January 24th, 2010

Hey guys and girls. Yesterday I gave up drawing forever so I’m going to post something maybe a little bit relevant.

Math the Band is nothing short of fucking great. If you have heard of them then you can probably definitely strongly agree. If you have not, this may or may not be your best first Math the Band experience. They push the envelope and then snatch it away and shred it up and give you back a little collage made out of shredded up envelopes. This is “its elephant city baby” from their album Imaginary Everything. Yous jus gon like it.

The goat jived and crept with no intention of perceiving us as prey; a predator of cypress knobs and knees instead. Up the stairs he lurks until he makes sideways eye-contact with our slow and swift canoe. We stare.

He stares.

His beard waves like a fucking beautiful flag. On a pole.

We stare. The leaves rustle. He rustles. Russel Simmons rustles in a tree fort he returns to time and time again to be perverted and spy.

The goat’s vocal cords quiver with power.

He picks up his little carrot hoof ever so slowly.

STOMP!

“Hey there,”

STOMP!

“little goat.”

SAVE THE CAT HE IS IN A TREE SO AM I BUT I REFUSE TO BE RESCUED

January 19th, 2010

Come over! Sit down. Have a snack. Care for some Ovaltine? Now that my little Surf Expo deal is over I have a fucking profusion of new work to show.

Instead of relaying twenty-something batons all at once so it’s super inconvenient and difficult and similar to the pure chaos and blind movement that goes on in between the armpits of wool blazers of rowdy sweaty cheering prospective horse-race gambling men, I’m going to ever so softly punch the fuck out of your eyes with only one or two or a few new works a day so you might be able to sit down with it and chew on it. Like a little cheetah cub. We are all little cheetah cubs.

All this shit will be for sale, email me if you’re interested. They’re all originals, by the way.

Check back tomorrow, I’ll be posting new works every day.

Use whatever tomorrow gives you.

Surf Expo : Day Three (Late!)

January 18th, 2010

I took the liberty of being a 19 year old and rest among the mangroves with a puma all day yesterday instead of updating on what crazy shit happened on Day Three of Surf Expo 2010.

etch a sketch : huntermadeit

fishin : huntermadeit

No crazy shit happened on Day Three.

Why do I keep capitalizing Day Three? I drew and etchasketched and made friends and laughed and cried and conducted super secret…things… that I will speak of later.

board : huntermadeit

I painted this rather quickly for Get A Board. If any of my closer friends out there are wondering why the guitar isn’t in the video interview, it’s because “hugfuck the world” is not allowed to be painted on raffle-guitars. Now you know. Don’t do it!

hands up! : huntermadeit

This is roughly how I feel after the weekend. I sold some pieces, traded some art, met great people, drank a lot of Ovaltine, and got a lot of inspirational texts from Mum.

I’ll be photographing all the new work this week so you can get up close and personal (really awkwardly intimate hopefully), so be on the lookout like a Galago playing road trip bingo.

GALAGOOOOOOOO MILKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surf Expo : Day Two

January 15th, 2010

Day two at the Surf Expo was just as crazy. I stayed in my booth most of the day drawing shit while a lot of really awesome people gravitated in and laughed and scoffed and smiled and frowned and cried and all of that. No pictures for today, we left the camera back in the hotel like casual cats. I did have my sketchbook out with a sign that said “Say something vulgar!” Starting with my favorite, here are a few things that people wrote to me. I love them.

“You worthless fuckstain I hate your stupid gape face and hope to sweet-fuck you get raped and die by your friends.”

“Fuck you!”

“Fuck that!”

“Fuck. Shit. Fuck. Goddamn. Does (your) work mean anything? Fuck.”

“Who gives a fuck? <3"

"You're fucking around...wait, your fucking around is pretty damn good.”

As you can see there were positive vibes felt by all.

I send deep thanks to all the people who showed up in my life today with an open mind and offers of opportunity. More on that later. Hopefully we’ll remember the camera tomorrow and getchawl wise to what happens on the final day.

Goodnight!

Surf Expo : Day One

January 14th, 2010

Holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit. Today was rather intense. Who am I kidding, it was fucking crazy! I met so many fantastic people, there was non-stop action all over the place, and just a lot of plain good vibes. Welcome to my booth suckas!

booth : huntermadeit

booth one : huntermadeit

booth two : huntermadeit

booth three : huntermadeit

booth four : huntermadeit

booth five : huntermadeit

booth six : huntermadeit

I was selected to paint a Gibson acoustic guitar to be raffled off by the super cool heads at Get A Board Foundation! Check them out, they’re out there makin’ change and lending hands.

hugfuckguitar : huntermadeit

Hugfuck the world.

I spent most of the day painting it and hanging out at their booth while my sister and girlfriend hung out in my booth like secret underground fox troopers answering questions and giving out creepy stickers.

stacked : huntermadeit

They did some cool shit with the stickers on the floor in front of us to snag attention and make people feel awkward (a good, warm awkward) for stepping on hundreds of seemingly ignorant faces. A spiral, a snail, a happy triangle with arms, and an interactive hopscotch zone were some of the arrangements. I think tomorrow they said a whale is in store. Well fuck yes.

snail : huntermadeit

spiral : huntermadeit

After painting the guitar today, I agreed to a little video interview for Surf Expo and Get A Board; should be pretty funny. Yes! Many many other great things happened today that I will keep to myself for now.

Simply.

Check back tomorrow to see what happens; I need sleep like plants need sun!

ZzzZzzZzz

January 13th, 2010

With help, (of course!), I’m finally moved in and set up to begin whatever adventures come my way for this little Surf Expo exhibition. I’m directly next to Brandon McLean (aka Elus1v) and George Peterson of the Circle Factory. Check these cats out if you know whats good for ya, their work is insane! I’ll be meeting all of the other artists tomorrow during Day One.

Check back tomorrow night for pictures of the secret little pieces I’ve been hiding and the booth set-up!

Godspeed!

Adopt A ManateeSealBird

January 10th, 2010

While reading, I ask that you play this song by Metronomy, “Do The Right Thing”.

Sitting at the bus stop listening to people talk about anything but Manateesealbirds really dashes my hope for our generation. We know they exist, we know they need help. But we carefully tiptoe around the subject thinking someone else will resolve the issue.

manateesealbird : huntermadeit

Yesterday, in a pile of old shirts and pants and thread and sewing machines and stuffing, I found one, injured. Cold. Hungry. I whispered several vulgar phrases under my breath in dismay. Things I won’t write here. Things like, “Holy shit. Look at his cute as shit button eyes. Oh fuck.”

Manateesealbirds thrive in soft, puffy habitats. Because they have no limbs, hiding among the pillows of a bed is their only mechanism of defense against predators. Manateesealbird numbers are rapidly declining as people become too cool to have odd stuffed animals in their room.

manateesealbird : huntermadeit

You can help. You can adopt a Manateesealbird for $50 USD, shipping not included. If anyone, anyone out there at all, cares about the fate of this beautiful creature, please, leave a comment describing your encounters you may have had with a Manateesealbird or interest in adopting the one I have discovered.

I’ll send him in a perforated box so he can breathe. I’ll include a drawing and some free stickers so he can keep himself busy in transit. I’ll give it all to you. I’ll put it all on the Internet.

Do the right thing.


A Little Kick In The Ass

January 8th, 2010

Jack Kubizne directed this fucking fantastic video for the song “Brother Sport” by Animal Collective from their album Merriweather Post Pavilion. I’m normally not a fan of biting neons and the psychedelic, but there’s some liberation to be found if you let it sweep ya on up.

Go go go go go go go go go go go go!

Push!

TODAY

January 6th, 2010

Today marks ONE WEEK until my little Surf Expo show. Or at least one week until I have to set up my little booth. 100 square feet of fuck yeah.

I played in the snow over holiday break. More specifically, a snowboard trip to Grand Targhee for fresh pow-pow. Yum. Downtime at our little pad out there was still fun as shit, but I needed a break from drawing and went sniffing around. I found a frozen pond in the middle of some townhomes, whispered something crucial to myself, and ran back to get a shovel. My sister brought a broom. The Weatherman said more snow would come that night and the sun was setting so we had to hustle, hustle, hustle. Seventy-five feet wide by twenty-three feet tall.

today : huntermadeit

Here Today.
Gone Tomorrow.

My sister got me a pocket trumpet for Christmas. Cool. As. Shit.

I painted my MIDI keyboard solid white with a hot pink volume button like I want it.

You Can Think of Earth As A Spaceship

November 24th, 2009

The last few pages of November’s sketchbook lurked in the back…waiting. And then I drew all the fuck over them. Instead of buying a new book for December, I decided it was time to break the cycle and make my own.

december book 1 : huntermadeit
It was basically free: old textbooks fished out of dumpster for the cover (LURK LURK LURK), scrap paper for the filler, dental floss for the binder, a shoe lace for the shoe lacer, and some glue for the gluer.
