Battling the Pink Robots zine

A new one cut zine. Is it OK to like the Flaming Lips these days? I think that's still a tight album and you can go eat a tarmac sandwich if you disagree.

Apartment Walls

Blank walls = blank canvas. From a hermit in China.

Highway 61

I made this for my friend Carys before I left seoul, went to England for four months and then moved to China. I honestly don't remember making it but I'm glad I did.

AWEH Launch Zine

Riding skateboards if fun. Heaping a load of stuff you tore out of magazines or found in the gutter onto the bottoms of skateboards is equally fun. Oh and making your own skateboards is a neck punch to consumerism.  Many thanks to the National Geographic, Japanese metal magazines, and those people who make post cards of deceased Royals.

Apartment

Apartment; a multi media / multi dimensional project to investigate space and the urban environments in which many of us find ourselves.  Boxes can be flattened down, shaped, coloured, re-imagined and then placed back in their original form, yet bent and re-conceptualized.


Boxes can be re-imagined whether they are concrete or cardboard. The spaces around us are ours for the taking — the key point is flattening them out and making our mark on them with our own creativity.

 

 

The piece:  


Apartment (2010) cardboard drawer, acrylic paint, ink, spray paint, permanent marker pen, found photograph, Powell Peralta 'Future Primitive' reissue with Independent trucks and Bones wheels.


[Piece was auctioned off with 50 percent of the proceeds going to charity at "Art for Love", IAC 2010 Autumn Art Bazaar/Auction, held at Yongsan District office, Seoul, South Korea on December 4 2010.]


The video:


Apartment (2011) Filmed in Seoul, South Korea. Soundtrack made with Nanoloop 1.5 run through a Gameboy DMG-01, with a bass guitar and some pedals, with minimal fx added in Audacity.
