My entry for the London Calling challenge. I found this difficult as I’ve never been to London to get a real ‘feel’ for the place, but here’s my two-cents worth: I have given a big nod towards graffiti/street art with the general style of the piece (line work, spray marks and drips) the London skyline gets a look in I couldn’t resist the CCTV camera robot (paranoid android?) with London having over 100 000 cameras throughout the city and finally I’ve included a large rain cloud in reference to the grey, overcast and generally miserable weather. I can’t decide on a colour – according to the challenge we should have one colour option for the shirt – so feel free to let me know what colour you think works best :) Detail: /

Are multiple overlapping CCTV Cameras getting you down? Does the thought of not just stereo 3-D capture of you walking down a perfectly normal street in daylight, but three if not more multiple freaking angles increasingly annoy you? Are you willing to let even more civil liberties slide by? Damnit, just swallow this capsule and let yourself be microchipped already. It’ll solve a lot of problems, and if nothing else a lot of people who are paid to monitor the things will be able to get some sunlight again. Remember : if you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of?
G2050 / cute but sinister surveillance robot
Got bored and modified a leaf macro and eye pics of mine.
Someone is always watching you these days. Do you feel safer for it? I must say that i dont actually have a problem with surveillance cameras … especially not in this day and age. Although those stupid spots on the ground that say security cameras work in this area are pretty dumb. Anyway, This image was just in a dream the other day.
A bit of a rework of an image that was originally created as part of a quadtych series – “Vanishing Point (#’s1-4)” – entered into the Nikon Summer Salon back in 2004 – (now called the Kodak Salon). Was beside myself – read; totally friggin stoked! when the series was awarded – “Best Digital Photomedia Work” The Kodak Salon is now Australia’s largest open entry photomedia exhibition held at The Centre for Contemporary Photography, Fitzroy, Melbourne.
Move along. Move along…. A less-political work incorporating the proliferation of CCTV cameras in London than others I could work on…

Moving from one place to another has never been so easy, thanks to the invention of the ‘moving stairs’. / / The funniest thing about this shot was the fact that a surveillance camera was staring RIGHT AT ME, and I didn’t know it until I brightened my image in RAW. Those who have visited Singapore International Airport can most likely recall soldiers with automatic rifles patrolling the terminal. I pooped my pants when i saw the size of those M16s. / - – - / Taken in Singapore International Airport Terminal 1 @ 4am. Yes it was too early, but I heart symmetry art.. / / MORE WORKS FROM MY PORTFOLIO /

I think I’m being watched… Actually, I’m starting to think I may have to make a decision : should I try to deliberately put more items around themes onto redbubble, or do I continue to attempt to post photos that are all quite different, (or do they all form a certain ‘style’ anyway?). Anyway, CCTV cameras are fairly ubiquitous in my environment, so if anything could become the basis of a recurring theme, they would be it
this took me the longest out of all my tee designs so far
She watches and considers your every move and gesture as you speak with her or him. In the evening she recalls the days events which have been filed in an orderly and easily retrievable manner so as to aid reviewing. Why do you laugh so carefree and joke so easily with them and with me you lower your eyes?

Prismacolour pencils on black paper. Just under A3 size. A self-repairing, self-organising surveillance device, probably a spin off from genetic engineering experiments. Now available as a T Shirt design :-)

Panopticon is Jeremy Bentham’s design for a prison where the inmates are under constant surveillance by unseen guards. This idea from the 18th century is now realized on a much greater scale with CCTV, warrantless wiretapping and loss of privacy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panopticon
