My ode to Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. After 3+ years of build up this nerdgasm of a film just dropped in Sydney offering some sweet, clean comic book fun. I recommend a must watch, but I probably didn’t have to say that.

Arty Thursdays
Why are art openings always on Thursdays??
The 80s-90s Comic/Cartoon/Video Game themed gallery Hyper Reality Dimension XX went off without a hitch. Good vibes, great numbers, great art. Much thanks to Jono Verzosa for curating and organizing the whole event. It was great meeting all of the artists and hearing from people that they legitimately liked looking at all of the art.
Sydney’s a small place and it was great to finally put a physical face behind stuff i’d seen online. So please check out the works of talented dudes: Gerald Leung, Sam Hoh, Jin Hien Lau, BafCat, OX and Bryn Desmond-Jones to name a few.
Be sure to check out the gallery at aMBUSH before it ends, or the online catalogue when it comes out. Here are some blurry and overall poor photos I took from the night
Thanks to the usual scumbag crew for coming. Much like the Wu-Tang Clan except one of our names could actually be “Wu” or “Tang”.
Jinman is Raekwon.
HYPER REALITY DIMENSION XX
So I’m exhibiting in this show tomorrow, check it out…
Hyper Reality Dimension XX is an express ticket to the world of electric cult mythologies birthed during the antiquated age of CRT TV, VHS, and NES.
It’s the summation of all the insane cartoons you’ve watched during the 80’s with adult themes and bad lip-syncing…
All the marked to clear B-grade sci-fi/horror movies your asshole best friend has given you as a “birthday present”…
All the video games whose pixelated graphics were so damn good that they made your eyes bleed and your thumbs sore from extended play…
It’s the manifestation of all the crazy cult shit that your fragile brain has absorbed growing up as a kid and rediscovered in horror and delight as an adult.
Via various techniques and mediums 20 artists regurgitate and re-imagine the cult classics that they so readily devoured during their youth, expressing the oddities and splendour of the modern electric age that has shaped their early years and has infiltrated their art practice today.Featuring artists Jodee Knowles, Chris Yee, Rebecca Murphy, HOUL, KID9, OX, Bafcat, Claire Orrell, Sam Octigan, Lizzie Nagy, Gerald Leung, Luke Marcatili, BOB, Iconica, Ala Paredes, Bryn Desmond-Jones, Jonathan Verzosa, Sam Hoh, Jacob Rolfe, and Jin Hien Lau.
The opening will take place on Thursday 19 April from 6-9pm at aMBUSH Gallery in Waterloo. Join us for for complimentary drinks provided by Viking Beer, live art, and future beats and rhythms provided by Misworthy and Alice Whyte.
The exhibition will also run alongside an online catalogue with works for sale from 20 to 30 April, allowing interstate buyers to remotely buy works. Information regarding this will be available on the aMBUSH website.

Some pencil sketches I done did
Black Book
I picked up a new A5 sketch book for quick, on-the-fly drawings to keep with me on the reg. Hopefully this will keep things random and fresh, prepping for the “good stuff”. We’ll see how long this lasts…
Here are some things that have resulted so far. (click to enlarge)
Auction
So all of the artist boards are officially on auction now.
