Upcoming Show: Will Barras 'Bad Reception'

Very excited to hear about Will Barras' upcoming show at Stolen Space next month. If you are unfamiliar with the work of Will Barras, then check his blog here: Will Barras

BOS ONE says:......'HE'S THE BEST!.....NUFF'

Info from Stolen Space Galley (London)

Will Barras 'Bad Reception'

29.10.10 - 14.11.10

"Will Barras’ composition and fluid lines provide poignant detail in liquid abstraction. The subject matter is readily familiar, but captured in a manner that seems to jar time and space with psychedelic abstraction. It is his way of expressing the emotional movements of this labour. It is therapy and pleasure and necessity. Though Will is more passionate about Cricket, and even the art of the poached egg than he is of Skate or Snowboarding, he is hailed as one of the visual artists who best represents these influential creative movements. This is not only an indicator of his prolific work rate and good nature, his artwork featuring on all types of boards, clothes and mural campaigns, but more so of his unique voice, technical competency and sense of exploration."
Harlan Levey, Modart Magazine

ILL BILL Vs DJ Muggs - New Album

Quasimoto Vinyl Toy From Kidrobot 2009

Found this the other day..... I want one.

Heres the (old) blurb from Stones Throw:

'Kid Robot and Stones Throw have teamed up for the Quasimoto figure, which will be released February 19, 2009. The Quasimoto figure is 8-inches tall, available in equal quantities of yellow and blue, each with a brick and spliff “cigarette.”

The hip-hop artist Quasimoto (aka Lord Quas) was created by Madlib. He has released two albums, The Unseen and The Further Adventures of Lord Quas, a collection of singles, and guest appearances on albums by Madvillain and Jaylib. The Quasimoto figure is based on the character drawn by Jeff Jank'.

'Distance Travelled' - New Group Show Featuring Dicy, Acer & Ziml

A new exhibition - 1st October - 5th October 2010 Centrespace Gallery, Bristol

"What effects do the environments we live in and travel through have on our past, present and future?

Following the impact of their Triple Drop show, Dicy, Acer and Ziml return to take over the Bristol Centrespace Gallery in the first week of October 2010.

'Expect to see a hybrid of graphic styles moving through abstract painting, photographic techniques and wildstyle letterforms, with underlying themes inspired by the artist’s life experiences and the effects that they have had upon them. All three artists will explore the conscious and unconscious relationships between their past, present and future lives through the use of contemporary and sometimes unorthodox imagery, whilst maintaining an ever-present aesthetic connection to their roots in the world of graffiti.

'Whether working on the streets, in derelict warehouses or in conventional art galleries, Dicy, Acer and Ziml’s work continues to illuminate and re-define the boundaries of what can be considered graffiti or street art, and their latest works challenge these perceptions even further. Distance Travelled is a powerful body of work that depicts strong elements of each artist’s individual style and creativity, whilst connecting the traditional with the unfamiliar in an unconventional way'.

The Best Game of All Time........ Shadow of the Colossus

I've put this up here to show Big BOS (Brother of BOS ONE) exactly what I keep banging onto him about. I want him to give some considerable thought into firstly buying a TV, then dusting off his old PS2 and rocking SOTC to the fullest. Someone actually commented on Youtube that this game is better than sex. Not sure he's completely accurate but he ain't far wrong!

Everyone Read 'Vlad The Impaler' by Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon

Just finished reading this rather gripping fact based tale of Vlad the Impaler. (Wiki that shizz)

Expect plenty of blood, gore, violence, sex and sword play. I can fully recommend this read for all you S.O.B's out there who enjoy the darker side of history.

Jake and Dinos Chapman Piece @ SHOWstudio (LDN)

My grandpa went to see hell and all I got was this lousy souvenir

JAKE AND DINOS CHAPMAN, 2004

Polyester resin | enamel paint | plinth
4.7 x 8.2 x 4.1 inches | 12 x 21 x 10.5 cm

£ 20,000

This beautifully crafted sculpture depicts a spear being thrust into the thigh of a Nazi soldier as another lies in pieces at his feet. Its strange to see such a toy like object portraying such a graphic scene of violence.

If you are in London, go and check out SHOWstudio for a closer look. (Part of the ICON Design Trail 2010)

Graf Artist Petro With a New Print Release via POW

Petro

World-renowned and prolific, Petro has a cult following, despite keeping a low profile and generally avoiding the limelight. His lifetime mission has been to put the fun back into graffiti, by injecting personality into his animated style of painting.

These were made by painting onto acetate and processing the screen directly from that, in the hope of really capturing his hand style. And like Petro’s street work, these come in a bewildering array of colours...

25 of each colour way, ninety pound each.

Artists Painting On Prosthetics....Yes Please!

BRISBANE POWERHOUSE AND SPARE PARTS PRESENT

SPARE PARTS

TUE 9 NOV - SUN 5 DEC 2010

Spare Parts is an exhibition that will bring together a diverse range of artists all using pre-loved prosthetic limbs as their canvas.

As an exhibition Spare Parts will create and promote about 40 individual pieces of art and parallel to this, a positive and open conversation about prosthetics.

All too often prosthetics are considered a taboo subject, and Spare Parts aims to celebrate both their beauty and purpose.

The diversity of artists is a very important component of the exhibition as is their interpretation of each limb. Those involved range from a world class graffiti artist, tattooists, a poet, painters, comic artists, to one of Australia’s most popular up and coming sculptors. Beyond the traditional scope of “what is art” Spare Partswill also include a fashion designer, a milliner, a jeweller and a cobbler.

Spare Parts is funded by Queensland Government Department of Communities, Disability Services.

Artists:

Andrea Smith / Anthony Lister / Aureole / Jeweller to the Lost (Barbara Heath, Malcolm Enright, Juan-Luis Gonzalez) / Beastman / Ben Sea / Breanna Stewart / Briellen Baker / Bunya Curan / Carmella Ruffino / Clint Steele / Erica Gray / Fleur Beserk / Giles Kilham / Glenn Brady / Jase Harper / John Semmens / J-Stew / Karl Huttenmeister / Kasino / Kitty Horton / Ky Curran / Lincoln Austin / McKelly / Mandy Beaumont / Marcel Lip – Awake in Dreams / Matt Palmer / Mel Stringer / nico / Pendragon Shoes / Priscilla Sutton / Rachi Brains / Sally McRae / Sandra Rose / Satta Van Daal / Stephen Mok / Stuart Crampton / The Grates / Tim Rix / Terry Kerns / 2ha + Sarabelle/ Village Atheist/ Will Kelly
