'Underway is the only way' Exhibition

'Underway is the only way' at Surf N' Ink  is an exhibition I helped Jianna Lucia curate on the Gold Coast earlier this month.

I had hoped to have some artwork ready for it but all the organisation, troubleshooting etc, unfortunately didn't leave me enough time to create something in time.

On the whole the exhibit and event was wonderful! aside from the amazing art and live painters, the convention hosted some of the worlds best tattoo artists, roller derby, kickboxing and more.

Sweet Streets at WWA Gallery

Sweet Streets self titled show at WWA Gallery in LA looks like it was a splendid night from all the photos I have seen so far.
Here is an article in the LA Weekly to give you a taste

Fashion parade, Spank and Chubby Bunny pop up shop and some wonderful kawaii art.

And keep your eye out for a lady called Macotic

So here is some detail from my piece Jemergium

Between water and land

I got it in my head the other day to watch Lady in the water again, made in 2006.

It's not a great title, and it is a little bit cheesey but really quite beautiful.

It a tale about a sea nymph/mermaid who comes to awaken inspiration in an individual, and finds it hard to return home.

It differs a little from your standard mermaid movie, although she is a sea nymph there are no fish tails or seashell pasties.

It's a tale about feminine powers and inspiration, about innocence, subtlety, beauty, vulnerability and togetherness.
The soundtrack is also very atmospheric and wondrous.
Its a bit slow to begin with but it creeps up on you, do watch if you haven't already!

Every girl is a mermaid, wet and longing on the inside,

like the ocean reaching out to caress the shore♡

BTW prints of the painting  I did in June last year called Escenta are available here
"The outcome of Narwhal sperm and Mermaid eggs mixing in the white foam of the ocean, she makes pearls for her lovers"

  "Non solo kawaii" means "not only kawaii" and it's a website dedicated to Kawaii culture, which means "cute", and to everything that could be kawaii, even indirectly, and that's the reason why we call it "non solo" (not only).
Art, Fashion, Design and Place where we can find culture of the Cute.
