Eat your greens

Late last year I painted this 2 storey commissioned wall in Fitzroy, Melbourne. This was a collaborative project between myself and a London based artist called NightWolf. His work was the background for my characters which sat overtop. This is the first time I have collaborated in this way. Was very difficult to get some good shots of the entire piece as it was in a narrow lane-way. Here’s some photos of cropped sections of the wall.

‘Idle Hands’ Mural

Last weekend I teamed up with Ghostpatrol and TwoOne to paint another collaborative-wall In Collingwood, Melbourne. We all chose to paint a set of hands in our own style interacting with certain vice’s of ours. A whiskey bottle, a spray can and a gameboy. The background was already bombed up with tags and throw-ups so we added to the mess to create quite a nice contrasting result.

Asian Wave 360 - Live Painting Photos

Happy New year and all that jazz. Hope we all had a productive holiday period. I know I did. I still havnt gone through all my photos yet of my recent Tokyo trip. These photos were taken at the Live painting event that I was invted to take part in.

The line-up included Kami - Usugrow - Toshikazu Nozaka. We all collaborated on one large canvas. It was a privilege to paint along side of these amazing artists. The event was in Seco Bar in Shibua. The night contained of numerous bands and dj’s, living painting and also a live tattoo session. All in all it was a great night and a great experience. I met a lot of cool cats that night. enjoy the flicks. Im still tracking  down a nice photo of the final product…

Musashi-Sakai

While in Tokyo, I was lucky enough to stay with good friends Toshi and Usugrow at their studio in Musashi-Sakai for 10 days. They both went out of their way to take me out and introduce me to other artists. I learnt a lot from seeing them work. It was an inspiration. As a gift I painted this small piece in between the hectic schedual of my visit. We have completely different styles but the language of art was an easy topic to discuss. In any language.

Lush - Another Shithouse “Art” show

 

 

OPENING FRIDAY NIGHT

 

Another ShitHouse “Art” Show by Lush.

Lush’s debut show atBackwoods Gallery in the December of 2010 was met with a mixed response, but controversy has fueled reputation for the artist who has since gained global recognition for his brutal critique of street art and graffiti.

 

Despite his rising fame, Lush is unaffected, his relentless commentary of the scene continues unabated and his legion of fans grow with almost as much velocity as his hordes of enemies.

A year after his debut show and following an exhibition tour of the U.S, we’re glad to be presenting “Another Shithouse “Art” Show” by Lush, the second installment of work by the artist. The show is a confirmation thatLush is indeed capable of a level artistic progression to match his knack for public controversy.

The exhibition will feature a collection of original A4 cartoons, a series of original illustrations, installations and the premier of two short films by Australia’s number one anti-hero.

 

LUSH ZINE

Backwoods has produced 100 signed risograph zine of 50 pages of cartoons by Lush, which will only be available on the opening night. Get in Early.

 

LUSH INTERVIEW ON HARXEST

Our friends at Harxest magazine have an recent interview with Lush online here.
