Woah! Fresh from the Consequences exhibition preview, Pixelpunks is still on cloud nine!
It was an amazing turn out and a thousand thanks to all you AND artists and members who came the event. Initially, what started as a little dream from a chance meeting with Danielle Huthart of Whitespace over a year ago and most likely guided by divine providence, this all female artist/designer exhibition was put together in under 8 weeks. All the other extremely talented artists (Emily Eldridge, Kim Van Gennip, Kate Barnett) just fell into place and 'Consequences' happened. It was a first time curating an exhibition and it was a powerful experience and will hopefully be the catalyst of new creative activities to come.
The exhibition is at the Economist Gallery, Fringe Club, 2 Lower Albert Rd and runs until 11 May.
Don't miss it!

Apologies for the long absence ...
Pixelpunks has been beavering away like the walking dead for the past few months.
It's been very exciting though. There's currently a little Lucky Brand Jeans shop exhibition on the go (please see events) and have just finished artwork for the spring/summer 09 Ruby Li campaign (1/F Vienna Mansion, Paterson St, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong). Please pop by if you're in the area.
Currently Pixelpunks is raring to go and full of spring in its steps.

Hello and greetings to you all on AND and thanks again to AND for all the fab continued support.

Here are some apologies again for not being in touch that much! Pixelpunks has been a rather busy bee over the last few months working on a couple of exhibitions and artworks for a fashion store so there's been a lot of sleepless nights. (I'll be keeping you all posted about these happenings when the time comes. ) It's amazing how obsessed you end becoming once you're in the throes of work! It's perverse and masochistic, but I love that feeling!

Coming up ... there's a Vivenne Westwood retrospective (originally at the Victoria and Albert Museum, London) showcasing in Hong Kong next week and if any of you have had a look at the Westwood project album, you'll have an idea about one of the art pieces I've been working on and that the fruits of this public/community art labour will go on show at the same time. It's on from 28th Nov for two months in HK so if you in HK, please pop by the Quarry Bay neighbourhood and have a gander, especially to see la grande damme's amazing oeuvre.

That's all folks for today. Thanks a million to all you old and new fans, visitors and friends for dropping by.

Peace and Love.

Dear Lovely Visitors,

Apologies! This blog is long overdue! This is actually my first blog ever which is why I must have been so reticent to write one!

Pixelpunks has been up and running since May this year and I must say despite all the hardships that go with a startup 'business', I've loved every minute being my own boss. (Suffice to say, I still don't have a winning formula as to how to run a successful one!) Perhaps it will always be the curse of the creative to be rubbish at business! Any tips anyone? I guess the most important thing is ... I get to do what I love to do at least 80% of the time!

"Nothing is ever the same as they said it was. "
Diane Arbus

I love that quote by Diane Arbus. It completely sums up the way I approach creating work.  Basically that our experiences and perceptions are based on our own and other people's nostalgia which pretty much gives us license to rewrite and reinterpret what has gone before.  I love trawling the net, visiting exhibitions and museums looking for ideas and I suppose in the end it's all about the image. For me, results and realisations could be any medium. I'm constantly trying to develop and find my own style and voice which is probably why visitors may wonder whether it's actually the same person who has done this work. I suppose stylistically,  I'm naturally drawn to the fantastic, surreal and gothic and of course fairytales. I'm interested in ideas about parallel universes and other worlds but that's not to say I have my head in the clouds either! I'm inspired by extraordinary places and people too. This is probably why a lot of my work contains lots of collage elements. Of course I would like to make some moving image pieces one day, but till then I am happy to play with still media for a while.

It's been a real eye-opener to visit some of you fellow members and artists on Alive not Dead. Many thanks to those of you who have taken the time to have a look at my stuff. I promise to update from time to time.
