Derailed @ Cardboard Spaceship

Derailed (50 customized ACS blanks) was a smash hit, tons of people, tons of energy, and the art was out of control.
Amazing conversions by jimkoch & motorbot, unexpected refinment from Kozik, & huge showing of local talent. The most people I've seen in Carboard so far, and probably the happiest I've seen the normally subdued owner. Some random local media showed up and started to interview one of the artists that was doing signings at the time like he was the owner, after a few random questions they thanked him for inviting them and bailed... even today no one knows who invited those guys.
Anyway my art was in there so it was the best show ever:


Pyu-tofuku Jaguar's Hammer-inspired (had a little trouble with the paint tape pulling up some of my airbrush work, that ended up messing with the windows a bit...)


Street Writer (Only had two days for this one, but I had to get this idea out there, lots of masking work but well worth it.)

Derailed soon

Derailed @ Cardboard spaceship, dont miss it.

Sakuragicho Rakugaki 08

There's a street that runs along a long support wall under the train line that runs into Sakuragicho in Yokohama. Since I (or any of my friends that live there) can remember, it's been covered in graffiti (rakugaki) I rarely see anyone working out there but the cops seem to leave the artists alone, clearly evident from the time it would take to complete some of the work pictured. As always some punk taggers have marked up some spots here and there, but all in all it's over a half-mile of some nice work.

Harajyuku is bullshit crowded.

Japan 2008

Good stuff.

NCAB - USB Eraser

NCAB: Non-Scenical Condescending Artist Bullshit.

These douchebags dipped a USB memory stick in some of that eraser sculpy and called it art.
Ok, never mind that the circuitry would be exposed once any part of the eraser wore through. Never mind that on a practical use level it's ridiculous at best, and that maybe the below photo could pass as art on a silly concept design level.
But no, they had to take it that final step to establish their douchebagery.
Enlarge the pic and the subtitle reads:
"form define by user and disappearing on their own during their use"




Ok, at this point syntax is a non-issue, but the idea that the user is now involved in the art by how they 'shape' the eraser. I guarantee these douchebags spent time at a University.
I think I'll shape some art by going and pinching a loaf off now.

I am really liking these Alien Kubricks.



Common, Powerloader! what's not to like?
