STREET ART ZINE and sketch.

2009-05-11T02:32:00.000-07:00

I have been taking lots Photos of the street Art here, Its a gold mine. once you starting looking you find it everywhere. infact i have never actualy seen anyone stick or paste or spray anything, but their must be hordes of people doing it at some time. so i guess it must be at night or really early in the morning or something.

so i love the stickers and stencils the most, most tags are pretty lame. but there is a few good ones here and there.

I dont know who the artists are of some of these stickers and pasties, but they get around. i keep finding the same artists in all sorts of crazy nooks and behind and under things.

Their seems to be a few rulez, like no tagging gov buildings and new shiny walls.

so i have put all my 1 megapixel photos into my own zines. So far i have made about 5 copies an 2 issues.

if anyone would like one, please email me your address and i will send you a Zine if you send me something.(surprise me)

other wise i will keep making them for the sake of my own enjoyment.

here are issues 1 and 2.

also heres a call to anyone that might be able to help.....

please help me get in touch with some of these amazing artists!

This is a new sketch i did a few days ago.

more walking and drawing.

2009-05-11T02:03:00.000-07:00

i walked from shinjuku to shibuya and around between the two.

This is city

is filled with iconic images waiting to be photographed.

i found a cool gallery

with a selection of japanese artists and others. here is 2 images of Clay Models. quite large.... they look strangely real.

the name tag is for the girl in red. it would be nice to sell your work for 6000 dollers a piece.

i really like the blue guy.

it has so much life and coolness in it.

actually it oozes coolness.

Monday:

Its hot...its humid, its tokyo summer almost!

so i lay in front of the steiro with some new cds i got from the ¥100 box. i had picked some good ones! lucky because i buy random cds if i like the cover artwork!

someone made me a very strong coffie and buzzed the rest of the day with the tunes and artwork.

also i chucked on some Andy and george band who i miss greatly and i have know split! ;-( so that was nice to listen to.

anyway today im working a new large artwork.

its quite a different size to what im used to.

so there is alot of paper to cover and problem solving to be done.

i will post a picture of this work soon.

Walking

2009-05-08T03:04:00.000-07:00

2009-05-06T00:17:00.000-07:00

Today i drew a lot of Postcards to sell online.

This is heaps of fun.

Yesterday i had a Market stall in my local Park, Inokashirakoen.

Every Weekend there is a fantastic Art Market with everything from

buskers to creative people doing their thing!!

i sold a few pictures, drew quite a few more, had some great chats and spoke my simple japanese to anyone that would listen.

also i had the chance to meet some of the other people at the market.

There is such an amazing variety of Artists at the market and everyone is so passionate.

i feel so happy to be able to join in.

Here some of the People who sell their Art works at the Park.
