Kid imagination Commission

Stoked to share this fun commission I worked on recently! 
I was asked to create an imaginative shadow of a kid full of fun bright and colourful ideas and themes. It was a blast to put together the combination of items, I used to love getting lost in the intricate illustrated kids picture books when I was growing up. I'm stoked to have this piece in the kid's room and hope to inspire and excite his imagination as he is growing up.

Maybe you've got ideas for your own custom artwork like this, have a look at other examples and get in touch.

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.

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.

A close up gallery from my solo show.

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. 

Treasure Island, UD3 Solo Exhibition

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.
