Interview…update!
Just a little reminder, if you happen to come across a Niigata-Nippo Yukan today (Saturday); my interview should be inside… In the meantime, here is the latest progress on my kagemusha piece. It’s coming along now, just a we bit more….
本日４月２４日（土）発行の新潟日報夕刊にてショーンのインタビュー記事が掲載されます！今までのヒストリーや、日本に来てからの活動、アートワーク（写真）など載るはず？！（内容はまだ確認してませんが）是非チェックして下さいませ！！今日の写真は、先週のアートワークの経過です！だいぶ上に上がって来ました。本丸まであと少し！！鉄子
Do not enter…
Kevin Bauman has documented something awesome in Detroit, Michigan, in his series 100 Abondoned Houses. I was immediately drawn to the decay of the brick and weatherboard houses; they ooze character and mystery. I guess the pictures I have been drawing recently have something in common with these abandoned homes. They teeter precariously, on the verge of collapse. Anyway, that’s enough fluff. Enjoy the photos!
Looking for inspiration…
If you have a spare minute, or even an hour; the Behance Network has a beta site cleanly displaying all sorts of creative artists work. I haven’t taken the time to look thru the process of creating a portfolio with them, (because there are so many great images to look at!) but if you wanted to get your stuff up online; it would be a great place to try out. It’s just so clean!
While I was having a good time and working hard in Melbourne last year for the ReUnite & Transmute pop-up show with Ghostpatrol, I met with lots of super folks interested in art and creative stuff. It was an unforgettable experience and I sure learned a great deal too; like how to repair windows with masking tape, skateboard, and where to get a good Japanese katsudon on Smith Street, Fitzroy. I also met a fellow interested in selling my art online. Well, his site, On The Wall has just been updated and some of my previous digital works are available for purchase now in the shop. There are 5 18cm x 13cm prints available and I hope to be able to add some new digital based illustrations to the folio in the near future.
Many thanks. Sean.
Scott Anderson…
Was just browsing through my favourite creative blog changethethought, and was blown away by the painting of Scott Anderson. His work mixes a lot of pop and iconic imagery, everyday items, animals, and things from the environment to make chaotic alternative dimension national geographic moments. It’s great stuff. And you should check it out.
Interview…
Recently I was lucky enough to be interviewed by the Niigata Nippo Newspaper at my studio for an article on young creative people in the Takada area. It was fantastic to be selected (from an already well established group of creatives) as an artist that draws inspiration from the Takada region. If you have been checking out my blog and gallery recently, you will have seen Teramachi and some of the shrine drawings I have been working on. They are based mostly on things I have seen in and around the area; the shrines, temples, showa-era signage and peculiar gardens and graveyards that back onto Takada’s main street…and will probably be featured in the article too. The newspaper is due out on Friday 23th of this month, complete with photos of me looking goofy in front of some of my work. The paper is available at most convenience stores in Niigata city, but only in some newsagents in Joetsu.
先日、ショーンが新潟日報夕刊の取材を受けました。場所は本人のアトリエで。内容は過去から現在に行われているアート活動、オーストラリアでの展示会、上越や海外での今後の活動予定などなど！！発行は４月２３日（金）です。詳しい内容はまた後日UPします！鉄子でした！
Mind expanding pixels…
As a long time fan and owner of way too many 8bit cartridges, it was hard to resist the urge to post this. Amazing is what it is. All kudos to ghostpatrol for alerting me to the invasion, and Onemoreprod / Patrick Jean for being genius’.
Slow?..snails are slow…
If you have been tuning in recently, I apologise for the lack of news updates. It’s been a slow news week not too mention slow month in the studio. Last time I posted I was sketching some more temples. Well, there has been some development on that front in the last few days. And I can’t help myself, I have to get something up and show you what’s going on. As long as my right wrist remains it’s supple self, I should have this one done by middle of next week.
お久しぶりです。鉄子です。Seanの「Teramachi」コンセプトの第２段スタートしました！
本人いわく「俺の影武者」だそうです。完成は来週中？の予定です。お楽しみに！
Updates…
Have been sketching and mucking about with ink a fair bit recently. If you are interested in seeing what I have been up too, check my flickr here.
Amazing…and independent…
I don’t tend to spend a great deal of time on Youtube, but, I did find this little gem today while procrastinating with a cup of coffee. What’s even more surprising about this video (apart from it being just plain awesome) is that it was made at home. Kudos to this guy. You can see more of his work here. Nice little doosy in the background too.
