On Saturday had a good time with some of the illustrators who I continue to meet on Facebook.  At first I was worried that no one was going to show up when I sat in the Mall’s food court alone at 12, but I got out my book and started drawing, one by one people started pouring in and before you know it we are all talking and having fun sketching.

We even had our own emo blasting session. We changed from the challenge of the day ( the seven sins) to doing our own emo people and how generic it can be. I think it was Claire who vividly painted a scene where the mall becomes dark as a thick cloud of them descend onto the food court. We image there might be a territorial battle in the future, them vs us!

Next meetup is scheduled for some time in August.

Day 4 continues with Erotic Art week shows. Today I also went up to the Mall for the second edition of We Does Draw. More on that tomorrow.

Day 3 Erotic Art Week continues.

Today Continues more Erotic Art Week. I plan to go check out what the other Artists have in on display. Yesterday had a nice mistake of sorts.

The Fabric I used to project my Images on were a bit different. Chinyere, despite Baidawi’s and my best instructions, brought us a kind of organza that was a little too translucent for what we had in mind for the projection screen.  This kinda turned out to be an interesting mistake so we went with it. The lighting came out almost like living graphic separations as it passed from fabric to fabric, it is possible that later on we will try something similar for future shows.

So today I started my Exhibition for Erotic Art Week. It was a collaboration of Music and images again with the Detnator team.

We pretty much displayed my Pieces Via projection, and set a playlist of tunes to create an ambiance for what was on display, at intervals I would go create a piece live and then add it to a flow in the projection.

Responses have been good on the first day and some guests were even surprised that all the music were locally created by the Detnator team. I have good taste! Erotic Art Week continues all week long until the 31st

This illustration was used in today’s Outlish magazine. I tried something new with the style, thought it worked out. Check it out.

Busy Busy stockpiling my dailies felt like putting this one up. Chicks with guns.

Added the dailies for May. Working on the June.

So there are some other creative projects and events I am part of and another one I had some fun with was this event. Join the facebook group in the link., be a part of it if you like. The next one is planned for the 24th of July at Trincity Mall Food Court again.

Quite an active weekend planned. I expect to get things going for Erotic Art Week. More planning for the DnD project and also some more meetings for my upcoming show in September. Tomorrow I  will be attending an event called We Does Draw. I will post more about it in the morning As I get ready for it. Saying good by to past dissapointments and getting into the new. Thanks for the memories first half of 2010!

I went outside on Sunday as part of an upcoming collaborative effort with my producers (music) Detnator.  The idea is simple enough, I create art and we get a soundtrack to it. We may mix it up and make it either live or some other way.
