DMS - HOAKSER collaboration test piece...

   Through the power of the internet, I've been lucky enough to team up with DMS and work together on our first test piece...We've talked quite a lot through emails before, about a few ideas, so I was  extra pleased to say the least when we started kicking ideas around about some toys we're going to work on together..You'll have to wait to find out more about those.. I've seen a few work in progress shots of sculpts and pieces DMS has been working on for our project, including a 3cm tall spray can as an accessory!!. These are going to be so cool..The more I hear about them the better they get..More info coming soon..

  We've had a few other ideas whilst discussing the above, which brings me to this..This is our first test piece for a separate idea we came up with..DOPE ON PLASTIC..
Designed by me and executed by DMS, this is the first tester and I'm really pleased with how it turned out.. I drew up the 2 layers on paper to make a HOAKS piece and sent it over.. DMS worked his magic and hours later sent me the first shots of the cut pieces...Hours after that he sent me shots of it painted up looking like a deadly rusty weapon,AMAZING!!



  We've discussed offering  a "have your own name" service, as well as doing words to buy, and maybe paint yourself? We still haven't sorted all the fine details yet, but larger scale ones will be available for wall mounting, aswell as smaller desk top / shelf versions.More information will be added as and when we work it out..If you'd like one, or more information drop either one of us a mail or message..

Masked man canvas - original - the brains and the heart?


   Finished off this morning, and just being added to my store is this..My latest masked man freestyle sketch, drawn straight up in paint markers onto an abstract spray painted background..The neon pink one from 2 posts ago sold this morning, which is why I'm so eager to get this up before the paint dries.
This piece is called " The brains and the heart?"
Available to buy from HERE for £49.00 plus postage...
Thanks for looking....More coming soon...

the derelict rooz

 
After the response I had from my "abandoned munny" I posted a few weeks back, I decided to do a similar custom, this time on a Rooz..
The abandoned munny found a nice home in Italy, which I was really pleased about..He's over there with my name all over him right now..That was the whole point..Where ever he would've ended up I'd have been happy...It's nice to know I've got tags up on a surface in Italy now though..

This is "Derelict Rooz" and he has just gone up for auction in my store, starting at 99p... I like not setting a price, and I like not knowing where this one will end up.. To take a look at the auction or to join in.. 
Thanks for looking...

New freestyle masked man canvas


 Just added to my store is another canvas I painted featuring my masked man character.. Like the others in previous posts, I painted the background in spraypaints and drew my character on top in paint markers without any marking up or  room for errors..
 This one has his head and his heart connected which help him control the cans connected to his thoughts..
 All other versions I've recently painted have sold quite quickly .This one is available to buy  from here ..
Thanks for looking...

The can saga continues..

This is an on-going project of mine, and has been for years..Available to buy through EBAY (only in the U.K) , with a choice of having your own name, picking the colours, or just choosing from the one offs in store, are these..I have recycled every can I've emptied, and more, into these one off models....Here's a few of my latest customs, some of them, like the fireman ninja and names are customer requests.. 

. You can see a lot more of these on my website. Thanks for looking..

the masked man..original thoughts canvas..


   As it's so cold outside I've been painting a lot indoors lately, working on a few new canvasses and some toys..Here's another masked man canvas titled "Original Thoughts" and was freestyle'd late one night way past my bed time..


   Like a few of these canvases in previous posts, I drew this in paint pens straight up without any guide lines or errors.. I know this character so well, I've been painting him for so long I can draw something which resembles him with my eyes closed.. I didn't take progress shots like I did with the few before.. It was far too late and I should have been in bed..
   This piece is painted on a circular stretched canvas and is 40 cm in diameter and 1.5cm deep.. And is now up for grabs from HERE for £59.99 or a near offer//..  Thanks for looking...

New Canvas work..


Here's a little glimpse of a painting I've just added to my store.. Starting at 99p and ending in 7days, this piece measures 20cm x 20cm and is 2 cm deep..I like making some of my work available to everyone, at a price that  I don't set.. If you made a piece of string how long would it be? how thick would it be? how much would you sell it for?
If you're interested in a closer look.. Head over to my EBAY store..

New Painting. Religious Studies...


   This is my newest piece I've been working on lately, it's finally finished and framed..I've called it "Religious Studies"..
   I chose this title because of the obvious religious looking figure in the piece, and because I'm not religious at all. Don't get me started on why I'm not - each to their own.. 
Graffiti is my religion - meaning I do it religiously..I study it hard, the same way you should if you believe in something.. 
   I had a rough idea of what I wanted to try and do when I first saw this picture, but I never really plan a painting out too much..I knew I wanted it to look like everything belonged there, maybe the Priest is blessing my work? 
   I included loads of details in this piece, look for some of my masked man custom cans, some KIDROBOT  vinyls (a dunny and a fatcap) sketches on paper and a sketch book with a tiny "ohell my name is" sticker, some spray paint and a few more for you to discover yourselves..To graffiti artists the book SUBWAY ART is our Bible, it was the first book, the reason why graffiti exploded,so I had to include that as it fitted so well..

    The piece measures 28cm tall and 23cm wide.. In its original frame which I re-sprayed black and clear coated, it measures 31cm x 26.5cm.. The original piece before I vandalised it was by Nicolaes Maes (1634 - 1693) and was titled "An Old Woman Praying".. and I hope it wasn't valuable!! Here's how it looks before and after..


To see a few more paintings like this by me, check out the PRE-GRAFFALITES section of my website.. Prints of some of these will be available soon.. This piece will be for sale, a few people have asked me for "dibs" on first refusal of this style painting so it's not going on sale just yet.. If you are interested or want to be added to that list let me know and drop me an email hoaksah@hotmail.com
Thanks for looking..

New Piece...Mentally Developed Sketches..

   Today I managed to get a quick piece up..in the cold.....I didn't wan't to hang around for too long so kept it sketchy and with no fill.. This took just under 2 hours to complete including the emulsion, which was still wet when I finished.




Dominant Species graffiti figure 4..."Unknown"




   Another new addition to my latest customs, joining the Dominant Species range is the fourth figure.. As I said before, the names suit there underwear choices,so this guy is called "Unknown"
   I made him like all my others by converting, mutilating and painting an old wrestling figure...To watch a quick video of how the first 2 came to life - click here....


Just like all of the other Dominant Species, ( "Union Jack", "Whyfront?" and "Pokadot" ) "Unknown" comes with an original sketch featuring himself, with a Hoaks piece..and a certificate...


  The sketches are hand drawn by me, in pencil and white pen on quality thick A4 brown card.. These are created after the toys are made, I don't work from the sketches to make these toys.

  "Unknown" stands 16cm tall and has articulation in his waist, shoulders, elbow joints, wrists and knees allowing him to be positioned in a variety of poses.. This is not a toy, it's a collectable one off custom figure..

 This figure and sketch will be available from my Bigcartel store  for £69.99
