Red Hood (All-Star kid), Acrylic on Canvas, 60x60cm, 2006


Throughout the city is this reoccuring grid system that can be seen in everything, the background grill is probably the most important part of this painting, the figure didn't even need to be there, but i did always want to paint an image of someone wearing a red hood.

Green Striped Hood

Spitting Rainbows


On the weekend, the city is scattered with kids and their skateboards. It's a great time to look at the city as the environment is totally changed when it is not occupied by a sea of workers in their suits. This painting in particular was inspired by seeing a skater-kid spitting on the street. The action immediately caught my attention, and i knew that i could make a painting from it, the challenge was to make what is considered a vulgar action attractive. After working on a few ideas in my sketchbook and failing many times in achieving the image i wanted to make, i played around with a few different types of discharge emerging from the figure's mouth. In the end the rainbow just seemed to work.
