2009-10-14T17:03:00.000-07:00

I think in retrospect, this piece has been inspired by 2 of my favourite artists, SMAK and Grotesk, not to mention the amazing designs and emotions portrayed in the original book illustrations by Maurice Sendak.

As a story involving monsters in a childs fantasy, the original earthy colours have been juxtaposed with how i see a contemporary interpretation of how these WILD THINGS would be .

Can't wait for the movie!

On other news, i just wrapped up another animation contract on 'MARTHA SPEAKS season 2'. So hopefully i will have time to keep this blog updated, and i welcome this time off to play around with other mediums, and artistic expressions of interest. Maybe i'll finish a comic....

BAY AREA LOVE

2009-08-24T00:16:00.000-07:00

Big big big love out to Sneaker blog BAY AREA KICKS.

To be honest, I do what i do mostly as introspective pieces to help discover more about me. My personal work reflect subjective thoughts and emotions, sometimes conceptual, hopefully progressive; so really, at the end of the day if you hate what i do, it ain't no sweat to me.

ALTHOUGH, when you get shown mad love, it's super humbling. Thank you to sneaker blog BAY AREA KICKS for wanting to link me at their site! From what i can tell, these guys are on top of their game when it comes to keepin up to date with shoe biz!

Penticton Show: Mayhem x Krime

2009-07-31T17:38:00.001-07:00

Penticton is the home town of partner in KRIME, so were fortunate to have some stuff put into the art gallery there as part of a collective show. These are inked illustrations that were photocopied and coloured with markers, then mounted on foam board.

The opening of the show was a great excuse for me to travel east into the interior Okanagan, so i hopped on a Greyhound (without armour neck support and chest plates) and did just that. Lots of mishief went down, perhaps i'll post some pictures in comming updates.

IF____was ASIANEEZ (and had beards): Marvel series by mayhem x krime

2009-06-03T23:55:00.000-07:00

This was a series of 4 which were unvieled at the Studio B art show. The marvel series consists of Captain America, Wolverine, Thor and Hulk. This series however, was unique as i teamed up with buddy KRIME, who decided to push the concept further by adding his trademark beard tag on them.

Each image was printed on card stock, sans facial features and beards. The latter details were added on afterwards with markers and correction fluid. Of the four pieces, KRIME was the illustrator of the HULK piece, where in turn i bearded him up.

Possibly more collabs down the road.

love,

I would type all about it, but i'm afraid there might be too many adjectives for this one post alone, so if you see me in person, just ask me about it. In short, my body is exhausted, but my mind is refreshed.

Thank you Portland and SF for the good times.

I'd like to imagine that instead of being paranoid about wearing glasses, you can wrap these on and let the symbiote frames give you the courage to serve justice where justice needs to be served. Yeah i read comic books, WITH glasses, and what...?

Pusher's are pussy's.

2009-04-15T02:37:00.001-07:00

This is a flip of the new Punisher Movie poster.
I noticed that i could flip the title to make 'pusher' when i was copying the poster for illustration practice and thought i would run with the idea. So now the main character of this piece is some badass drug pusher, who sells you drugs, and takes your money and blood for trade, but under all that bullsh!t thug exterior, his preying on the weak make him a pussy (coz he likes the floral's).

Thanksumlots for looking!

I'm not too sure what's happening with Joaquin Phoenix these days, but i'm intrigued.

So this image is made up with 2 main colours, red for the BG, and blue for the FG. Then i put a red overlay of paint texture over the top, which allows the blue from underneath to show through; resulting in the purplish which merges the layer as a whole, yet still keeps enough contrast.

You can find pictures of JP boasting his knuckles with the words 'BYE!/GOOD'. I chose to flip it so that the audience can understand the context of what's happening with him, and I've decided to use the word 'Ca$h' as a metaphor for a character he has portrayed and a generic theme often found in rap music. The image of a phoenix in the BG also clues in on who the subject matter is.

THanks

Flattery at its worst!!!

2009-02-09T00:16:00.000-08:00

Back in May2008, i posted a image of a Shoe illustration part of a competition i had entered. http://votemayhem.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-sneaker-stuff-mooks-art-comp.html

I was flattered when a company in the Netherlands, Farfromthesame, asked if they could use it for a line of clothes they had in mind. I said no, unless certain (fair) requirements where met.

Just found out they went ahead with it anyways...no credit to me...not a cent!!!

I just got bitten! Now what?! Angry email on its way.

Though it did come out pretty sweet, i might buy one from their online store. They gotem in men and women tees too.

CONCRETE JUNGLE- contest- fail

2008-12-01T23:47:00.000-08:00

Hi friends,

I entered a competition for a Skate board DVD package to be called 'CONCRETE JUNGLE', not too long ago posted on Animation community site, MYTOONS.com.

My entry made semi's which is pretty rad, but i just got word that i did not make finals. Contrats to the other finalists and best of luck.

It was suggested by a friend that i could have contrasted the foreground characters and the BG characters abit more. Feel free to rip into it...I insist!

Check out the finalists here:

MAYHEM x DANNY TREJO

2008-11-07T00:58:00.000-08:00

With the time off at hand, i decided to take up a screen printing course (something i've always wanted to do).

I would like to present the OH-FO-SHO, MAYHEM x DANNY TREJO Tee.

For those of you that might not recognize the character on fabric, Danny Trejo is typically seen as the latin, tatooed, baddass, looking mofo's onscreen(tv/movies). Most recently he starred as 'Machette', in one of Rob Rodriguez fake trailers for 'Planet Terror'.

I hear he's actully a really nice guy in real life.

Simona Wong x Mayhem

2008-07-14T01:21:00.000-07:00

I had first met Simona Wong a couple of years ago. We were both young, i was arrogant, she was nieve. We were different people, but we both knew that we were creatives at heart.

Lifes journey continued for the both of us. Different places, different faces, same passionate drive.

A few months back when i was in Sydney, i was suprised when friend Simona Wong asked for an interview with me for an article she was writing.

This interview with Simona opened my eyes and gave me the chance to reflect on who i was, who i am and who i want to be; as a person and artist.

I see the importance of humility in what i say, how i act, and what i do. there is no point when an artist can be content with what they do. There is always so much more to learn, more to explore, more to fail. For me; its encouraging.

As for Simona, it had been years since i last saw her. She interviews me with a confidence and a charm. She is beautiful; grown ready to share her passion and talent with the world.

Her article can be found:

Enjoy.
