No update today because I was at work till 2am this morning. Oh so sleepy. There is however a very cool Bill Henson image which has been on my brain this last little while. Enjoy.

The Manifesto of Stencilism by Blek Le Rat which has some fantastic anecdotes, in particular the first time that he went before a judge after being arrested. His lawyer handed out copies of Blek’s work and after looking at it the judge then said “I can’t condemn it, it’s too beautiful.”
Graffiti in Iraq by Iraqis and by American soldiers belonging to gangs
Pictures of Walls Some of you Canberrans might recognise the photo that I contributed.

Thanks to Cameron for this one. It’s way too cool for words, except maybe these three: Algebraic! Mathematical! Rhombus!

Just caught this. Apparently Jemaine Clement who is one half of Flight of the Conchords (New Zealand’s premier folk-comedy-hip hop duo, number 1 on New Zealand’s folk-comedy-hip hop charts for the last while) is starring in a new movie called Eagle Vs. Shark If you don’t know who Flight of the Conchords are then watch Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros and Business Time or else check out all of their work currently available at their fan site Anyways, here’s the preview for Eagle Vs. Shark
Apparently I missed this. Great work by Oliver Laric.
Oliver Laric is also the guy who made the currently very popular 50 50 which is a 50 Cent song as performed by 50 youtubers. He also did the masterful Message The, a remix of the video clip by Grandmaster Flash – The Message into alphabetical order. Person of the Year is also his and it has to be seen to be believed.
His website is full of amazing work, go check it out.

My sister just sent me this photo of her standing next to a Jef Aerosol stencil in Paris. So jealous.
How’s tagging a whole building, from miles away? Graffiti Research Lab pull it off. Check out the rest of their site too, they have some amazing work.
Found a site dedicated to one of the Sharpie gangs in Melbourne’s colourful past. The Blackburn South Sharps.
The work of Zach Johnsen featured below, just because.

Even Michel Gondry has jumped on the behemoth user-provided-content-wagon that is youtube. The second video is a response by someone, explaining the first one Michel Gondry posted. The last video that I’ve posted came a few months later, after he’d been hailed as a freak and then discovered as a fraud. Great stuff, watch them in order.

One of the shots that I took when Man Killed played at the CCAS gallery opening.

I started this blog so as could post both the insane things that I find while browsing the internet, and also any work that I happen to be working on. As yet I haven’t posted any work, but it is on it’s way. Meanwhile, while talking to Danyka today I was reminded of these old yet still freaky items of interest. Check them out to see what might have slipped through the cracks of your intertubenal awareness.

Rapid Prototyping connected with Motion Capture Technology. It’s geek on geek action mixed with design for a hot-hot-hot three-way.

Interesting Snow Globes by Walter Martin & Paloma Munoz
The trailer to the new David Duchovny and Sigourney Weaver film The TV Set frankly looks a lot like the Winterbottom movie, Tristram Shandy only not as good.
Graffiti Research Lab Have some new work up, specifically some great sprayer stuff.
And Photographer Denis Darzacq keeps it interesting.

So I’ve been telling this tale for a while. That Tool’s toilet is a scungy, rank place…. where they keep all their awards and albums (so rock). Just to prove that I’m not full of it, the link to the original anecdote by Joshua Davis is here.
A photo of said scunge:

So my first post. An occasion like this deserves a new type of nature created by an ex-physicist turned artist. This guy blew my mind, make sure you check out the videos. via everyone forever
