It included drinks, music, and great people.  Also, with the economy being eff’d right now, the super-limited prints were cheap.  Win-win for everyone.

Kill Pixie (AKA Mark Whalen) began as a graffiti artist on the streets of Sydney, Australia. His medium of choice nowadays is mostly ink and acrylic on paper mounted to wood, and coated in shiny resin. Inextricably embedded in their geometric, candy-colored environments, Kill Pixie’s humanoid characters are like puppets compelled to enact roles prescribed by powers beyond their control. The machinery and structures are all made up of much smaller objects, giving the impression of a kaleidoscope opening up into ever more intricate worlds.

In Kill Pixie’s meticulously crafted work, the viewer senses the indomitable spirits of creativity, humor and resistance, and the power of adaptation. His work questions the games people are forced to play, as it fractures and realigns old divides between street and studio, and reinterprets the universal human struggle between our antagonistic instincts for freedom and control in the contemporary era. For Kill Pixie’s rapidly expanding audience around the world, the work points toward dynamic new understandings that will be necessary for survival in the future of our world.

Since 2006, Kill Pixie has shown in a constant stream of exhibitions in Los Angeles, London, Australia and Berlin. Izrock Pressings recently published his first book, Kill Communication. It includes 64 pages of fine art paintings and works on the street. Kill Pixie has also appeared in publications such as Juxtapoz, Modart Europe, Arkitip, and Monster Children.

I watched The Last Waltz on the plane. It was interviews and footage of The Band and their last gig by Scorsese. I hadn’t seen it before. It was amazing with heaps of cameos.

Got off the plane and went straight to the auction house I was delivering 2 x Kill Pixie works and 4 x Cleon Peterson works too.
It’s Webb’s if you wanna bid this Tuesday – great works

There was heaps of taxidermy from some dude’s collection

This guy reminded me of that Rachenberg

This is Neil with the Koons. Super rad.
The packaging and the box and the instructions! Ha!

Then I took a walk around the city before dark.

I saw Max Gimblet mounting this show.

There he is in the back.

Found amazing book stores. Parsons!!! – Thx Rene!
Also this second hand one which was great.

I found this there and meant to buy it.
Robert is the curator at IMA Brisbane. I was psyched this book had travelled to here. Oh the life of a well loved book.

Found the Auckland Art Gallery and hit the NZ section.

This gallery had an amazing dimensional replication of that neverending reflection you get when you look in two facing mirrors. So great!

Joy Bong.

That night Erin picked me up and took me to dinner with her brethren the Slamxhype / Paything folks that I had never met.

L-R. Leah, Ben and Nickie.

Then Yasmine and Adam.

Tepanyaki man with the most rye and jaded jokes like he sad said them millions of time.
It was much better that way.

The next day.

I preferred to think of this as less of a demand and more of a suggestion for living.

Went to see the SlamX offices and more importantly the new Plaything Gallery where Erin had a show.

Then to the Museum

Great weaponry

And other fellows.

The botanical gardens and hot house.
Yes!

Then the flight home.

Ahhh. The reason to come home.

Jules less so.
