Jack Daniel's Container Collaboration

The team from Jack Daniel's got in touch with me about painting some shipping containers for their Bar that Jack Built on Tour campaign. The concept for the campaign was to create a travelling bar/party that fans of the old No.7 could be a part of. The trucks would drop off the containers in 7 towns between Melbourne and Sydney. Then the locals would come in and supply furniture or labour in return for tix to the event and be a part of the action. 

Last year I was involved in the Jack Daniels Birthday -Bar that jack built campaign too. Here's a really thorough link to the process behind it.  
And here's my Jack Daniel's Birthday painting.

Bespoke -Maker Movement Documentary

There is this nifty little doco about the Makers movement around the world. It's available on ABC iView for a short time. I'm in the background of some of the shots, including my work at The Makery in Sydney. 
It's an interesting insight into the mindset of people like me who are getting in there and creating things for themselves to share with others. 

Singapore Poster Exhibition at LUDO

I was invited to crate a poster for the Supervene exhibition organiszed by Steve from local Sydney Screenprinting Print Edition. His vision for the show was to gather some top shelf illustrators to have a go at distorting their favourite superheroes or villains. 
The travelling exhibition was first shown at the Sydney Supernova pop culture event.

Next stop is at Ludo Gallery in Singapore. Here's their post about the event:

For the SUPERVENE SINGAPORE, we are fortunate to be able to showcase the hardcopy. With free reign over a wide and rich pop cultural history, the capes represented come from comics and film, from the famous to the obscure. The featured figures have been explored with an individualistic take, displaying the admiration of the source and artistry of each creator.

For the SUPERVENE EXHIBITION, the artists have used Screen Printing to execute their work. Many of the artists have their own websites and are on Facebook, and we hope that you will take some time to view their work online.

SINGAPORE: HERO + VILLAIN
Singapore also has a strong community of Western comic enthusiasts and collectors. For many, the now-defunct Comics Mart in Serene Centre that opened in mid-1980s stoked the flames of fandom. LUDO Gallery will now showcase as a reminder to the existing audience and an opportunity for the next generation of enthusiasts to experience and examine the art of screen printing stabilising our fascination with Superheros and Villains.

At the present time, the local comic convention, STGCC, has been recognised as one of the major Western comics-centric conventions in South East Asia. Superheroes are currently at the forefront of popular culture thanks to film and television adaptations.

Print Edition's intimate collaboration with artists and the resultant silk screened posters are an authentic reflection of comics' place in society and art, and seemed natural for LUDO Gallery to welcome the Supervene exhibition to Singapore's shores.

 

Beardeater collab poster

The mighty Jeral Tidwell has knocked up a scheme to produce a massive book of skateboard art. I created this one because of my endless procrastination. I don't have a beard but if I did, this would be my nailbiting. Land Yachtz Longboarding helped front up some sponsorship money, and Last Gasp is getting involved too. 
Check out these hashtags on instagram to see some of the other artists work.

Private Phoenix Commission

Hermit crabulae

TC Tee's

Commission for Sydney local brand TC tees, who are doing rad work using local artist for original designs. Came up with this nifty little number that comes in any colour as long as it is black.

They were also cool enough to host a short 'about me' section on their website. Rad dudes.
