new ZHAO - GIANT, by Gentle Mental on Apr 6, 2012 3:13:55 GMT 1, what the f**k are you on about?
totally missed this (because the golden boy clip was so good)
ok to answer your question, i was giving a brief account of a pre-dinner chat i was having with zhao and friends at highly framable at a coffeeshop in Singapore.
why are you so angry?

new ZHAO - GIANT, by Gentle Mental on Apr 5, 2012 11:54:28 GMT 1, hello all,
gm here, reporting LIVE from the HQ of HF (singapore) now.
zhao and the gang are having a deep pre-hawker-centre-and-tiger-beer discussion on what the print can be...
i personally feel GIANT is the right word, but zhao is having second thoughts.
And yes, though this is only a test-print, zhao says the final piece is going to be really badly cut as well. and clumsily sprayed. zhao is an old man. with hands too carpal tunneled to cut a detailed stencil.
and it's how zhao likes his non-commercial work. he is sick and tired of photo-shopping retouching and "crafting".
the group is working on another thing as well which is very very interesting. And it's drying over there in the corner. Man, these guys are BUSY!
another artist, "GOLDEN BOY" just showed his notebook of his latest idea, the crowd loves it. could that be the next print? decisions, decisions...
good times!
i'm hungry....gotta go!
;D

The ยฃ50 Art Thread, by Gentle Mental on Mar 29, 2012 1:03:35 GMT 1, posting it on behalf of my friends at Singapore's Highly Framable...
highlyframable.bigcartel.com/product/zhao-the-chairman-blue-skies
only ยฃ41, not many left...
title: โTHE CHAIRMAN (BLUE SKIES)โ
artist: zhao
edition size: 41 varied edition (each unique)
price: ยฃ41
medium: 4-colour, acrylic, hand-finished silkscreens
Size: 37 x 30 cm (approx) 300g/m2 acid-free watercolor paper
markings: titled, signed and numbered by artist.
coa: highly framable
artistโs statement on THE CHAIRMAN series:
โi was inspired by how public offices have A3 photos of their leaders, gold framed to be worshipped and reminded that he is the highest high, watching over you. i believe, as a counter move, every art-loving home and office cubicle should hang a picture of Ai Weiwei as Chairman Mao, it should be an image made angrily, in a shoddy, made-in-china mass produced Warholian silkscreen way ยญโ a method of printmaking which is, coincidentally, the only way I know how to make prints. Serendipity? Sure, why not.โ
about the artist:
zhao is a singaporean, heโs been in the business of making designs and films for over a decade, but he has no formal training as an artist, and it shows.
google him and you wonโt find anything, because he doesnโt quite exist yet. We believe zhao has great ideas and would love for him to keep making more stuff for us in days to come.
your very early support of this young (old) artist would be greatly appreciated by the artist and everyone here at highly framable.
thank you.

JOSEPH KONY 2012, by Gentle Mental on Mar 8, 2012 15:45:30 GMT 1, the biggest thing we need to do is to make him famous. put him in the spot light, put uganda in the spotlight. tweet facebook viral the mutha like it's the second comin'
money giving is ok, but ripples are what we need make to cause a tidal wave.
even if the whole thing also serves some political or personal motives, stopping kony and preventing more children from harm would be worth the mouse clicks...
