This has been sitting on my camera for over a month now, I’ve finally had the chance to upload it. It’s one of the three pieces I’d shown at the Animalistic show, which was the beginning of last month. There are a few process photos after the jump..

One of the completed trucks.

Burning the screens..

Here they are basking in the first light of Spring.

Three of these patterns, along with about the same amount of non-decorated plywood became the three trucks – a zoo truck, a refrigerated truck, and a delivery van.

The story I’d associated with them was that a bear had escaped from the zoo truck, eaten most of the fish from the seafood truck before tiring and seeking refuge in the back of a delivery van – the pieces themselves were simply three trucks with little suggestion of what was going on in the story.

It’s interesting that as the zoo truck was the most descriptive truck in the story – it had broken bars on one side, where the other trucks were quite static in comparison – it was also the most popular of the three.

Just yesterday printed this bottle for a birthday present. I love how it turned out, but had a heap of trouble because the screen mesh was way coarse and the ink quite thin. The design is actually had crisp lines and I’m lucky the distressed look is appropriate in this case – it’s left me thinking overtime about a good screen an ink combination for glass. I’d love to do some stained glass prints or something.

I’d also be interested to know if ‘Trigesimo Cumpleanos’ really does mean ‘Thirtieth Birthday’ in Spanish..

The Peace on the High Seas tee is based on a hand printed tee I’d made, and wanted to see how well the Red Bubble tees came out. I’ve been wearing my personal print of the High Seas design for over a year now, and it’s still good as new.

They’re printed on American Apparel stock and both AU$32.00 each, AU$34.50 if you opt for the long-sleeve.

Friends are still able to invite you to events, there might be an important message in your inbox, or one you’re about to receive. Thanks for offering guys, but I still want out. I’m reluctant to have that much personal information stored when I don’t know who has access to it, namely advertisers.

Facebook seem to make it deliberately hard to find a way to delete your account, I spent a couple of hours deleting my friends and personal information. This morning though, I found this link:

That’s a little easier. Now I’m free of social networking, I have piece of mind and more control over my presence on the internet. Don’t even get me started on Twitter.

I hope you might also consider similar attack. If you really want to put something out there – Create your own content, host your own blog, switch things up a bit and help shape your own web 2.0. It’s like growing your own vegetables.
