HAPPY NEW YEARS! 2012 is going to be really busy here at the HEY APATHY! studio. I’ll be continuing to develop the computer generated video game artwork with designer Michael Peters as well as working on some more stop motion cartoons. And, as if that wasn’t enough already, I have also started making a new series of detailed comic book drawings which will be ready for gallery exhibition and available as limited edition giclee prints later this year. Expect frequent updates here all winter long.

“HEY APATHY!” is an ongoing artistic investigation into the metropolis, people, global relationships and the mechanics of being. In the earliest artworks the city is announced as an ominous gear propelled by an endless sea of faceless denizens. At that time I envisioned the urban landscape as a nihilistic conglomeration of misdirected commercial and superficial ideologies. In order to better understand the phenomena in question, I proceeded to develop a particular, progressively public, artist’s process involving gallery & festival exhibitions, live performances, street interventions, wall murals, outdoor projections and multi-media installations. Since 2005 I have completed 4 major solo exhibitions and over 300 outdoor performances as well as commissioned projects for both the Hudson’s Bay Company and the A.G.O. (Art Gallery of Ontario). By way of these increasingly accessible and interactive experiments I have met thousands of people from all over the world, and of all walks of life. In more recent artworks the city remains as a giant gear, only now it is all the amazing and diverse individuals, not anonymous cogs, who fuel the machine. Welcome to the City of Gears!
