The flyers a little out of date, but Ellen Jewett's sculptures of fantastical animals really stood out to me this past weekend...

Revok Interview Video
EIKNARF Presents: "Revok: On The Run" from EIKNARF.
Join EIKNARF as he presents a rare glimpse into the mind of Los Angeles graffiti veteran and The Seventh Letter aerosol ambassador Revok of the MSK crew. Revok speaks on his earliest memories of writing, finding ways to keep spray paint stocked, the reason Seventh Letter exists and how he feels the culture he literally risks his freedom for is being exploited by brands and companies...I wish the video was a little longer to be honest!

I posted about StyleKonstruktor a year ago and just wanted to show you some of their newest stuff. The crew from Moscow continue to push the boundaries of letter-form with their blend of 3D and Cyrillic and Roman alphabets.....
Country Gardens on the West Coast
The traditional style of a country garden is always bountiful, colourful and planted informally!
This was originally written by Christopher Lloyd in his book "The Cottage Garden" and further promoted by Gillian Rattray in a lovely South African book "In a Country Garden" which is illustrated in watercolours.
I painted two West Coast homes of neighbours last year, both homes which showed a profusion of foliage that is in harmony with the fynbos that surrounds the plots. Many indigenous plants are available at nurseries, so one can easily incorporate them. This is a wise decision as such plants are waterwise and can withstand periods of drought. Examples of such plants are the bright red Watsonia coccinea, white Zantedescia aethiopica (calla or arum lily) and lovely orange Salvia lanceolata.
Gardeners of course, also use artistic licence, so we love to incorporate lavender and daisies into our gardens and other natural looking plants that will blend in and not spread into the fynbos, as you will notice in my paintings!

Well, Happy New Year all! First painting for the year - YAY! I know it took a while but it just feels wrong to be painting over Xmas & New Year...I feel too guilty....it is family quality time instead....
Anyway, this painting is for all the childhood memories of rainforests from the camping trips I was dragged on by my dad.....always fascinated by the the ropy root, mossy carpets, lacy ferns, alien fungi....stuff spilling out of every available crevice!
Enjoy ;o)

The Best Kaws Collection In The World
Ronnie Pirovino can lay claim to be owner of the greatest collection of Kaws art, toys and merchandise that exists on this planet. He has just moved into a new (massive) home in LA and is in the process of decorating it with most of his personal collection of Kaws....that's alot of money (well-spent?)
