A QUICK KILLING
Artist/Tattoo artist. Likes to skate, surf, paint, draw, tattoo, travel, music and Margaret.
Did this quick sketchin’ back in my homeland, the “Pearl of the Orient”, Pilipinas, Philippines. haha.
The spray paint I bought from our local hardware store is SHIT!!!
Was supposed to fill up the whole wall while is probably 30 meters wide. Too bad I needed to go back here in Sydney for an emergency, but oh well.
Will definitely go back and bring some Ironlak with me and get it done.

Trip to Wollongong
Drove down to Wollongong and had some good time paint with the crew. It was a pretty fun afternoon. Beers and painting a wall, man let me tell you it hits the spot! It was my 3rd time using a spray paint as a medium and I realized how much fun and exciting it is to be a street artist. Still needs to work on my speed though. Anyway all in all it was great!

FLUFFY PRECIOUS GLITTER EXHIBIT
Wall painting I did for a wall painting exhibit last november. First Mural exhibition I’ve been into. I made this big cat heads totem pole on the spot when we first went to the gallery. Didn’t have any clue that we’re gonna be doing a wall painting installation. It lasted only for a week. It’s shame to put down good artworks so soon. I really enjoyed this exhibit though. It was great fun!

Painting Grounds is an exhibition organized by Andros who began in the street art scene two years ago. He sorted a great collection of street artists (too many to mention) for his first established group exhibition. A night of live art collaborations, selling of merchandise and of course FREE BEERS!
The opening night was on the 26th of November and it will be on for 2-3 weeks. It sucks that I didn’t have photos on the opening night so I came the next day to take proper ones and properly looked at the artworks. The exhibition is still going so drop by if you have a free time. Sold 1 artwork so far. WOOOHHH!!Feeling like a pro artist. hahaha

SUBSONIC
A 12m wall production that me and my good buddies put together for Subsonic Music festival over a few days. Up above Newcastle someplace in the middle of nowhere, a small camping ground turned into a crazy hippy tent city of 24 hour dub, rap and dance. Whiles not consuming vast amounts of beer and sandwiches we spent a couple of hours each day free styling on these walls till we came up with the end product. Looking forward to painting more with these dudes and trying to get ourselves some more music festival gigs.

I was lucky enough to be included in the exhibition in Tortuga Gallery last November 26, 2011. A lot of different Sydney street artists got involved and the show is very successful.
The image above was a collab between Andros, Birdhat, Resan, Skulk, Sokei, Terrible Horrible and yours truly.
We printed T-shirts with these designs as well. These two and some other designs and prints are available for $30 ea at Tortuga Galleries.
Tune in for more post from the exhibit.

Lately, I’ve been exploring the streets and have met some really good and radical street artists here in sydney. Street art is sort of familiar to me especially I’ve been doing paintings like Basquiat’s but I found that collaborating with other street artists is not a very easy thing to do. I find it a bit hard to match the style of different artists. It was awesome watching them do it like it’s just a natural thing to do for them.
Anyway, this is my first collaboration work. It was really fun doing this piece with Andros, Resan, and Sam Clouston.
Will definitely take a can and start doing more street stuff.

ART BATTLES AUSTRALIA: CLINT VS. BENJAMIN
Hey there kool kids! I know I haven’t posted anything for awhile due to the busy season. But fortunately I finished my uni degree so I’ll be posting more of my artworks and escapades here.
I was fortunate enough to get in ART BATTLES AUSTRALIA on september this year and compete with some of the finest street artists here in sydney. ART BATTLES AUSTRALIA is an event sponsored by Nameless Bar in Oxford Street and is all about helping emerging/professional artists to let people know about their creative skills and ideas.
The venue was packed with cool spectators and artists so I guess you can imagine what the vibe is like in the bar. I battled with Benjamin whose works are influenced by tattoo culture.
Animals Dressed as Animals
The theme of the battle was “Animals Dressed as Animals” so this is pretty much what I came up with:
Humans are considered as the highest form of animal but sometimes they act more beastly than some wild beast in the jungle. This is an illustration of how humans abuse animals just because they can’t get enough of what they already have. People always need more and more in and so the planet and it’s living things are the one who have to suffer. Humans abuse the natural resources and leads to the extinction of some wild animals.
And that’s basically my concept

This is how I roll
Clint Vs. Benjamin
Getting it up there
2/3 of the crowd
Processing the decision
Me and me 2 lovely sistahs
I really enjoyed doing this and I felt like I still won even though Benjamin was the one who took home the bacon.
It felt great that lots of people came to show their support in me and it was a good opportunity to catch up with some of my long lost friends. CHEERS TO YOU ALL!!!
Final Work
