Short Feature on Muddy Colors Blog

Hey everyone,

A short feature on one my pieces, Among Ghosts, just went up over at Muddy Colors. Muddy Colors is a blog run by some of the top illustrators from around the world. Unlike me, they update regularly with new art and some behind the scenes action on how they do their work!

In my feature, I cover briefly the steps I take when doing illustration work for clients and show you some of my early sketches and also what I do to quickly get inspired and motivated to work on a piece. Jump over to Muddy Colors for the full feature.

The 'special edition' of my Dutch book Big Bad City, with mini print, is now available to buy here. Be quick though, there are only a few available.

A print of the above installation, Background Noise, is also available from Andipa Gallery in an edition of 5.

A big 'Haaj!' and 'Dankzij!' to everyone who I met at the book launch in Amsterdam!

September Update

First of all a couple of important points -

1. This blog is non-profit and is only updated every 4-6 weeks - so some waiting may be involved. It's really a labour of love so please be patient.

2. Please ensure that you have a link to Art Blogs 4 U on your own blog ... its a lot of hassle having to e-mail those of you who have not placed one before asking to be listed here!

So now on to a
WARM WELCOME to more New Members!

Wet 'n' Wild

Grottaglie, Italy

I got back from Fame Festival in Southern Italy last week, after spending a few days making installations around the city. I made six in all, including a few that used miniature speakers and mp3 players to add sound. The one above had a speaker hidden in the drain that played sounds of screaming kids and splashing - check out the video below. I will be posting more soon, including a video showing the reactions of Grottaglie's residents to one of the sound installations. I will also be releasing a mini print from the festival in a week or so. In the mean time, check out more work from the festival here - as usual a bunch of great artists including Swoon, Blu and Boris Hoppek. The Fame Festival show opens it's doors on the 25th September.

School Trip

Belsay Hall, Northumberland

A couple more images from the Extraordinary Measures show which is on at the moment in Belsay, Northumberland - this time showing the final work in situ as well. The last installation, School Trip, was placed on the visitor's scale model of the hall and grounds - the graffiti is still there too, English Heritage haven't buffed it yet :)

-----------------
A new book that I am featured in, Beyond The Street: The 100 Leading Figures in Urban Art by Patrick Nguyen and Stuart Mackenzie, is available now. It really is a brilliant book which not only weighs a tonnes but also has a tonne of photos and interviews with loads of amazing people from artists such as Jose Parla, Swoon, Judith Supine, and Blu, to websites like Wooster Collective, magazines such as Juxtapoz, as well as galleries, auction houses, web forums and art festivals. I am very proud to have been featured and if i could recommend one book about the tricky-to-pin-down street/urban art 'scene', this would be it.

-----------------

If you are in Los Angeles, check out the group show Booked at Carmichael Gallery. It opened this weekend at runs until 3rd July. It features a few of my pieces, alongside a load of other work by the guys listed on the flyer below, and a selection of books by the artists featured as well as many more.

Relics

Belsay Hall, Newcastle

The above image is one of 12 that are part of a new show that opens Saturday 1st May at Belsay Hall, Northumberland, UK. The show is titled Extraordinary Measures and features work by Ron Mueck, Tessa Farmer, Mat Collishaw and many others - all scattered around the gardens and buildings of Belsay, an English Heritage property.
My installations were placed around Belsay last summer and photographed for the show - visitors can now track down all the images around the grounds, placed where the installations once were. This is my first work outside of an urban area and takes on the theme of tourism and the joys of the day trip - so expect to find images of dodgy ice cream vans, alternative 'donkey' rides, toilet queues, depressing picnics, bored school kids and gift shop dramas. The show runs until 26th September 2010.

----------------------

I finally have some new 25mm badge sets available - as well as an Inner City Snail 38mm badge. Clickety-click below for more details!
