Although Iv’e been updating the image galleries regularly, It’s been a while since Iv’e posted some news so here’s a round up of the new year so far…
The tail end of 2011 saw me complete a few interior commissions that can be viewed via the new ‘COMMISSIONS’ section on the site. Expect this section to grow as I hunt down images from a backlog of CD’s and USB sticks…
‘The Field’ offices in Shoreditch…
As far as personal work goes, Iv’e kicked off the year with a series of large character work…
The guys at Peach Properties were cool enough to let me paint the outside of their building on Redchurch street at the end of Brick Lane. I decided to paint comething a bit cheeky without going overboard as It’s a pretty public spot. A few passers by demanded nipples on the female character although I ended up playing it safe. Maybe I’ll paint an uncensored version on canvas at some point.

Alexandra Palace…
Southbank…
And last but not least, a recent quick ‘OTAKU’ piece along side my buddy ‘Achoe’…
So this was an exciting project…I was contacted by Chris Dawson at The Field to create the artwork for an interior in Soho to be used for the launch of the new game, ‘Child of Eden’ for the Kinect/Xbox 360. The game is a wireless experience (you use nothing but your body to control the online play), fully immersing the player into a trippy neon wonderland of exploration and discovery and the brief was to create a venue where people would feel like they were walking into a subversive extension of that world. The paintings were all accurately copied from key scenes from the game that I was delivered. Very different to my usual work and a great exercise in technical proficiency.
Here’s a trailer for the game for an idea of the artwork I was referencing…
The customised space in Soho…34-35 Dean Street, London, W1D 4PR. Open to the public from the 5th – 22nd June.
And the artwork…10 days of fumes, blood, sweat and donuts….
A couple of days into the job, we had a visit from the talent at torpedofactoryfilms who put this little promo vid together documenting the tranformation of the space and a timelapse of me painting the wall above.
Hand painted logos using acrylic…no easy feat…
A Mr Jonathon Ross passed by during the private view to test his jedi powers…
Last week, through ‘Subism’, I was asked to paint the student bar at Kings College alongside artist ‘Deus’ who I’ve painted with a few times now. We went down the path of trying to encompass a sense of royalty into the visuals to tie in with the name of the collage. The heavy paint fumes and constant supply of Redbull put us in a suitably delirious mood for the duration of the day…
