. They are then made later, using colored papers. With the above Hitachi, I saw a lot of gold and silver Christmas decorative paper in shops and thought it would look good as a classic Melbourne train instead!

The paper works having being built up in layers give a small indication of how I ( or...writers in general) perceive 3d in my ( or our) pieces that we paint on walls as 2d representations.

If you have any questions, prices, sizes etc please contact the friendly folks at Stoffwechsel via email, both English or German emails would do the trick:

Paint on board. Besides the collages, everything was whipped up in the gallery.

Sunset......Sunrise... show - Stoffwechsel Gallery

The flying saucer is loosely based on a BMW design from Germany, which they built around the mid 40's (minus a disco light inside!!).

I sourced the wood etc to construct it from the local hard rubbish collection. Fortunately I arrived in Mannheim the night everyone put their old cupboards , beds, lamps etc on the street. I spent the first night lugging smashed apart furnishings through the area.

Luckily I found a work bench in the street. I only brought with me a jigsaw, posca, hammer and nails. The other wood elements on the walls and framing for 2 pieces was also found in the hood.
Thanks once again Montana!!! Much appreciated.

New and DUBS crew

Thanks to DUBS crew from Germany for taking me to do a wall. We did it quickly. Cheers for a fun afternoon. 

Once again I painted a wall practically running with water. We got there....

T-minus... whenever it feels right....
