LIVE DRAWING CHALLENGE WITH BROWNSNAKE

Our bro Josh ‘Brownsnake’ Brown did a live drawing at the Universal Store in Melbourne a while back. It was like one of those challenges in America’s Next Top Model, where the girls pose in the window of some place; except like, totally not. Don’t you ever wonder what those would-be models are thinking as they try to smize? We double checked with Brownie as to what he was thinking as he posed – err, painted – in the Universal Store window…

“My inspiration for this one stemmed from the Insight Summer/ Refreshments ranges for 2012/13. I basically plucked a whole heap of art that we had been working on in the Dream Dactory and just mashed it onto that canvas. I have this folder full of all my sketches and drawings for Insight that have accumulated over the years which I used as references, but a lot of it is just dumb stuff I winged while I was drawing. It’s more fun that way… It’s good to get out of the studio and get my hands dirty once in a while, beats slaving away behind a computer day in day out that’s for sure.” – Brownsnake

Watch him werk (and smize and give some really fierce Thinking Face) in the little vid below, filmed and edited by Barun Chatterjee and Sanjay De Silva.

IN THE STUDIO WITH JASON WOODSIDE

When I showed up to Jason Woodside’s opening last Friday in the Lower East Side, I was a little taken aback. Parked directly in front of Poppington gallery was a new Bentley and it seemed more like I was on location for a rap shoot than a downtown art opening. Turns out legendary businessman Dame Dash, responsible for companies such as Roc-A-Fella Records and Rocawear, owns the gallery. He’d found out about Jason’s work and decided to host his show. The mix of people made for a pretty good, pretty drunken evening. Rather than wine, we had bottles of Moet Rose. Rather than water, we drank Vampire Life vodka and Heineken. Jason also gave me a tour of his Chinatown studio in preparation for the show. Turns out he’s in a pretty transient time of his life. He is currently moving out of his space and looking for a new one as well as moving his coffee shop, Happy Bones to a new location. Happy Bones will reopen the first week of November at 394 Broome Street. So if you happen to be in New York anytime soon, make sure to track him down and tell him that I told you that he promised free coffee for life to anybody who whispers “Monster Children” after ordering their drink.
