Artists WA – showcasing West Australian artists

“Robots are super cool.”, says Deathbot when asked why that’s about the only thing ever drawn by this middle aged Perth artist. “so’s booze”, he adds, explaining why when you check out any Deathbot shit, said robots are, were or about to be drunk.
“what else are they gonna do? It’s only gonna take ‘em about an hour a day to get all their work done. Then what? The obviously don’t want to hang around with jerk humans, so they’ll just get pissed.”
“What the hell are you talking about?” I demand.
“the future, that’s what.” The future indeed.

Anyway, the pictures are real nice. If idiot industrial designers don’t rip Deathbot off when designing the first wave of mechanical men, then God help us all. We’ll probably end up with some stupid mannequin looking monstrosity. Or worse. Obviously I’m influenced by Deathbot’s pictures, and thus can’t really picture what else robot’s could look like.

Whatever, just look at the pictures. If you like them head over to www.studiorobot.com.au for more sweet robot action, somewhere on the bottom right of the page I think.

Facter became interested in art whilst bombing with various graff crews in Perth during the early 90′s, but moved away from graffiti into the design realm several years later. It is from that early love of graffiti that his passion for art first sprang. After studying art in Queensland he became interested in curating exhibitions and presenting group works, and after several years doing so he finally returned to Western Australia and continued to work in almost complete seclusion, only having begun to show and present his artwork to the outside world in the past two years.

Facters work has evolved over the past fifteen years to a distinctive tech-natural style. Meshing his early graffiti influences with his life-long addiction to science fiction and his passion for traditional Aztec and Maori design has enabled Facter to create a unique personal style which is almost instantly recognisable. With his respect of the natural world, which was instilled in him whilst living in the rainforests of Far North Queensland, Facters works hope to present a harmonious interpolation between visions of the future and the organic world – without the at times too harsh a nature that “bio-mechanical” forms of art usually take. Almost all of his work is drawn in charcoal pencil or artline 0.4/0.8, with as minimal utilisation of photoshop as is possible.

Creepy lives in Perth, Western Australia although he grew up sharing his time between the Solomon islands, Perth, Melbourne and Holland.

Being an early comic book fan influenced creepy’s painting and illustration style quite obviously and helped shape his unique style today. Creepy’s work is inspired by the bizarre people he sees on the streets, humorous observations of life and what it means to exist.
