Imitation / Flattery. Pt 2

Or is it just plain and simple plagiarism...? I recieve loads of eflyers about art exhibitions all over the place and this morning I got one for an exhibition at London's respected SPACE gallery for an exhibition entitled "MUMU - Malice and Misunderstanding" by Thomas Raat...

The featured piece of "work" (below) is credited to Raat, 2008.

All we want is gold...

I've shown this before, but on this 'special' day, I felt compelled to show it again and perhaps gain a new and appreciative audience... It's a piece of personal work I did a while back summing up my thoughts on the Olympics. The English and Chinese both say; "United By Greed. All We Want is Gold".

Reasons to be Cheerful Pt 1

Sunset on Saturday night at Hong Kong's very own South Bay with my son, my friends, some mellow dub in the background and a cold beer in my hand... A reminder to myself to quit moaning and appreciate life more...

Vintage Skateboard Glamour

I've just started work on a new project for a client creating a brand identity for a new skate concept (top secret hush hush) and while I was doing a bit of research I stumbled across these old skateboard ads from the UK in the 70s.

My Son - Movie Star and Gangster

Young TFC made is movie debut last week at the tender age of 10 months. He had a small (yet powerful) role in Andrew Lau's (Infernal Affiars, initial D, Confession of Pain) new movie starring Shu Qi and Andy Lau... It was a demanding role - especially as he was on set during nap time - but the young actor was an instant success and now of course he's a bit too cool for school.

It's a happy day...

Three things that make me smile - the sunshine coming through the blinds in the morning, Mrs FC and the young Tristan FC - all in one image... What a way to start the day... : )

Wakeboard Comp - Sunday

Pefect now the sun has (finally) come out again - this Sunday it's the Hyperlite Asian Wakeboard Comp at Tai Po Waterfront Park. There's really no better way to spend a nice summer's day. And even better - this is the first year they've opened up the competition to WakeSkaters. Nice one, bro's...

Skateboarding is painful series - Jay FC

I was never that good anyway. And this just about stopped me skating ever again, (unless it's on the water), so I'm unlikely to get any better now... It happened during the ChinaStylus / Red Dog Christmas Party '06 at our space in Chaiwan. Stupid stupid stupid. And it hurt like hell. You know what they say about old dogs and new tricks. (Especially old dogs that have had a dozen beers).
