Meggs – Art / Aerosol / Design

Awesome video of Saber talking about his ‘Flag 2010′ painting and prints. Interestingly i was recently discussing the problems of America’s health system and (along with some other issues) it has influenced a piece a just finished for the upcoming letterheads exhibition tiled ‘False Idols Will Fall’. Anyway this is a really interesting perspective on how ‘right-wingnut’ media miss the real point of art reflecting a valid social issue and instead go all patriotic lynchmob. Dope work Saber! Fuck the ignorant!

Preview of my painting ‘in progress’ for an epic He-Man exhibition coming at Gallery 1988
in LA. More details will follow, and I think we all know who this is…

So it was just confirmed for me that my piece ‘Bend or Break’ exhibited as part of the Green Day ‘Art of Rock’ Exhibition, at StolenSpace Gallery in London, sold to none other than (GreenDay Bassist) Mike Dirnt. Whether your a fan or not, it seems these guys genuinely support upcoming art and music culture, cheers!

So I’ve submitted a piece for the Primary Flight Exhibition at Art Basel Miami 2009. Its a killer lineup of artists which I’m honoured to be showing with, should be an amazing show, I’m sure if your there you should check it.

So the Halloween party rocked until too many people came and the cops shut us down. Fake blood, sweat & capsicum spray… as they say. Thanks to all who contributed to make it happen and the party people for getting down. Good times!
