Shout out to Carolina

It’s funny how “small” the world can be sometimes. Today I found a comment to an interview I did for Bolten Inc. It was from a girl from Gran Canaria.
She had seen my stencil of the astronaut at the busstop here in Århus. She took a picture of it and after returning home and looking closer at it she found my signature.
She googled it and found the interview. You can see the comment and interview here:

New Video from Berlin up

I have uploaded the video of the 3 paste ups I did in Berlin. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tefoAK_bJK0

Astronaut Stencil

Did the astronaut stencil this morning in one of the main streets of Aarhus. I'm pretty happy with the result.

Pasting in Berlin

Just came back from Berlin today. We were there for 4 days. I did 3 paste ups around the area of Rosenthaler Str. I also put up a bunch of stickers. It was a great trip, except for the 3 hour tailback we ran into on the way down there.

Stickers

I got my stickers today, just in time for Berlin which I'm going to next week, perfect!

Monk

I put a plywood cut out of a Buddhist monk up last night. I will post a video soon including the process of painting it and setting it up. Until then you have to do with these pictures.

Video up on youtube

Today I finished editing of a video of me doing the piece What baby wants, Baby gets.

Charlottenborg

I had two pieces accepted for this year’s spring exhibition at Charlotenborg in Copenhagen. The opening reception was yesterday. There was a ton of people and a lot of great works.

Famous when Dead

The opening for the portrait show at the Famous When Dead gallery was yesterday. It is a group show where I am one of the invited artists. Couldn't be at the reception myself as it is in Melbourne but I am sure it was a blast.

Piece ready for Clowns! show

Finished my work for the upcoming Clowns! show today. It should be a re-interpretation of the classic American clown painting. My contribution is a Rodeo clown in front of a trailer home. The title is Home town Hero.

Juxtapoz

Got some photos of my works posted on Juxtapoz website today. They had only been up there a few hours before I was contacted by Richard Scarry from Corey Helford gallery. He invited me to a group show called Clowns! It will be from November 15’Th and I'm pretty sure you can guess the theme. One of my favorite, artists Audrey Kawasaki is going to be in the show as well, so I’m pretty psyched about that.

Went to Aalborg again this weekend to paint at an upcoming show called "Gaden rykker indenfor" (The street moves inside) It is a place called Platform 4 who is doing the exhibition. It is located in an old warehouse on the harbor. They had invited a group of artist to come and do live paintings.

Melbourne Stencil Festival

This year’s Stencil Festival in Melbourne has just ended. I contributed with two pieces. Would have loved to be there, but Australia is a tiny bit too far away.

Cookie Factory

Just came home from the opening reception at Cookie factory. I'm exhibiting there for the next month. Cookie factory is a shop/gallery/coffee shop and in my opinion one of the best spots in Aalborg.
