IDN China

I have a new 6 page feature in the current issue of IDN Magazine out of China. The interview process was really amazing- language barriers, blank spaces, miscommunications and everything... Chinese translated to broken english and at attempt at translating it back to chinese again, its like playing telephone at a 3rd grade party 10,000 miles wide... break out those electronic translators and kiss your grandma

IDN- You ate gold they ate time?

HS- I ate gold and loved it.



IDN-Have you started to light the sky?by using some branched lines to described the lightning?how’s your new project?

HS- I heard that its possible for the air to ignite when a fire is present. For the air to just go up in flames, fire in the sky. I’m really attracted to the elements in big weather and have started a series with a lot of explosions, combustion, collision and lightning. In some way this level of uncontrollable phenomenon is very powerful for me- symbolically and emotionally. It is also a metaphor for emotion to some degree- I’m just trying to express the highest level of physical natural occurrence.


IDN- What’s your conceptually ideas behind such skeletons/wild animals/diamond among the arrows,or the kiss of the skeletons?there be something different from orient world,it is west civilization,how do you feel about this?

HS- ‘Bonne Nuit, Crystal Cave’ defines overwhelming human emotion and everpresent existence of death and the inevitable. The greatest conflict we endure is dealing with contrast- expressing this through imagery or ideas is always very satisfying. I use the iconic elements in my works as direct and representative ways to portray this idea of contrast. This cycle of creation within our existence is constant, in all civilizations. In death’s arm’s never stray, danse macabre.

Sensing space

Picture me airbrushing.



I've had a lot of revelations as of late. My life can be one giant epic metal fantasy super highway- even more so than it is now, if I just turn it up a notch... its not going to take much. I'm definiatley gonna need an airbrush gun. Also, some leather pants, and leather fringe... somebody is gonna need to own a really tuff bike, I think I'll cut the sleeves of my acid washed black denim jacket and get a panther- then I'll airbrush the shit out of the hood's of all my friends cars and do some bikini photoshoots at sunset. What?? You've never stared into the center of the flame before? Fire is sweet!!

I'm in Books.

Ran into '268 Motivos para Disenar' that Promo Press put out earlier this year while I was recently in Barcelona and remembered that I have work in it. I was over at Ciclic dropping off some of the new Love, Grandarray books. If you're ever in Barcelona, be sure to visit Ciclic- Dave curates the most amazing collection of art, design, photography and architecture books and films from all over the universe.

Concebido como muestrario de estilos y técnicas contemporáneas en el terreno del diseño de patrones decorativos, 268 MOTIVOS PARA DISEÑAR es una completa guía visual que reúne más de 250 espectaculares y, en algunos casos, inéditos ejemplos creados por 83 diseñadores internacionales de renombre con sus aplicaciones en los campos de la moda, diseño industrial, diseño gráfico, packaging, interiorismo y arquitectura. Encontramos, a modo de ejemplo, patrones plasmados en telas, papeles de pared, fondos de pantalla para ordenador o azulejos, patrones con motivos abstractos, geométricos, realistas o surrealistas. Este libro incluye además una completa biografía de cada uno de los diseñadores seleccionados. Adjunta un cd-rom que contiene los  268 motivos más 50 de libre uso.

Which reminds me, MaoMao also put out the Cutting Edge Patterns and Textures book, as well as an Atlas of Illustration book that I'm a part of as well... sometimes its just hard to keep up. I'm trying.


People are irresistibly drawn to patterns. And many graphic designers are irresistibly drawn to creating patterns. Cutting-Edge Patterns and Textures features over 250 of their results, collected from 83 designers, artists, and graphic design studios from around the globe. Some are simple, monochromatic designs; others are intricate, colourful explosions. Together they represent the latest trends in graphic pattern design.

Stina Persson

God. I love these so much. Always have, always will. Thank you Stina

No Pattern

Chuck over at No Pattern does some amazing work. Consistently. I've been a huge fan of his for some time now. I'd loke to thank him for the recent posts and support, and mind blowing rays of light. I can't wait for my copy of Wandering Off Into Space.

You're still looking good, as promised

Kissing Cousins

The new Pillar of Salt album and LP is on the brink... I recently completed working with Kissing Cousing to wrap up their new album and am anxiously anticipating its release and the event we are planning at Origami Records in LA this July. I'll be creating a full installation to go with the release of Pillar of Salt. I'll keep you posted... Heather is an amazingly talented musician and friend.

xxx Tim Bret Day xxx

A lot of my inspirations to begin creating some of my new photographic works can be credited to this guy, he is so good. The campaign illustrations he's done for Agent Provocateur are the most captivating pieces I've seen in awhile. I thank you.

You're Last Supper Ever.

More Despair. The conquest of two worlds. Island of fire, sea of flame. Noir, my love. The surrender. Black lightning. Suffer my desire. Snake mother. Bed of black roses. Secrets of vengeance. Heart's blood. Black magic holiday. You can't win. Dark voices. Night land. Black dust. The dark tide. Forevermore. In these arms I keep. Clash of unions. The climax of a species.

Plazm Threads

Plazm is an independent local business in Portland, Oregon, they put out a magazine up there and do an amazing job working to promote the arts, social change, and environmental awareness. I recently worked with them on a collaborative tee that will accompany new subscriptions... avaliable in the fall, only with Plazm. Black v-necks?!!? Can't wait.


The Wanderings.

Nike 6.0 preview

... a little something to look forward to with Nike 6.0's like of graphic tees and outerware, as well as an upcoming group show with original pieces from the artists involved.

In the shadow of the night

In death's arms never stray. The road goes ever on. Pray for me evening frights. Darkness weaves. Fields of the setting sun. Black roses tell a story. Caves of ocean. Spirit fire and rouge. The conquest of two worlds. Since the beginning. The night herald. Destiny's winds of fate. Out of the forest and into the light. Purple of Cassius. Bonne nuit crystal cave. The serpent's only true twilight. Leaving the crusade to fate. Darkness falls forever. Beyond the fields we know. Tepid Neon frozen clarity. The glow o the shadow's end. Rouge spirit weaves. The time of things to come. Conflict of the summer's sun. On the 7th night. Black dawn brings me here. Eternal Moon. Emerald realm. Winter's Prophecy.

Love as usual...

Love, Grandarray

WORSHIP THEE KINDLY THE DARK HAND THAT GUIDES ME

Recently saw Skinner's show at 111 Minna in SF... recently lost my mind to the shadow of the night. Thank you darkness. Thank you metal. Thank you evening light. Welcome to Hell.

Euro-Space

Each morning I awake in a different state of confusion. I'm spending the next few weeks travelling around Europe. Nobody ever told me the sun never sets in this place. Nobody ever told me that the water in Barcelona glistened like gold. Why would anybody ever want to be anywhere else? This place is perfect. Which reminds me... the black plague, black death, London is burning, sunday bloody sunday sin queso por favor.... uno mas, solo uno mas Forever.

Twilight and Fate

Coming in July at Thinkspace Gallery...
