Singapore - Silly Wabbit, Trix are for Kids

I had a live painting show together with Methamphibian at the end of the year party for MTV Asia, in Singapore, last weekend... here's what happened...






And here's Methamphibian at work.





It was pretty crazy, I left Thursday immediately after work. Landed at 5 pm on Friday, had the show four hours later, painted for about three hours and left on Sunday... landed at 5 am, Monday morning and then went straight to work.
Oh, and on an unrelated note... I quit my job today. Exciting!

RIP

Something interesting happened yesterday. Peat told me about this guy from Denmark ripping off some of my work. The thing is, about six month ago he contacted me because that same guy had ripped off som of Peat's paintings. Peat asked me to translate the guys site. I also contacted the guy and the gallery representing him to let them both know that this of course was unacceptable. He immediately took the images down.
Now he had put them up again + added another one of Peat's peices... without knowing it was Peat's selfportrait... and the two he stole from me.
On his site he had listed his full name as well as which university he is currently studying art history... so I contacted every singel one in the faculty and told them about what had happened and gave some links worth checking out.
They were quick to reply and assured me they took this seriously. In my reply thanking them for their help I CC'd the guy. Less than half an hour later he took his site down. I see a bitch slap of reality in his near future.
Here the ones he stole from me...



And yeah, here are the originals...


More info and Peat's pictures and views on the matter can be found on my favorite blog, You Thought We Wouldn't Notice.
