I SCREAM NAILS

I recently got to design some stationary and promo gear for the girls at I Scream Nails. They're holding 7 nail art pop up shops throughout the month of september down at Head Quarters in Northcote. There's sure to be an uber arty vibe going on, so if you're into kick ass nail art I suggest you head on down.

Dehara Yukinori exhibition

I've been a fan of Japanese artist Dehara Yukinori's work since I got my hands on one of his awesome t-shirt's at the Giant Robot gallery in NYC back in 2009.

Last night I got the chance to meet Dehara in person at the opening of his exhibition "Satoshi" @ No Vacancy gallery here in Melbourne. He was a genuinely lovely guy and was super excited, and surprised to see one of his t-shirts had ended up down here in Melbourne.

Of course I couldn't leave without buying one of his AMAZING pieces!

My piece titled "The God of ancient God stereotypes" is on display along with another 60 amazing pieces at the "Little Deities" exhibition which is on show now @ No Vacancy Gallery, 34-40 Jane Bell lane, Melbourne. The exhibition runs until this Sunday the 18th March so check it out!

Rolling Stone Illustration

I've just finished my first portrait job for Rolling Stone magazine (Aust) using my new style of work. It's a portrait of the band "Lamb of God" for their latest album review.
Death metal isn't really my thing so coming up with an image that would capture the mood was a real challenge.
I think my illo will be published in the next edition of Rolling Stone (Aust), so check it out and let me know what you think.


Sneak peek!

My new website is now officially online! www.benjaminjohnson.net

After a long and harrowing journey through the postal system my 'Mail me art 2' submission titled 'Half empty' has landed safe, sound and relatively unscathed on UK soil. It will now go on to be a part of the 'Mail me art 2' exhibition along with hundreds of other pieces from artists from across the globe to be held at Red Gate Gallery in London starting on the 30th July. Hopefully it might even be published in the book 'Mail me art 2', so keep an ear to the ground. Check it out! http://www.redgategallerylondon.co.uk/
