Kickstart to the new year: Kelly Vivanco Custom Mellow

I did not realize I have been away from blogging for about two months. Just hard to keep up when you get further away from where all the arts and sources are. Since returning home to this part of the world, I have been pre-occupied with, say, more important matters.

Another big year for me this year, I can already smell the things coming at me. Expect lots of changes, good changes I hope.

As for customs, I am waiting on the completion of two remaining Mellows by artists yet to be revealed. For now, allow me to humbly show you my latest piece by the great Kelly Vivanco.

I got a big surprise for my last commission, that'll come in due time. Also planned a photography session for these customs, got some people I met through my old mates that are interested in taking these art pieces.

Happy New Year people.

almost there - another custom Mellow

Here's a teaser of what's forth-coming in my line of custom Mellows. This is from the fantastic works of Kelly Vivanco. Brilliant! Progress shots can be seen via. Kelly's flickr.

Kelly Vivanco's Miao

Finally got a little more settled and finding time to see what I've missed over the past two weeks. Does prove to you how quickly and vast information on the internet travels. Hong Kong was awesome and I haven't got my notebook with me to get the photos downloaded. The only decent vinyl scene I came across was MINDStyle's exhibition of Buff Monster's works at Delay No More, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Manage to get upclose to a 4 foot KAWS Companion.

Heaps of things I missed out but nothing absolutely major. Things that I am still in the loop are like Scavengers Series 2 and couple of upcoming shows. I am actually glad I did not spend any money at all on toys in HK. Maybe a couple of pooh bears that make excellent gifts for my female companions.

Quite a few lovely surprises, mainly excellent custom vinyls by my beloved artists. One of them, Kelly Vivanco, created this beautiful custom Miao for an upcoming show at Subtext on the 14th November.

"Infinity Square" at Distinction Gallery

Just found out about this nicely compiled group of artists show curated by Kelly Vivanco at Distinction Gallery, opening on 13th December. Jeremiah posted a real sweet looking painting entitled "Serene Moment" up at his flickr. I am beginning to look at picking up some mini paintings from my list of favourite artists.

Kelly Vivanco's pieces for Teeny Tiny Art Show III

I first came across Kelly Vivanco's works through her custom Yoka a month back (not surprisingly). It was a fantastic piece of work from the artist and I went into browsing mode and check out her old and current works. I like how her works are simple to the eyes yet filled with richness.

These are few of her pieces for an upcoming group show with Three Graces Gallery opening 5th of September. This show features small paintings from various artists, I thought they are well-priced. Worth checking out.
