So here is my piece "19XX" that featured in the FanBoy vs. ArtBoy show recently. It is inspired by the classic WW2 "shoot 'em up" series 19XX released by Capcom – which included the games 1942 (1984), 1943-The Battle Of Midway (1987),1943 Kai-Midway Kaisen (1988), 1941-Counter Attack (1990), 19XX-The War Against Destiny (1995) and 1944-The Loop Master (2000).
I am told the opening night was awesome with many punters commenting on how diverse all the artist representations were of their video game inspired art. Some other great news to also arise from the show is this week the ABC2 program Good Game dropped into ArtBoy Gallery to film the show! So there will be an upcoming feature on the popular gaming show...more deets soon. For now you can see more snaps of my sculpture here.

Sean Irving from Metro Gallery in Melbourne recently forwarded me details on the upcoming show from Swoon, as follows, and if you are around this part of the world I recommend you get on down and take a peek!.....
This will be her first visit to Australia and she's taking the opportunity to create a site specific installation within the gallery.
We're incredibly excited to be holding this event, Swoon is highly regarded within the international street art community and her works can be found on walls all over the world. She has also had work acquired by major cultural institutions including MOMA and the Tate Modern, and she's widely recognised as a master of contemporary printmaking.
Swoon is a Brooklyn-based artist whose life-sized woodblock and cut-paper portraits hang on walls in various states of decay in cities around the world. She has designed and built several large-scale installations, most notably the Swimming Cities of Switchback Sea at Deitch Projects in 2008. Her pieces have been collected by of The Museum of Modern Art, The Brooklyn Museum of Art , and the Tate Modern. Major pieces have appeared at PS1, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and Black Rat Press. Swoon has been traveling for the past several years creating exhibitions and workshops in the United States and abroad.
Swoon is also an instigator and a collaborator. She founded the Toyshop collective and the Miss Rockaway Armada, and is a member of Just Seeds and the Transformazium. Since 2006 she has organized four large-scale raft projects and floated down the Mississippi and Hudson rivers with them. Most recently, she and her collaborators designed a flotilla of sea-going rafts that invaded the 2009 Venice Biennale.
Her artistic process is predicated on the belief that art is an immersive, provocative, and transformative experience for its participants. Although Swoon’s aesthetics can be seen as an outgrowth of street art, her engagement with ethical living and making art share a close kinship with the idealism of off-grid, barter-based cultures and economies based on sharing. She uses scavenged and local materials and embraces print media as a potent means of action for social change.
*The below text is from Ghostpatrol/Everfresh taken from the Niceproduce blog, so follow the links, join the facebook page & if you are on twitter be a champ & tag the shit outta it to help these fellas score a show at the NGV studio!.....
Everfresh was invited by the National Gallery of Victoria to be part of the new space soon to open at Fed Square called the NGVSTUDIO. The space will be something new for the NGV and we are looking forward to what’s going to be happening there when it opens up this year.
We also have melbourne girl MISO coming along to help out which will be the first time we have worked with her on a wall.
