The News: CK x Art Park

September 8, 2011 / CK posted in Arts, Graphics, Inspiration, Media, Scrapbook / No Comments

I am so very honoured and proud to be part of a collaboration with ‘The Art Park’ for their Summer 2011 range.!

As a long time fan of Art Park (who I am actually speaking alongside at this years Analogue/Digital Gold Coast) I was very excited when asked if I would submit some art prints for their collection.

The tee is the ‘Transmission’ tee on a lovely soft Blue Marle base and the art is an interpretation of what a Yin-Yang would kind of look like on Mars or 100,000 feet under the Ocean… Contradiction? I think not…

anyways… it reads something like this:

Gold Coast swinger and semi-pro dancer Claudio is the newest artist to collaborate with the Art Park. Adding his golden touch and innate graphic flair Claudio is a fresh blast of Queensland air in the Park. Welcome sunshine!.

You can purchase this brand new piece of art Here Online, and at these Fabulous Retailers soon.!

Thankyou Art Park.!

The News: Sunshine & Rabbits

May 31, 2011 / CK posted in Arts, Graphics, Inspiration, Media, Photography, Scrapbook / No Comments

The weeks fly by but it’s still not the same…

Amazing times… putting end to Olde projects and opening up to welcome the New.

Upon returning from Melbourne I presented at the ‘Analogue/Digital’ conference on the beautiful Sunshine Coast. A grass roots design conference organised by the wonderful crew at The Various Artists and Just Us Gallery. Again, to speak alongside some of your peers, idols and collaborators is such an honour, a feeling that is so hard to describe but an absolute pleasure to feel. A huge thankyou to Matt, Brian and all the A/D crew for looking after us so well…! and very special thanks to Vaughan, Simon, Matt, Luke, Sofles and Jeremy for sharing the stage and making an unbelievable Day and Night.!

Last week saw the preview of a Multi-Arts hub Space here on the Gold Coast called ‘Rabbit & Cocoon’ …

The turnout for a ‘preview’ launch was crazier than anyone could have expected… with over 400 turning out to see Original Art, Fashion and Music on a ‘cold’ Thursday night on the GC, it was so refreshing to see for things that are in the immediate future… The girls are working tirelessly to bring together amazing experiences and artists under one roof. I painted a live mural permanent installation one one of the Studio doors. So much fun and So honoured… Thankyou to all the R&C crew and Ironlak for the sexy paint colours…

Keep and ear to the ground… cos what we started years ago is living, breathing and turning into a Creative Monster.

Please enjoy some pics form both events.
