FUSE

2010-04-08T16:53:00.000-07:00

I have some work in the latest issue of FUSE art+culture+politics Magazine, Some collages I made while at the Banff Centre accompany a very good article about the Aboriginal Curatorial Collective. To make these, I tore apart some art magazines and reworked the content into designs representative of different indigenous groups.

this is what i did at the banff centre

A series of four screenprinted images. Each print is five layers/colors. Some are more because of split fountain effects. I really never feel like blogging anymore.

Here is a glance at a photo series I did. Maybe you'll get to see them closer one day!!!!!
The concept is bscly self-portraits in the bush, where my being and the woods kind of meet in the middle to create a sense of myself that I cant really define it might be because you cant really look at your own face in the woods only pine cones and twigs and stuff like i said i really dont feel like blogging anymore

Some images from my studio:

2010-02-01T09:28:00.000-08:00

In a show next week in Ottawa with some wierdo friends of mine from across kanada. Poster by Mike Deforge!!!(click to see all)

Also here are some snapshots of my progess here in Banff. I KNOW I KNOW the documentation is rly bad right now, and I still have work to do on these prints. I'm "stamping" each print in the edition with a small screenprinted signature to verify it's authenticity.

Hi Everyone. Here is an update on my residency.
Everyone gets their own studio. This is mine:
I printed out some acetates for printing and hung them on the wall so I can stare at them.

Desk detail. Just look at all that JUNK

Some stuff on the wall for Inspiration:

A part of what Im working on here requires some photographic elements, so I went out in the woods and took pictures.

This is me in the middle of the night putting a self-timer on my camera and running into the bushes

I'm not going to post images of work right away because I don't know what's going to happen yet.

kind of a wierd post

2009-12-18T11:19:00.000-08:00

On January 5th I'm flying to Banff, Alberta, to do a seven week artist residency. I'm going to be making prints in the mountains. The reason why I haven't posted anything new latley is because I have been so busy trying to allocate the resources to get there (funding, supplies, a sherpa, etc) and it's been a long, long road. An indirect result of that is wacky and Out There illustration jobs.

This one is the promotional material for a "7 Deadly Sins" themed art auction that happened a few weeks ago at Gallery 101 in Ottawa. They ended up not using the text, but they used the rest.

Because the theme was PRIDE I figured I would draw the evil inner self, the polite outer self, and the projected intangible energy of self-importance. U kno what I mean? dont u h8 ppl like that?????

Moving rite along, here is a graphic for a film being realeased from local film distribution company Burnbury Films. Behold, BIGFOOT'S REFLECTION.

I felt it was important to portray Bigfoot in a dignified manner. I was deeply inspired by the graphic for The Lion King on Broadway (not even joking)

And finally, something totally pragmatic and uplifting. When I'm not making mentally-ill poster art for anti-social musicians, I ocassionally do illustration for Mohawk language television from my hometown. These are from a tale about a dog who helps a beaver build his dam, despite their differences. It's a tale of friendship, acceptance, and helping others.

On that positive note, HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!!!!

2009-12-01T20:50:00.000-08:00

If your in Ottawa this Saturday come to a show I'm in at Gallery 101. See all the info HERE

I also did the design for the event promotion, as you can see BELOW

Shearing Pinx show poster. This show killed. Ahna was the biggest thing for me.

Dead Wife is taking a tour of the wilderness of Ontario next weekend: an African restaurant in Toronto, and a basement in Ottawa the next day. Lisa and I made the Toronto poster together from a bunch of heads we drew together one night. I did the layout for this one.

We are also playing right when we get back, with Red Mass. We collabed on this poster too. But this time Lisa did the layout, and Choyce from Red Mass added some stuff as well:

We are going to use the money we make on the road to buy me a new kick pedal. And a hi-hat clutch. or so i hear

2009-09-20T13:40:00.000-07:00

Human Eye poster. I only used, like, one color. (red)

Check these out. Somebody once called them "Urban Rave Totems", but I think that's racist. so I'm just going to call them "FOR SALE!"

They have been hanging in my house for a while and I'm finally willing to let them go. They are glyphy representations of my friends. You can have one in your living room! I'm never making these again!

If your interested: walterkscott@gmail.com

Own a "one of a kind" piece of "outsider art" before they end up on Etsy.com or something.

Lisa Czech (who plays guitar in Dead Wife) and I collabed for the artwork. And here is is.

2009-06-20T12:52:00.000-07:00

The last two posters I've done have had mandatory logos to put in. I usually don't have too much trouble with this kind of stuff and just cram everything at the bottom.

This poster is for a cool Second Life project based out of Williamsburg that I'm currently interning for, called Brooklyn is Watching. I kind of suprised myself at how easy it was to make something a little less hairy for once. Maybe I should work for Lavalife.

so some exciting stuff over hurr like

this collab with seripop I did a few days ago. Went over to Chloe and Yannick's and they fed me some peasoup and homemade hummus and we got down to it. Three sheets of paper completley filled with drawings becomes this 7 color beauty. Going to the Die later to watch the magic happen. What a fan boy!

I made this poster for my pal Tobias, in exchange for the new Grand Trine/Holy Cobras tape Every household should have one.

Some drawings I submitted to Jesjit's next Free Drawings. Very excited to be in it! Also very excited for the opening in June- Dead Wife is playing with Brides and our pals Gay Beast.

These are drawings for the next Yamantaka///Sonic Titan installation. Alaska is going to chop n' spew them into a collage backdrop. Our next show is on Friday in T.O for Youth Week.

2009-04-13T08:07:00.001-07:00

Evil head of snakes for projection. Woke up from a snake nightmare this morning! Probably caused by watching this video. Officially "can never watch it again"- actual terror stopped me from Embedding it.

BOGUS MERCH

2009-03-13T14:04:00.000-07:00

My band Dead Wife is playing an art party tomorrow night so we decided to get crafty and create a whole bunch of "sustainable" merchandise made out of our fashion-informed refuse. Like here- you see that we've taken spreads from our discarded Star and InTouch magazines and have emblazoned our band name across them with acrylic paint. And hey, some of these headlines are still relevant: "Nicole's Pregnant!" - who knows, maybe she still is?

And here- I had some split-fountain flats leftover from a screenprinting project just laying around the apartment, with no specific purpose. After all, it's not decorating season-yet! So we collaged over these as well:

We are looking forward to seeing how far we can push these vile objects on people. If people like 'em we'll totally make more.

2009-01-11T22:04:00.000-08:00

My friends and I (including fellow blogger Lisa Czech) have started a band about a month ago called DEAD WIFE - we've finally posted some demos on our Myspace.

Also exciting is the fact that our friends in Montreal have all started bands too at basically the same time, so now there's always something to do and we are never bored!

Remember, fashion is the gift that keeps on giving this Holiday Season!

Below you will find a quick flyer I made today, for an afterparty this weekend (click to see the whole thing).

Most of the components were drawn at Starbucks today while I was sitting with Olivia Mew, we talked about that surfer guy on TMZ (what's his DEAL?) and the concept for her new Twitter account (which she's already converted into a blog anyway).

Also, I'm editing a new video, and it's Expozine next weekend! Let's hope this seasonal affective disorder (S.A.D) keeps at bay until then. So far it's only stopped me from washing my hair, despite that I'd say I'm pretty seasonally EFFECTIVE right now!

See you when I'm done school in 80 million years.

Here's a quick flyer I did today for a show going on near my apartment. I'm really hoping this Squalor place keeps it up for a while and doesn't run into any trouble from the cops. It's like the sign on the door says: Take your cigarrettes for a walk, people!

I don't have a digital camera anymore, since dropping my last one on it's face, so here are some neat photos of the Vice party installation taken on a disposable camera (JeansCam-the kind that look like they're made of DENIM)

This is what it looked like before Becky and I cut everything out:

And here is Becky as Vanna White, putting tape on the backs of things and generally Holding It All Together. Thanks Becky!

See more of this stuff, and candid shots of some wierd people, on my flickr
