Nitzer Ebb Pub

The lads from Nitzer Ebb enjoy a quiet pint in a pub with a swell decor. It can't be that tough to get served in there, surely!

Creation Graffiti PRAHA

A few examples of my collaboration with the now-defunct Creation Project.


Using bio-
degradable, non toxic, water-based chalks and paints, we attempted to illustrate what could be done with more organic forms of graffiti.

All the above were created in a matter of hours in three different locations in Prague, Czech Republic.

Terminator Salvation Trailer

I don't normally put up non-graphic film clips up on here but I was so impressed by this trailer for the new Terminator movie that I almost came on myself. This is the pinnacle of realistic CGI that was ushered in with Transformers but here splattered with grime and carrying real weight for a change. I cannot wait to see this...

BogArt - Off the Wall Project

After a collaborative chin-wag, we design and install a number of 2D/3D 'floating' decals. We are using the basic 'drop shadow' technique but in real-time. By cutting round and removing the head /body from the card, we are left with a template stencil to lay down the 'shadow' in grey spray paint. Once dry, we then lay the head/body down over it, ensuring the shadow matches the lghting on the picture which should not cover the shadow entirely (see pic).
They do look freaky, especially when placed in areas with limited spatial range.

Architecture and the Russian Avant-garde

As this short film shows, all modernist buildings are sourced through Malevich

Scary 'cross the Mersey

This atrocity is planned to go up opposite where I was raised on Merseyside. This motley collection of dildos, salt cellars and maintenance shafts resembles an oil refinery out of the Jetsons. Plug fucking ugly.
The upside of the whole thing is that, hopefully, it won't see the light of day and will be added to the ever-towering heap of unrealized architectural proposals that have threatened Liverpool's classical skyline in the last 50 years. In my home town of New Brighton, they planned a retro apartment block that not only blocked out the river view for everyone else but was also threatened by the slightest high tide. Eventually, it was dropped because a local councillor had omitted to put the project out to tender and had enlisted a company whose track record had used similar tactics in the past to get commissions. When these Masons get together, why don't they stay sober until they've got things properly worked out? Then, at least, they might put some people into work and rejuvenate one of the poorest areas in the UK instead of endlessly formulating plans that will never see fruition.

Dynamo Futurista!

You've got to hand it to these lads: while the UK were churning out miner's hovels ten-to-the-dozen, the Italian Futurists were designing the cities of the future. They took Russian art guru and Suprematist Kasimir Malevitch's 'Black Square' philosophy and turned it into concrete. Not only that, they ran over dogs in the first sports cars, drank polluted factory effluence and made music out of noises (Zang Tum Tum).
Whatever happened to Art Movements?

Godarena

I thought I'd build an arena for Zeus and the other gods to play football in. Whaddya think?
