+ all of the above

I’ve got no title for this yet, but it represents a few hours of messing around on a Saturday.

Neckface’s work is everywhere here in New York, which is no small feat considering the current environment for Graffiti artists.

I love seeing this guy’s work around the subway, and I love that all he works with is a blade. Check Poster Boy’s work out here, via The Wooster Collective

I caught up with Josh and Coops from Volley Films who are visiting New York for a couple of weeks. You have to check out their video clip for Casual Projects (below) as well as their other video clips

This is an incredible project. Read more about it on Wikipedia or at Friends of the High Line

A photo I took a while back of west Greenpoint, right next to the river.

So this took me a little longer than it should have to post, but if you’re interested I’ve put photos of the exhibition over on my flickr account. Also, check out the exhibition website and Banksy’s website for videos and photos.

This was fantastic to see as it was the first work by Banksy which I’d seen on anything other than a computer screen. The animatronics were absolutely flawless, the swimming fish stick being a particular highlight (which wriggled and swam around its fishbowl). Often you need to look past the technical problems in works such as this to appreciate what the artist is trying to do, however that was certainly not the case here.

Also, in case you were wondering, nothing was for sale. Not even the shelves and shelves of plastic wrapped meat, chew toys and kitty litter, all of which caused the place to have an eerily authentic feel.

I took some photos from the Empire State building, see the rest at my flickr account.

I’ve posted some photos from my Montreal trip over at Flickr. It’s a weird mix since I was quite ill and didn’t get out to shoot much, but I was able to grab a few good shots. Enjoy!

Click here to see a few more photos from the exhibition I was involved in back in August, “Face First.”

A lot can happen in a couple of weeks, and I’ve got the photos to prove it. I’ll be posting a few select ones here but I’ll be uploading them all over at my new flickr account: Man Killed (thanks go to Owen for the name, I hope you don’t mind but I heard you weren’t using it anymore…).

So I’m going from A to B and back again with a fair amount of detouring along the way. I’ll have lots of lovely pics when I return (I promise), but I doubt I’ll be posting anything until I get back.

I lost this badge yesterday. I think it was on the subway, but really it could have been anywhere. It was one of my favourites as it was larger than usual, about two or three inches wide, and it was made as a fundraising community art project for delinquent children and then sold at the ACMI gallery store in Melbourne. I just hope that someone finds it and enjoys it.

If you’re in or nearby Brooklyn then I invite you to come out on Tuesday evening for the opening of the group photographic exhibition ‘Face First.’

This is exciting as it marks the first time I’ve had my work on display in NYC.
The flyer is here: Face First 03
And the details are:
Goodman Gallery
Tuesday August 12th
6pm to 9pm
311 Columbia Street, Brooklyn.

These are a few photos from the start of the year and as you can see they are taken during the day (shock! horror!) so please forgive the divergence. They were taken on a location scouting mission for a photographer I was interning for, which was a hell of a lot of fun.

My favourite is the last shot, taken at a decrepit, aging park between two furniture factories. It had rusted old cars in a heap in the middle surrounded by park benches and as you can see, the park just about jutted right out over the east river and had an amazing view of Manhattan.

You know what they say in Brooklyn real estate? In Manhattan, you get a view of Brooklyn, but in Brooklyn you get a view of Manhattan.

Finally, some pieces from yours truly. I’m shifting gears at the moment and will be focusing a bit more on my personal work from now on, and this is the first result of that. Taken on a short jaunt around the industrial area behind my home in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
