I painted this dood live during the third instalment of the Wax Lab open deck sesh.
We thought it would be funny to have a Cookie Monster being caged by the weight of his addiction. The posh snake raises a familiar image of our own corporations in charge.
I've realised that I don't post enough shots of the details from my work. It's all super detailed but that's tricky to convey online. So I'm posting a buch of close ups from each of my animals.
Here are some shots from the opening night of my solo exhibition Treasure Island a couple of weeks ago at Blacklisted Gallery in Sydney's Surry Hills.
The speed demon Rob McWhinnie hit me up about putting some new ink on his stark white downhill helmet.
I was keen to get some video action of this daredevil screaming down mountains, and pulling elegant, high speed turns.
I liked trying out a new surface, the curves were a challenge, and keeping the stripes straight was a tricky challenge.
Cheers to my friend Azure Mysterious for the photography.
Step on board the good ship Black Penny on Tuesday July First and join us as we christen the ship, raise the anchor and set sail on a one week adventure to Treasure Island.
It's a place where creatures are crafted from the detritus of discarded items. You might have to dig out a seeing glass to spot all the hidden treasures... I'm presenting a new body of fresh inky work inspired by the throwaway culture which created the pacific garbage patch.
The show will be featuring the debut of UD3's non-patented Find-A-Thing™ technology.
Feat Noisonous spinning the Vinyl to keep the mutiny at bay.
Drink sponsors will be involved so get yer selves in to Blacklisted Gallery for some truly black ink work and good times.
One of the finished pieces, the sea snake.

Here are a few photos from the show I put on at Blacklisted, a tight spaced gallery within Black Penny in Sydney this week.
Such a massive relief to have it all up and a big crowd through the foot on the night. So many cool pieces were created by 31 different artists from Illustration, design and street art backgrounds.

I'm stoked to see my first UD3 design inked into a human. The friendly polish Jan volunteered his torso to go into the studio and get tattooed. Just to be clear, I had no involvement in the actual application of the design.
He was stoked, and I'm very happy to reveal this one.
