Hey all,
During the NoVacancy show I did this little diddy. Thought some one out there might like to use it. Its a relitively Hi-Res image of a book mark I drew. Just print it out at actual size, trim and wallah! Malicious bookmark.
It should be obvious but I DO NOT give permission for this image to be used in any way other then for personal bookmark usage. It is Copyrighted etc etc, so no you can’t use it for any form of commercial use.
Sorry about the BS, Enjoy!
Hey all,
looks like I’m getting the opportunity to show my work again! Kustom Lane in Hawthorn is having a group showing over the next 5ish weeks leading up to their next show - Choppers and Bobbers. No theme on this one, just a show us what you’ve got show, I guess you’d say. I’ll have my The Good, The Bad and The Undead series as well as a few others on show. If you have some time between 13 June and 12 July, head on down to Kustome Lane and check the show out!
A mate of mine, Justin Maller, is has a solo show opening up tomorrow (Friday 5 June) which is running for a week. You may know him from Depthcore and a bunch of other shiz. Any how here’s the invite, check it out his work is solid gold;

So I’ve been using the new CS4 over the past couple of days and I’ve noticed that the pathfinder has gone completely wack. No I don’t mean the whole compound path thing. For those that don’t know pathfinder has gone back to the good old days when a pathfinder result was a clean ‘expanded’ path not a compound path. Maybe because I’ve been using it for ages I always held down alt/option to skip the compound path and go straight to the ‘expaned’ path. The new cs4 its the other way round; default is expanded, alt/option gives you the compound path.
What I’m talking about the fact that 99% of the time when you use one of the top row pathfinder options with one or more objects that have more the half a dozen points, it peaks out and just gives you a tiny two or three point aborted brain fart of a result. This has been a source or ENDLESS frustration for me over the past few days and has really stunted my creative process. BUT HELP HAS ARIVED! I’ve worked out that you can get around this but making the trouble some pathfinder into a compound path (hold alt/option while clicking on the pathfinder option you want, minus front etc) then expanding it.
Works a charm and saves A BUTT LOAD of frustration. Don’t believe me try it 
Now if only I could work out why its screwing up when I mask objects with a decent amount of points I’d actually be happy with it, because besides these two (MAJOR PAIN IN THE A$&@) glitches, its actually a massive improvement over CS3. If you have any clues to solving my ‘Masking’ prob pipe up! Save my sanity! PLEASE!
Well its not an alcohol hangover, just on the come down after the exhibition. It was really great to be showing my work in a public forum, even if it wasn’t a true show. Unfortunately with the ups come the downs and I’m feeling the post exhibition hangover now. I’m trying to tackle it by finishing this fkn website (!) and after that charging head long into some new art. Problem is with every slow down in art I hit, I find myself draw (no pun intended) to modifying cars! Its so fkn addictive, there really is nothing like cuttin’, weldin’ and wrenchin’. So here is my plan, draw modified car! Simple eh.
Anyway I’m getting off track, here are some pics of my recent exhibition space and the opening night. A bit of a tease until I get the gallery up, hopefully by the end of the weekend.
Can I remove this post after I find out that it works? Will I remove or even edit this first obligatory test post in a vain attempt to cover my ’site building process’ from the general populous?
All this and more will be answered… soon. I hope.
