Its great to have a Muse, Hiatus Kaiyote Mural

Fancy that! they actually came to check out the mural :D

Music funnily enough is a great muse for artwork and for the past year I've listening to a lot of Hiatus Kaiyote. After hearing their album on Gilles Peterson last year it became an instant hit with me. There jazziness, funkiness and overall really well tailored contemporary sound was really refreshing and always put me in a happy mood when making work...

So I when i heard that they were coming from Melbourne Australia to do a gig Round the corner from where I HAD to do something.

?WAT! was created.

After getting turned down by the venue we had to come up with our own plan... and all I can say is that  I felt hapz to see that they liked it!

Thanks for the shout-out Nai Palm! I actually was gonna call it Mobius-Streak ha ha.

realising the importance of just creating out of love and sheer inspiration... just do it! these guys make amazing music, and it reminds me of how much i appreciate being a creative! I can just make something back!

Well done on the record deal!

Journey from East To South... Whitechapel and Wapping

Heres my work for the Journey from east to south #100wordpilgrimage project.

Its an expansion of the project Beddow n Battini started last year. this Time We made the work and Hatched Gallery curated. If you download App Aurasma onto your smart Devise and Follow 100wordpilgrimage. you will find something special!

This piece is the more traditional Wumzum aesthetic, with a real emphasis on perspective and warping. a lot of fun to animate :D I live in Whitechapel... this piece sort of talks about the Secret Vietnamese community....

The second piece was based around Wapping. A particular area of Wapping where the shard is visible and you cross Tobacco Dock. I really wanted to experiment with the way I piece things together. its sort of a new approach that Im taking with a lot of my work.

Jack Petchey Award

So We Won an Award!

Adeeb all smug and Me NASHING!!!

BeddownBattini Was a creative Collective started by myself and Adeeb Warren. An artist and a Writer starting an art collective with a specific angle on strying to tell stories. Both Londoners, Both hung out in the same areas, liked the same films, introduced each other to all sorts of music, and both had stories we wanted to create.

The City was a Great influence and as well as big films and features, our most inspiring ventures were always the projects/exhibitions that people we knew and were connected to. Whether it be an exhibition at a local cafe, a pop up shop show, or Monorex Streetart Projects, It was always things that people started from ground up that really made us want to just make things happen, and get others involved.


So when we got BnB started we made sure we utilized the networks we had, and made new ones through them too. Its really a good idea to Know what all yah friends are up to if your a young person. especially in the arts. Around this time we were also in a year out and doing a lot of work with a youth empowering charity called Envision. Its always good to have worked with a charity before :) We Did designs, films, and talks with them.

So whats the Award about then???
