  If you are into fine art you should really check out the HK Gallery event they have each year. This years event just passed and they had some really nice pieces there - From Takashi Murakami, Damien Hirst to legendary artists such as Van Goh - it's probably the closest you will get to some of these original pieces in HK except for a few galleries.

  

  Here is a Damien Hirst Piece using a spin wheel to capture the effect. This piece is probably way up a few hundred thousand dollars if not more.

  

  This is a Diamond Dust Damien Hirst print 1000 units each and was going for about $1,400usd. Have to say, it was well worth it. The diamonds dust was coated on top of the print giving a diamond look to the piece and stood about 9x11".

  

  Here are a few of Damien's butterfly pieces. This piece was about 6 feet in height. Damien has his own butterfly farm in Mexico and breeds them there for his paintings. Don't worry - he doesn't breed humans to produce his painted skulls! :)

   

  

  

  Here's a piece of Murakami. The original was very nicely done and if you look at the original up close, it's flawless. This one was sold for $500,000 usd.

  

  Murakami original LV pattern on Canvas (Acrylic) Tightly executed.

  

  I thought this piece was very interesting. The sculpting is very detailed, nice cast.

  

  Just bought a new VisVim bag Visvim has some really nice pieces - very clean cut and simple. Fits the mac laptops perfectly.

  

  

  Chris and I hard at work. Got lots of crazy things going on that we are developing together so stay tuned.

  

  I just got these nicely executed Daft Punk Bear Bricks. Awesome packaging, the box was hugenormous. Solid product. Heh you can see my Jazz Transformer in the background @_@.

  

  Back to skateboarding. Been a skater since I was 13 years old. Had the Lanz, Mark Gonzales, Vision Psycho Stick and my favorite - mini Caballero. I'm ancient haha I remember the Animal Chin days with Tony Hawk and the gang on VHS where we use to watch it over and over again.

  Lately I've been working on our film project, client projects, my personal gallery and comics - will be heading to Japan pretty soon and looking forward to it.

  Wish all of you continued success and peace be with you all.
