The Endless Disappearance of Everything - Film by Nathan Punwar



Here's a link to a short documentary about my work, specifically the mural on India Street, made by Nathan Punwar. Each of us 6 mural artists was assigned a filmmaker, selected via an open call by Moviehouse, and the 6 films (How the Mural Got Made) were screened on September 8th at the mural site (see pics here).

I really love the film, even though its always a little embarrassing to hear myself speak, especially about my work. Its wonderful how he made all my little characters come to life. The visual collage element is really cool.

Current inspiration

With regards to the previously mentioned Wassaic Project piece, I've been looking at the work of the following awe-inspiring artists:


Sarah Moli Newton Applebaum who also has the best name ever.


Julien Vallee


Shintaro Miyake

Stay tuned for how I shamelessly copy these great artists in my next installation - to be complete August 14th!

Pattern and Colour

In the process of creating a piece for The Wassaic Project I've been fiddling around with wood, paint and foam. Having fun taking pics of things in various formations. More to come!





Letterpress Notecards on Etsy!




Back in May I made some letterpress notecards of some of my older characters. I printed them at The Arm, a letterpress studio in Williamsburg (I took a day-long class there sometime last year but only just got around to using my new skills). I sold a lot of these at Bushwick Open Studios and have been meaning to put the rest up on my etsy shop ever since, and now I've finally done it!

Buy them here.

India Street Mural Project

I spent the whole month of June (at least on days when it wasn't raining, which was rare) painting a mural in Greenpoint, as part of the India Street Mural Project organised by the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition. Its located on India Street between West St. and the East River (Greenpoint Ave G Train).

The launch party is this Saturday. There will be food, music and games!

Silent Auctions this week

I'm in two silent auctions this week. The first is a fundraiser for the North Brooklyn Public Art Coalition's India Street Mural Project, of which I am a participating artist (the mural is almost finished! Will post pictures when its done). This is the piece I donated. Its the beginning of my thought process towards an installation I will be making about the Minotaur for The Wassaic Project this August (so excited about this!).


The second is to benefit one of my favourite local galleries, Cinders. Here's the piece I'm donating for that. I'm getting really into collage.
