Sun tan was probably the best choice given the paint selection in Egypt. Pretty pretty good i’m sure you will agree Photo courtesy of 45

My paws in Egypt - photo by RPM Been shooting an advert in Egypt with some friends over at Collision Films, check out their music videos whilst you’re there. The whole video is animation and timelapse and i can honestly say i have never painted so much in my life. A bit of an education in speed painting. Basically each painting would only be one frame in the animation and a 12th of a second in the final video. I had to learn to not be so clean with the lines and just get it done as quick as possible so we could move on to the next frame. Easier said then done when you’re painting a two story godzilla from a cherry picker that has a naked chick coming out of his head and your being directed from the ground with a laptop, megaphone and laser pointer to animate her tits jiggling. The whole shoot was made even more interesting as we had to order montana 94 from Israel, which was promptly confiscated at the Egyptian border. The problem being that any packages coming from Israel to Egypt are treated with a lot of suspicion. Something to do with who has the best god i think. Whilst this was happening our Ukranian fixer got her embassy involved and the Ukranian foreign minister. It also happened to be the same day the Ukranian people inaugurated their new prime minister. This meant that we had to paint every scene of our video with emulsion and Egyptian car paint. Steep learning curve but it made it that much more interesting. Some projects seem cursed from the outset. After paying a guy to let us climb a pyramid at Giza i think we angered the pharoahs. On set we had a swarm of bees interupt the first scene we filmed. Also the mother of all hail storms. Our Egyptian producer who was in his thirties then told us he had never seen ice fall from the sky! Huge thanks to Ben and Chris at Collision for getting me on board and big up to my painting partners RPM and Mr Dave Whittle. Amazing time! watch this space for the finished thing soon

Mr 45 and myself are off to Egypt at some point this week for 12 days of painting absolute nonsense. Wish me luck, it looks like it’s going to be a mission.

War & Peace - Richt AnyForty (via richt…) My War and Peace T-shirt design for AnyForty.The idea is that the War side is attacking the peaceful peace people at the bottom, but i think peace wins, because that ghost at the top has the final say.Felt a bit bad for encouraging the yout to Kill all Hippies. I’m trying to repent now.Click this image to go to flickr for a closer look at the little bits.Also check out AnyForty

My War and Peace T-shirt design for AnyForty.

The idea is that the War side is attacking the peaceful peace people at the bottom, but i think peace wins, because that ghost at the top has the final say.

Felt a bit bad for encouraging the yout to Kill all Hippies. I’m trying to repent now.
