Youth Culture in South West China

Down in Yunnan, South West China province that lacks the development, sophistication and infrastructure of eastern China (shanghai, beijing etc) the youth are attending military camp, not smoking in bus shelters. Notice how keen iggy was to see the spectacle, at the risk of being arrested and deported for spying!

Light Visual Relief

And now for something completely different: Matilda made some Jelly. This just makes a nice image...

Postcard from Shanghai (Moganshan Rd)

Peeps live on the 2nd floor of the end house, and throughout the rest of the block. A common sight in shanghai is people living in traditional housing as the rooms around them are ripped down to make way for whatever...

And this is just the type of dude who lives there- god knows what he hawks, but its more or less a wooden plank with a small motor at one end. Polishing, grinding - god knows!

Urban Lust mini project

As well as featuring in the new exhibition at Island6, I was asked to design the invite for the exhibition. My only guidelines were that it should not be a piece of existing work...

I spent yesterday at Moganshan Road testing then implementing my concept which I hope conveys the essence of the title... It was very addictive being out with the 'shaky cans' and the stencils... may experiment with this tecnique further









Thanks to Zane Mellupe at Island 6 for the support and for taking the pictures...
