Freeze Piece 2011

Masai and Zina with Upfest

@Freeze Festival
Battersea Power station, London
28th-29th Oct 2011

Good spot to have a look at some awesome snowboard & ski tricks, a lot of Norwegians representing!, well done! Made me miss home a bit after watching some short films of off piste in that lovely powder snow.

It helped standing next to the jumping bean burrito's mad bass, it kept the fumes bumping out of the cans. Ah, yeah, thank for lovely warm drinks from the Cake Hole, and the Chunky Chips was quite good too. Other artist painting was Data, Dan Kitchener, id-iom, Depecht and Pilot. Thanks to Upfest & Dephect for putting this together, and the massive crowd watching us paint. (please link us up if you find some photos)

I found some inspirational photos from the streets of New York; "Harlem on the Verge", by photographer Alice Attie. Here's some details for you;

I call him the BlueKing tho, it is easier to remember, he is morphed with a lion;

"The symbolic meaning of lions, as one might imagine, primarily deals with strength.

The fact that it is a nocturnal creature means that the lion is a symbol of authority and command over subconscious thought (as night is an ancient symbol of the subconscious - or dream states).

It’s interesting that the lion is considered by many ancient cultures to be a solar animal symbol, however it is primarily a nocturnal creature, conducting its hunting activity mostly at night.

This serves as a symbolic message of balance and sound judgment. In that the lion shares the world of both night and day, the lion bears a message of prudence to us. In other words, the lion asks us to not overdo in certain areas of our lives. Rather, keep an even mind and an overall balance in our life activities. Other than a symbol for strength, other symbolic attributes of the lion include: Courage, Power, Royalty, Dignity, Authority, Dominion, Justice, Wisdom,Ferocity

Some pics for you to see some of the progress,

he looked like a ghost in the beginning, and too big eyes, so I guess it ended well.

I guess I can explain the blue"fetish", it's just easier and cheaper to keep buying the same range of colours as I already have some left, than getting hold of totally new set of tones. I will mix it up later on when I can afford some. Anyways, please check out this pub in Brixton for some closer look, it's going to be up for a while!
