From The Deep

This moment was captured off the coast of Tahiti. I have been surveying the outer reef of Tahiti for the tiger shark population since 2015, getting to know many of the tiger sharks that frequent that site over the years as they return along their migratory routes. However the site is very sensitive to conditions and difficult to access in certain months due to seasonal changes and being so shallow. This day we decided to go anyways but give it a shot at the drop-off (a depth of about 1,000m) and see if any of the big girls were lurking in the deep. Sure enough she showed up and spent two hours following our boat as we drifted. It wasn’t like on the reef… she didn’t approach along the outskirts of the corals beneath or hugging the waves at the surface. She rose vertical from the deep, seemingly bottomless blue. Appearing out of the darkness. A much different approach and perspective than usually experienced. There's no greater feeling than one of the ocean's apex predators ascending directly to you from the abyss. After hundreds of surveys at the Tahiti site, this dive remains at the front of my mind because of this approach and the deeply endless blue hues.

Nyan Cat
Nyan Cat is the name of an animation uploaded on April 2 2011, and became a viral internet sensation. The design of Nyan Cat was inspired by my cat Marty, who crossed the Rainbow Bridge but lives on in spirit.

Genesis
José Delbo sent me his striking pencil sketch and powerful inked work, which I then interpreted in oil on canvas. I wanted to create a very painterly piece with obvious brush marks etc, but I was also aiming for a nostalgic feel, a kind of 1980’s superhero comic book look, the kind I grew up with. My goal with this animation was to try to recreate, in part, the creative process that both artists went through with the visual information I had. I was able to showcase my painting process more accurately as I could take photographs of my progress throughout. Consecutive images could then be layered like brush strokes over José’s drawing to create the impression that this was one continuous artwork from pencil, to ink, to completed painting. The representation of the line sketch at the beginning, then pencil/ink and lastly the paint layers being applied demonstrate both artists’ struggle for the right lines, tone, form, and colour until the work is finally completed. As the oil was still wet with each photograph the glare of my studio lights can be seen in the brush strokes. Eventually, the figure emerges and as it does, our hero comes to life, looking directly at the viewer -- but is he grimacing in approval or disgust? We will never know for sure as just before he can say anything, white paint is brushed across the canvas entirely and the process begins again. Only the bat is quick enough to escape.

Crypto Toy Coin
This piece represents the creation of a new "Visual Toy", a term created by me to encompass my unique and exclusive GIF-Arts. The latter, "Crypto Toy Coin" is the only and first in the cryptocurrency theme. In it I represent the fast-paced world of finance in the virtual environment, the Internet with its universe of colors and infinite visual impact, an optimistic and exciting future, a world of possibilities that opens before us. These "Visual Toys" invite you to imagine, that is their function, that is the game. The ultimate goal is that you imagine, that it is you who gives it meaning. There are no good or bad answers, just the projection of each one. I've only created the trigger, the piece where you can project your imagination and let it fly.
