Here's some screenies from a project I've been working on with the very talented Dan Preston and Jonny Goldcoast from Asuza. It's some kind of strange take their tshirt prints and concepts and turn them into moving things + other bits video project type thing.

Pinecone-faced Cat Levitators, I've been listening to these songs all week. Extremely well crafted pop songs.

You can now buy T-Shirts that I designed, with my brain from thehinitiative.
All proceeds go to Plunket, which is where you go when you're a baby to get weighed or whatever and pee on people's shoes.

Update: Best quote ever.
"Those posters were so successful, that most venues had to reprint their own as the originals were mostly stolen.
People also wanted to buy copies from the merch desk, and a lot of people showed up with then wanting them signed. "
– Scott Newth.
By the way, I'm keen to get a blog going called Conductment of research foundation, which will force myself to do more research. Anyone keen to join?

Not my greatest work, although I like the background pattern, might do something more with it later. Anyways, come on down and help people out by partying.

Check out Freshly Baked Gallery for the future of art, cause it's all like a gallery but in cyberspace. Some of the work from the 'Geist' Collabo vs show dealio thing is up for sale there. You should buy it so I can pay my kid's dental bills. Not that I have kids.

This picture is based on a Wellington resident secretly known by girls as "Upside-Down Triangle Man. I held onto this picture for quite a while because I thought it wasn't finished, then I realised it was. So yeah. Now I can move on to wet hair, amethyst, tesla and tinsel.

This is a concept I'm putting together for an entry in to the Semi Permanent Book, it'll probably get denied on the grounds of stupidity, but what the hell.
