Solo Exhibitiony Art Show Dealo

I’ve got my stuff on the walls over at Kent St bar in Fitzroy for the month of June!

It will be my first solo exhibition of sorts, and although is not an ‘official’ white wall gallery space, is definitely geared for the good times, which I believe suits the vibe of the works that I will be showing. There will be a small selection of illustrations from my stream of consciousness squiggles, and some from my splashy eyeball series, as well as a few t-shirt designs hanging around.

Come have a beer and a giggle if you’re in the area. Opening night is the 8th, but the show runs til the end of the month.

New Tees

Some shots of me, modelling some of the new t-shirt designs available in the Joshybug Store (Shoppy Shop). I got my housemate to take photos of me in front of this graff wall at the end of our street – someone walked around the corner with their kid just as I was changing shirts and they had to walk between us to get past. A small Japanese lady taking photos of a topless man whilst he fiddled with his moustache is definitely not what she was expecting to see, I’m sure. It made me a bit happy.

Note that not all designs shown here are final, some are just test models I had made for myself and might differ slightly to the designs available in store

This is a test shirt. The design available in the shop is a little smaller, as not to wrap around the chest as much

The shirt shown is a tester, the design available in the store does not have a splashy border around it

This is the most recent one. It has Frankenstein’s Monster pissing on a spider, amongst other things. I thought that was worthy of a mention though. My favourite bit is the bottom left corner and the drippy face. I’m not sure what’s going on, but it sure does look creepy. Creepy like a donkey.

Policterbation: How do you like me now?

I’m not even going to try to explain this one, all you need to know is that I impaled a fly and that he deserved it.

Oh, and apologies to Peter Garrett – it just came out, it’s not a threat or anything. It’s just unfortunately placed beside a man’s lasered face.

This is a retouched version of this illustration (mmm… scanny photoshop goodness…) which is currently at the printers! EXCITING! If the quality is up to scratch, it will soon be for sale as a high quality giclee print on fancy-pants paper, thus transforming it into HIGH ART.

I’ll keep you posted.

Idiot Box

This one turned out most like the original, in the sense that it actually made a semi-logical scene of some sorts. You know… comparatively…

I felt the scene was complete as it was decided not to throw in any extra objects or splatter. I decided this was a good time to experiment with large quantities of masking fluid to cover the entire foreground rather than just a few select bits here and there, and make the background busy as fuck.

Fuck, you see, is exceptionally busy.

That, and I really wanted to flick stuff around and make a mess.

The end result is a particularly textured, colourful, and visually stimulating piece of insanity.

Shiney Joe

I was singing ‘It’s a small world after all’, which made me think of the Lion King, so I drew some bastardized version of Zazu, but older and with a waistcoat for some reason. His foot turned into an eyebrow of a face, who’s chin turned into a storm cloud, which looked like a vomiting sheep, and who’s lightning reminded me of Chapelle’s pimpin Count, which led to whores, which led to boobs that turned into beach ball pumpkin eyes of a tongue licking man. Then I saw some corn. Porn. Ejaculate becoming ghosts. Goats. Shiney Joe’s Curry Bonanza. Panzer. BOOM! …Cat missile.

I never said any of this would make sense.

My favourite bit is the lady in the splatter.

Lines

The next installment in the stream of consciousness catalogue, this is called Lines.
I think.
I’m not sure, but it is definitely the most linear, flowing from image to image as much as possible without relying on external stimuli or searching for images in splashes on ink. I recall this drawing to be quite slow and meditative, using each object to fuel the next, without necessarily relating it to the subject matter of the previous.

I tried not to consider what I was drawing at all, just to trust in the mark making and work with whatever presented itself. I decided to cut back on foreground colour in this one (after the visual onslaught of clowning around) and experimented with alowing the images to be coloured with a vibrant washy background with each colour bleeding into the next.
