The Droid Man

17Sep08

Came up with this guy in light of the Paralympics, superhero movies, and so on.
Just imagine! Pitting Batman against the Droidman, that’s how the story would go. The cover here is the droidman getting his ass-whupped, preferrably Batman just that the Batman doesn’t use guns.
I used my fine black marker on paper. His right arm [...]

School Wall

17Sep08

The first piece I did, and the skull hamster retains its original design here. As I did more pieces the character design changed and improved. The letters here are nice, inspired by one of the Youtube videos on graffiti and Graphotism volume… 44, I think (it featured Conor and CNSkillz Crew). It shows a human [...]

Bus

17Sep08

This bus was taken opposite the City Hall MRT bus station. The song that inspired this was “Bonnie and Clyde 97′”. The song’s about Slim Shady after murdering his wife, Kim. He caught her in their house sexing up another man and went stir crazy, killing him. After that, in “Kim”, the “Volume 2″ of [...]

Jim Beam

17Sep08

along the back of Orchard… near Killiney, where the old post office is.
This was my most straight forward piece. It’s only in this work that the hamster character appears in its original form instead of the bball jersey and skull. With its back facing the road, it’s supposed to show how faceless and small the [...]
