Oral Stimuli

This illustration was made for the Dutch Playboy magazine. It accompanied a short story written by Belgium writer Herman Brusselman.
Mr. Brusselman claims to be the flemish king of cunnilingus due to his special technique: singing, up close and personal. As the AD at Playboy didn't want a too obvious visualization of the story's topic, I based it on a painting by 15th century Belgium painter Jan van Eyck.

The set is for sale online at the bambidotcomshop.

Darth Vega & Sky Walker

2008-02-04T01:29:00.000-06:00

Looking for inspiration is the worst waste of time, luckily I have kids, so I don't have to look very far. This new image here below is called "Darth Vega & Sky Walker", inspired by a visit to the men's room in the Bronx Zoo, Vega Spring (my daughter), Sky (my son), Star Wars and some other stuff. As lack of sleep has become an integral part of my work flow, I am calling this new series "Insomnia".

Siu Yin Chau fall winter 2008

2008-02-04T00:25:00.000-06:00

One of the best knitwear designers in New York, Siu Yin Chau, just came out with her fall winter 2008 collection. It's being sold through Opening Ceremony and should be available in stores this fall. You can see the whole collection at www.siuyinchau.com.
Siu Yin Chau, a.k.a. Tiffany Chau also happens to be my wife and the mother of my beautiful children, Vega & Sky. Yes this is blatant self promotion.

Lost Art - Girl with Chloé Shades

2008-01-27T00:28:00.000-06:00

To quote Dora the Explorer, "I need your help!". This piece was part of a show I did at the Totem gallery in New York, march 2001. It ended up in the UNIT (my rep) office on Walker street also in New York, where it got stolen.

It is a limited edition C-Print, edition 1/5, mounted on plexi-glass, 36.75" X 48".

If anyone knows the whereabouts of this piece, I would very much like to know. Don't worry, you don't have to give your name, your identity will be kept secret, really.

Mobile Fawn on display

2008-01-24T20:13:00.000-06:00

This "Mobile Fawn" project was inspired by an image I made for my daughter Vega. It is called Vega's Garden, I ended up making several statues of the deer. There is a little Vega inside the biggest one, playing video games.

The Mobile Fawn was displayed during the "Art Taipei 2006" and has been traveling around Taiwan ever since.

In december 2007, it was crated up and shipped to Hong Kong and displayed there during the "Hong Kong Art Buffet", organized by the "Fubon Art Foundation".
