2003

been on melo for a longass time....

whats great though is it hasnt changed like everything else out there - every couple of months its like somebody threw up html or coding all over the place and the whole things gone upside down.

Artists Wanted

Submitted a few works to Artists Wanted, apparently 39 collects away from having work shown at the Billboard Premier in Time Square (NY) & Artists Wanted VIP Party (if that is true - im sure hundreds have the 77 'collections' hmmmm)

Anyways if you like the work, your 'collection' would be much appreciated to see if this really does anything. Worth the try I guess. Need to log in and hit the 'collect' button -

'This issue is the most colourful, most positive, and most hopeful one since the awakening of Artscum. This planet cannot stomach any more core meltdowns, headaches, revolutions, religions, self-fulfilments, song contests, road works in front of my window, itchings at one’s arse. The abyss of artscum is wide open especially for you, and everything crazy, unspoken, immoral, and remote will be sucked in, will be given a new meaning, and from a great height a further proof of its existence is shitted upon the well-laid table of revelation: INSIDE artzine #15. Pure beauty in the light of Cthulhu’s idiot sun. Only beauty can rescue this staggering planet. Enjoy it. Obey it. Take its fancy…'

Poubelle Interantaional EP Release

Was invited to do a little casual show of artworks here with two other artists for the release party of an awesome band of great people in HK called Poubelle International

I had a number of prints done

Artists:

Danny Kostianos

Danny Kostianos- AKA Danny the G(r)eek has been around for years, you’ve just never heard of him; playing the part of art teacher by day and a student of the ways of art by night. Mainly working in acrylics, Danny paints a collage of both the organic and robotic in each of his works to create an explosion of surreal lust. Danny has always had an intense passion for all things art and his work is a must see for anyone who needs a little chaos in their lives.

http://dannythegreek.blogspot.com

Some of his works:

Matt Bailey

unfortunately couldnt make it to the show but had his artworks up!

Matt Bailey- NML (nomattsland) is an emerging Hong Kong visual artist. Having worked in the realm of puppetry, film and theatre in Los Angeles and obtaining a BFA at the California Institute of the Arts, NML returned to his native homeland of Hong Kong to obtain a master's degree in multimedia technology at Hong Kong Polytechnic University.
Recently NML created a short graphic novel as a prequel to the indie horror flick 'GROWTH', the concert poster for Handsome Furs Live in Hong Kong, promotional images for an upcoming comedy horror film 'ZOMB'ASIANS: THONGS OF THE DEAD', and partaking in the newest exhibition at VOXFIRE GALLERY with a 9ft tall painting. NML also won an award from PERSPECTIVE magazine celebrating the top 40 artists under the age of 40 of 2010. NML also just completed a collaborated visual/musical art exhibition at VoxFire Gallery titled 'Among the Lambs Clothed in White'.

Re: public

thanks for the nice words! yeh it can be tough at times sometimes especially while you're working your job - I used to have so much time before I'd be filling sketchbooks up till they almost fell apart! less so these days, but i work at larger scale and outside the workbooks. Dedication definitely help as does uninterrupted space and and time for yourself to create something.
anyone can create art and become really good at it, if they want to :]

Re: WeSC Jam Session at Fly

You're welcome. It looks like a amazing night. where was that at? That's cool. I was on the WeSC web sit. Pretty awesome. A lot of my fav skateboarders are on WeSC. Again I love your art.

beautiful_decay's picture
Re: WeSC Jam Session at Fly

thanks - was an awesome night!
pretty nerve racking at first the thought of drawing in front of a mass of people, and at that scale - but once you got into it it was all good - lots of fun.
doing it again this weekend, a sort of trial event with WeSC
It's second proper Jam Session like this will be around August so will see what happens.
