Fast Times Hard Times

Hard and Fast Edition 1 at the OK Gallery as part of Here and Now Exhibition

Hard Times was screened as part of a Hard and Fast presentation at the OK Gallery "as an extension of Now & Then 12, in conjunction with Here & Now 12 at Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, Nedlands."

"A futile and vaguely ridiculous attempt to survey Perth contemporary arts practice, in which as many artists as we could get to participate attempt to explain their practices in under 5 minutes each."

This video includes documentation by Casey Ayers, Daniel Bourke and Scott Northcott and includes contributions from Sheridan Coleman, Vincent Eliott and Verity Wells. 

It was projected by handheld projector onto the ceiling of the OK Gallery while an obligatory slideshow ran automatically and the Diamond Skull skeleton ran interference.

Chocolate Porridge Brain Man: c2004

Chocolate Porridge Brain Man was an eponymous series of short stories accompanied by a few (usually tediously) overworked sketches using MS Paint.  Chocolate Porridge Brain Man was a person of relatively few talents and far less personality the Rocky to his creator Mr. Bones: Dr. Frank-N-Furter. Chocolate Porridge Brain Man's superhero power was the occasional sneeze or episodic fit of rage which resulted in explosions of chocolate porridge. A sneeze was a mild event - needing only an apology but in a fit of rage Chocolate Porridge Brain Man would lose his head completely and take several minutes to regenerate a new one. In both cases the porridge from the explosion was edible, making Chocolate Porridge Brain Man popular with both orphans and zombies.

This whole thing started because one day I added cocoa powder to porridge. I like my porridge very goey with some whole oats added at the end for some texture. Adding cocoa was a hilarious mistake. Don't do it, it tastes mediocre and looks so unappealingly brain-like you probably wont be able to eat it.
