The crowning glory of the current “Oddfellows” show at Stranger Factory is the collaborative sculpture between myself and the astonishingly talented Chet Zar. A tower of robot and monster goodness. Who controls who in this mash up of metal, bone and flesh. The piece took many months to complete with parts going back and forth across continents. The final result is a probably never to be repeated, surreal bio-mechanical wonder. The whole thing stands some 21″ tall in case you were wondering just how big it was.

It was a real pleasure and privilege to be able to work with Chet on this project. The results are even better than I could have hoped for.

Betting agents and insider dealers.
If it were not for their mismatching taste in fancy waistcoats no-one would be able to tell them apart.

Available from the Stranger Factory in the “Oddfellows” show.

The new science of Photography heralds a fresh artistic era.
One in which the everyman can create images as beautiful as any trained painter.
Why hire a professional when with the simple application of basic equipment anyone can take their own pictures.
A popular idea not shared by Tiberius.
Anyone may be able to click off a few snap shots. But it takes great skill to make truly great images.
Just dont get him started on the advantages of photographs over paintings.

Sebastian Whittler  - Toy maker

Renown throughout the land for their marvellous toys, Sebastian is one half of the famous Whittler brothers.
He works miniature mechanical miracles with whatever comes to hand. Creating curious characters and fantastical clockwork facies for the discerning collector.
He has the sense when he works that he is breathing a little bit of his soul into each of his creations.

An odd idea as they are, after all only clockwork.
Toy clockwork.
Not real living clockwork like himself.

Oscar Lynchworthy

Constructed without limbs Oscar was a surly child.
He riled against the world feeling sidelined in his inability to do just about anything.
His parents offered to purchase appendages for him, but he adamantly remained in his self imposed funk.
His bitterness grew and festered for many years until one day he had an awakening.
A calling, a purpose, a vocation beckoned.
He would become a critic!

Created for the “Conjoined II” sculpture show curated by Chet Zar opening at the Copro Gallery in Santa Monica California on the 21st of january.

I  am chuffed to be included in an upcoming group show of sculptural works curated by the splendid Chet Zar.
There are some inspiring artists in this show. A lot of whom I admire greatly.
Hope my funny little robot fellow can hold his own amid this talent frenzy!

Its interesting to see the selection of artists Chet has chosen. A cross section of the pop-art worlds and the effects industry.
Never thought I would be in a show with the likes of Steve Wang! ( Go google him you art types!)
