Stay Dead Knuckle Dusters Pt 2.


Last time I talked about the making of 2 pairs of knuckle Dusters for an upcoming Zombie Apocalypse (Art Show). This week, in part 2, I will have a look at the bigger picture, The art show that inspired the art.


There is something to be said about a gallery opening where you have work showing. Group shows are fun because I only have to put in the work that I CAN do and I am not responsible for filling a large amount of wall space with work.

A little too real!
Walking into Artboys Galleries “Zombie Apocalypse” was unlike any other show I had been to before. Mainly for the fact they had a cage of zombies in the window, snarling and clawing at you as you walked in. I can only imagine what unsuspecting passer bys would have thought that night.

This time around I must say, without being burdened with the idea of selling my pieces, I was somewhat more relaxed. Not having to worry about if my pieces were worthy and not having to check back every 5 minutes to see if there is a magical little red dot on it!
This piece actually scanned you for infection....I failed

No this time around the night was about having lots of fun, Catching up with friends, discovering new and exciting artists and discussing upcoming projects and possible collaborations.


All in all… I came away from this night the same way I normally do. Feeling ecstatic that I have created something from a nothing idea to a physical piece but more importantly inspired but all the great art I have been exposed to. Both new and established artists continue to push the boundaries and impress..

And here we are



Thanks again to the guys at Artboy for putting on a great show and an amazing opening night.
