by the way
I saw the Type show, I really liked Atome's work. Very nice style and flow, he has created something Islamic and open to interpretation, The line work worked on its own and then the dimension kicked in that was a great effect and hard to pull off but worked. Great! I think the colour pallette really worked to, he really stood out from the pack. The collaboration by Dmote and Merda was good as well but not particularly different, great show. Definitely a hipster vibe but nice as well.
A Type of Show
I popped into Darlinghurst and saw "a Type of Show", it is very good if you get a chance pop in, I especially liked Atome's work.
Rip jcee
I am sorry to hear of Jcee passing away. He was a great painter, I wish his family and friends well in this difficult time, Sydney graffiti has lost one of it's best. Irreplaceable. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
Hit by a bus
I was hit by a bus. I started a new art based site to highlight my art practice including video-stills, video, digital zines as well as printed zines and anything ridiculous that comes to mind including my aerosol work named after me!!!!! http://derekjamescarter.com gosh I am wonderful. I can't wait to blather away. I will mainly keep this site graffiti only and cut down on the blah blah. Thanks for visiting and keep visiting there will be lots of graff stuff coming soon, I want to put up my old bud MrDoze as well.
stereotypes
Graffiti has had many negative stereotypes projected onto it, but it also encourages stereotypes, cliches. The technical mastery is boundless, so great to see. Territorial pissing is a low blow especially when it came from an elitist like Hughes. Wouldn't you want to piss on a piece of the urban world to make it yours? What can you have if not some contact with the world you live in? Some connection. The elite don't want to see scribble or other mania. The condition of property is never open, it is closed. The door is not open, you try and pry it open, is there nothing behind it to see? All we can do is piss, piss on the doors.
artist talk
Gave artist talk at the Vanishing point, went very well. The art of pissing on walls and the art of jumping fences...taking back space!!!
the expanding universe
The universes expansion has been calculated to its most accurate, can our minds expand to keep up?
Trying
trying to pull my videos a touch further, its a bit slapdash so far but I want to refine them and create stories/effects/ideas/things/stuff/ I want to work on the sound more too to get it to carry the pieces so a lot of work to do. Should do some graff in a week or so too, looking forward to it.
show
Zap installation, my video. It was a great show, I was outclassed a bit by some of the work but I had very awkward and challenging work which someone has to do, very happy
android and ios tablet
I got to see some Android tablets, not bad, very tech. They have "this is technology" written all over them, the interface is still pretty point and click with arrows to go back etc. I personally prefer the iPad as it is not so tech, simple to use, but I like the Android tech vibe, they would be great for fiddling with and seeing how you could get different versions of Linux on them even though Android is from Linux I would like to see Ubuntu rocking on one....nice
youtube
Hi people, I have put my videos back up on youtube user djc1rjc I fixed sound so it is all original rather than other music. Pretty good, pretty crazy!!!!! Check it out!!!!
