Harry Crews - Writer

Harry Crews is a writer of a different sort that wouldn't normally appear on my blog. He writes literature, not writing with a can of paint. He seems to have had an existence that I as an aerosol writer and person can relate to and learn from. I don't usually look within our thing for inspiration, more to people like him. Enjoy the link.

How will you be discussing you pieces, and I don't mean gallery work, but your walls in 20 or 30 years?

Dabs Myla

So....., I was really looking forward to my good friends Dabs and Myla visiting. 

The first afternoon they arrived we pumped out some freestyle silvers for the sport of it. It's enjoyable with these guys as it's a team effort, not just painting your own piece.

Knowing they were visiting, the previous weeks were spent putting my left hand to can control practice in anticipation of getting to do a nice production together, but......

I managed to injure my back packing up my paint for the production, and got trapped on my apartment floor. So instead, they kindly became nurses for a day or so and then got me off to a doctor. Fortunately they managed to get pieces done with what little time they had left, which made me feel better about the ordeal. They also discovered the brilliance of Speculoos spread in my pantry. 

Click on your right there where it says DabsMyla, and check out the vid of their recent Mexico wall and their take on the above events. 

Also thanks to Myla's killer Brie and salad sangas, Mr Chin up himself Mio, and the expert ambulance driving paramedic Jush.

And now for the left hand

Good times with Mio. 

Had to be a south paw of late, still at least another month of not using my right arm. It's been a fun challenge trying to draw and paint.

The nice folks Dabs and Myla are in town, and it's always a blast to hang out and paint together. Although I did my whole piece with Mio, we shared duties with these silver pieces above and to everyones benefit I managed to skip the difficult lines. More ambidextrous action to come.

Prozak New Mio

Things got a little out there, acid, flying V's, Jupiler, a touch of circuitry, and in retrospect a 70's dance floor... Fun times with Prozak (Sao Paulo) and Mio.

New

Had big plans for this but rested on what I know due to time constraints. Hopefully next week it can be a little more relaxed and I can break out some new stuff I have in mind. My wife thankfully came down, filled in a lot of the piece, did the 3D and the blue chunks in it. Otherwise this half light shot would have been a night shot. Nice work!

NEW

Fast, (not Sofles fast, but fast for an old bloke fast) piece today.
Back from San Francisco, but brought back some of the fog in my bg. Combined with a topical Victor Moscoso like color palette. I've been wanting to introduce more metallics than just silver, so I used some metallic blue and beige today. Great coverage and control and looking forward to further experiments, (check the crew piece, arrows, shines etc.)

A homeless guy lent me his stool to reach the top of my piece, while the rest of my new found homeless friends sung praises, shot up, got naked, drank malt liquor , and generally partied and enjoyed watching us paint the street they live on. Nice enough bunch with some sad history. 


Dabs and Myla installation in progress
Portable rubbish bin, if you were able to get in and drive it.

Fot the entrance to gallery, we tried for a Melbourne laneway feel, maybe it was a bad idea of mine and we just made a hard clean up afterward, sorry!

Thanks to Sandra, Andrew, Justin and their crews for putting together a great show. 

I didn't take too many photos until the end. So it's not a comprehensive selection here. I pinched 2. Actually, I don't have proper straight on shots of my own gallery work.
