Bauhaus Cal Dray Son

John Cardial rides for antihero skateboards, this is a black and white piece that i wanted to create to show some love.  I also have an alternate idea involving lots of colour and a reggae theme as Cards is very much into his reggae.

6am on the 1st of june

scoping through various blogs i came across this gem, rather clever and utterly charming.  i am interested in exploring creative avenues like this within my own practice.

Street Art Utopia

currently i am researching how street art can take different forms, i am looking for new and fresh ideas. the collection of images on the website listed below documents some of the best street art ever.  enjoy here; www.streetartutopia.com/?p=2014

UK vs US hip hop

my current project is entitled 'coming to america', it is an exploration of britain's special relationship with america.  within my sketchbook and research journal i am exploring the political relationship between these two countries.  politics touch on all aspects of our culture and society, hip hop is more often a comment on the powers to be.  below i have choosen two tracks, the former from uk artist skitz and the latter from us artist ra the rugged man, both artists i would consider to be underground and unrelenting in their rants on society.

this is british hip hop at its finest,

us hip hop artist ra the rugged man, a track about his father who fought in the vietnam war.

Preview images of new children's book entitled 'red balloon', as a group we are looking to develop children's creative and poetic minds from a young age.  Utilizing holes or rather portals in each page to involve a sense of fun and glimpses into how the story develops, the book is still in the development stage.  As the publisher I am looking to develop interest on indexhibit.org.

find me!

On Friday a young lady in her twenties with pink hair and piercings was abducted outside the police station by a sikh man.

Have your friends been accounted for?

Frustratingly there was only a small article in the Gazette rather than front page news and the Colchester rag neglected to even publicize anything, just some lame article about hairdressing!  What is wrong with this world!

re. recently i discovered that this girl had been found, murdered.

anti hero skateboards

For the second semester project 'Coming to America', i looked at symbols of America.  Anti Hero have an eagle as part of their logo, the design is reminiscent of the Harley davidson logo.  Harley as a company is a large part of American culture.
