Posh Cookie Tycoon

I painted this dood live during the third instalment of the Wax Lab open deck sesh.

We thought it would be funny to have a Cookie Monster being caged by the weight of his addiction. The posh snake raises a familiar image of our own corporations in charge.

A close up gallery from my solo show.

I've realised that I don't post enough shots of the details from my work. It's all super detailed but that's tricky to convey online. So I'm posting a buch of close ups from each of my animals.

Custom Surfboard Painting

A mate and I started shaping surfboards just over a year ago in my mums garage. This is one of the latest designs that Samo had a stab at shaping. He was kind enough to let me unleash my poscas on his freshly glassed ride. The results were pretty great I thought.
