artist info

I like doing. I like most painterly mediums; acrylics, aerosols, oils. I also like black pens, soft sculpture and craft based sculpture.
Working with my friends is the best, keeping things project based is ideal as I like to continue to develop and like to move on when I have given what I feel to be the neccessary energy.
I do aerosol stuff, like graff stuff and also illustration but prefer not to be labelled by my mediums.

Interests include iconography, hiphop and other indirect forms of artistic narrative, cartoons, graffiti, men, hard women, good cooks, degenerates, entrepeneurs, seekers, prophets and vessels, flannel t-shirts, t-shirts, lingerie, ho-hoops, rosaries, wife beaters, chucks, jordans, gazelles, stan smiths, satchels, black, stripes, nerd glasses, braids, bra straps, cigarettes, longnecks, boots, braces, crooked teeth, broken english...

Creatives I admire would be Charles Bukowski, Leonard Cohen, Wutang, R Crumb, Mark Ryden, Todd Schorr, Bosch, Tiffany Bozic, Miranda July, Marty Emond, Ezra Jack Keates and Frida Kahlo ( it would be easy to keep going but I digress). Most people I have met but most importantly my buddy old pals.

On location for the music video 'Of Everyone Around You' by James Duncan...

Last weekend was my directors debut shooting a music video for NZ musician James Duncan. A longtime band member of SJD and Dimmer he released his solo album a month or so ago titled 'Hello-Fi' to much acclaim and press coverage blabla. Anyway his friends are making different videos for all the tracks and I volunteered to give it a go. We are editing it atm and should have it done end of next week? I storyboarded it first to ease the shoot and the editing.
Here are some stills from the shoot.
NOTE: The crappy glasses are not script but help me feel bossy.













Big ups to the crew and cast.
Here is a video made by film artist Sean Grattan who has recently left AKL for Cal arts. The track is 'My New Flumes' and features local artist Bacholorette, it is made almost entirley from stock footage and works quite well...Sean cameos in there pulling up some wierd caveman squat...

A nice code production for SJD

Another video this ones from Joe 'Fish' Jowitt

CEC- a brief note

The Current Economic Climate reached high visibilty on Queen St today with a gross increase in beggars, people with clipboards, and people trying to fish with craZy costumes. Also notable was the number of for lease signs and suits having D and M's on the sidewalk.
If I had a dollar I would be scared.
