Inner Thoughts

So - this is post 101 for the blog! Hopefully not as mysterious and creepy as room 101. Anyways, you probably wont get that reference to 1984 unless you're an Orwell fan? Big Brother is watching fyi. Where was I, oh man yes! Here is another giclee print now available through the website, an edition of 100.

Out Of The Trance

This is one of the limited edition prints now being sold through http://www.atom146.com/ . Only 7 left! So if you are keen - then get hitting those PayPal buttons! Ultimately - I'm trying to save up for a trip to MOMA in New York, I was in New York this one time, August 2001 actually - I took photos of the world trade centre and everything, but I never went to MOMA! Regrets for me, ah well, a good excuse to go back - then I can also visit a Kidrobot retail store, buy a statue-of-liberty hat and give Donald Trump a high five.

Lift Off

Ok guys, so like - epic news here ok? You may want to sit down before you read the rest of what I am typing right now.

Anyways

It has been done! I've been blundering around on my home pc for some time now and have just launched my new official website... http://www.atom1746.com/ ...awesome.

The main focus of the site is to promote a series of limited edition giclee prints that I'm producing. Giclee is awesome because it helps make art more affordable for us normies - is super quality, super permanent and also looks super good. Thats three 'supers', you can't lose.

You'll totally have to check it out sometime.

End of the Endless

Oh man - oh man oh man, Good times. Thanks to everyone who came along! Thanks heaps and heaps, was good to see you all and meet you all. It was the first time I had actually seen everything together in the same room, true story. it was... colourful. But now over, kind of sad. I will sleep well this night! There are still a few available and looking for a good home and loving owner - so if you are keen like a bean let me know, email address is totally in my blog profile. Here are some pics for you of stuff:

Preparing the night before at home, that blue thing is a swiss ball, not art fyi.

A wall.

This other Wall

I like these ones.

Oh I also like these too.

Welcome Home

So I thought I'd show you a picture of our blue carpet and wardrobe doors - also this thing in front of it, one of the pieces in the upcoming exhibition. You see I was out walking this one time, I do that every now and then - walking - and I came across this old Kauri sign in an antique shop. So I brought it, and put paint on it. I call it 'welcome home' - It makes me think of the future, perhaps an old weathered warrior returning to his home planet just to discover that he is no longer welcome for some reason - perhaps because he has a bad case of intergalactic swine flu so they banish him to a distant moon to live out his days. Oh man, poor old weathered warrior.

Are You Coming To The Exhibition?

You totally should. Anybody who's anybody will be there... Well, that's what I'm telling everybody, then hopefully anybody will turn up.
There is a map below, you know, becasue... maps are good.

Warhol Skate Decks

Woah! I totally have to tell you guys about this. Alien Workshop are soon to release a series of Andy Warhol skate board decks. I'm totally going to get one and hang it on my wall, next to this Tokidoki deck that my wife got me for our anniversary (thanks wife, you are awesome btw). Then I will have two awesome decks on the wall, and I'll look at them and my eyes will go "yaaaa awesomeness overlooooad!!" and I'll have a look away for fear of going blind from the awesomeness. True story.

Time To Meet

Ok so, at the moment I'm working on a few digital pieces that will be limited edition Giclee prints, same theme - Pop Art, Benday dots etc, I love the solid colours, so obviously brushless!

Oh man, I actually quite like this piece - might use it for a new blog title, it needs an upgrade.

Where London Stood

I'm feeling pretty onto it at the moment, most things are sorted out for the exhibition including professionally printed invitations and even attractive volunteers to hand out the wine and food on the exhibition night, oh man! Totally sorted. Just a few smaller things to do, print title tags for each of the pieces, get some prints sorted, clip my toenails etc.

OMG

OMG
What more is there to say?

Never Enough

Oh man, I love these because they look like woodblock prints, something I've always wanted to do! Never Enough, alone these words have their own individual meaning, together something totally different. Deeeep.

Orbells Bijou

There is something about this one that has a real Lichtenstein feel about it, I think it's the fact that it's a big soppy kiss! Oh man, girly.

Building An Army

I'm having a hard time trying to work out how many pieces I'll need for the April exhibition, the gallery is a little bigger than last time! So far I have 11 canvases and a some smaller framed gear. 15? 15, yeah 15 sounds like a good number. At least 15.

1746

Searching For Ben

Oh man I love big canvases! But they can take forever. Another black and white painting, this one is quite happy chilling out on my wall at the moment.

The Caffiene Project

Speech bubbles, they are the coolest! Only trouble is you need to think of something interesting to write inside of them. Interesting things - they can be hard to think of sometimes.

Invite - check.
Come along if you're in the area!

Between The Flashes

Cold War

Bigger canvas = I love it. I was going to add some russian text into the blue panel at the top and the bottom, but it looks good enough with just the benday dots I recon!

Five Aspects Of Distraction

Ahhh so - Just got back from ten days chilling out on the Gold Coast, sleep in's, movies, shopping, BBQ's & beer. Good times. Anyways! Time to update this thing and let you know what I've been up to. I have another exhibition coming up in April, have I mentioned that already? As a result I have been working my legs off trying to produce paintings at a rapid rate, that way I will hopefully have enough interesting stuff to cover the gallery walls!

Below - I have made a series of five images, watercolour and ink. I quite like this image, might use it as the image for the invitations?

A Full Sky

So like, colour is very cool, but there is still something about black and white that I totally love.

1746

The Trial

So, I am wondering to myself - where can I get sheets of perforated paper?

Mrs Manhattan

If Dr Manhattan had a wife, she might look like this, but perhaps glowing a wee bit.

1746

Take & Ignore

Last two in a series of four.

So! Anyways, I have another exhibition coming up in April! It will be totally different stuff though, this time it will be more of a tribute to old comic books and Benday dots. Four months and all I have so far is pretty must just ideas, time to paint like a madman.

1746

A New Direction

So after reading about Roy Lichtenstein during the exhibition, I have been totally inspired to do something similar, here it is! Oh man, I love how it turned out! It's a bit of a tangent from the ink paintings, but I think I'll try and complete a series of paintings like this. Colour is a pretty cool invention.

On the wall at home!
