Building the Arsenal

Soon all the pieces will be released back into the wild.
They just have to wait for the weather to improve so they have a chance of remaining in their chosen spot for any length of time.
If you do spot one on your travels, do what you wish with it, add to it, take it home, or take it home and add to it, leave it for others to stumble across, or anything else you can think of.

Here's a couple of new pieces added to the pile...

'follow your heart surgeon' (detail) 2009
acrylic on wood

'follow your heart' 2009
acrylic on wood
approx. 12 x 38 inches

'shit hot right now!' 2009
acrylic on wood
approx. 6 x 12 inches

Found It!

This little blighter had gone missing for a couple of weeks.
It was eventually found under a mound of 'in progress' pieces.
Nice to have it back in the arsenal.

Its Cold Out

Lets start with some moaning about the weather...
Its far too cold for my liking, I could've ice skated to work for the last week.
Bring on LA in February!

On the brighter side, it has given me some nice evenings in front of the fire, painting.
The piece above is to encourage you to go inside and get warm if you have ventured out on a freezing evening. Find a fire and some whiskey to warm those bones.

Next, some complaining about the state of modern architecture in this city.
The majority of it is pretty shit.
There are exceptions, and for these I am thankful.
But there seems to be a school of thought that the surroundings of a new build should not be considered when designing it, they lack character, individuality and any sense of taste.

Who decides what gets built and what doesn't?
Seems to be someone who likes too many straight lines, too much glass and commissioning ugly buildings.
TEAR IT ALL DOWN!
Then build something interesting that may make people appreciate art and architecture.


Apologies for the poor quality photos.
Ill take better ones and get them up soon as.

Came Here To Kill You

This piece, 'CAME HERE TO KILL YOU', sold on Sunday.
