Sydney artist Ben Frost is most well known for his confronting and often controversial Pop Art paintings. Using a collage style of unlikely juxtapositions, his artworks are complex mash-ups of popular culture that poke fun at our media and advertising obsessed society. He enjoys playing with his punk band Danger of Death and spending time with his pet beagle 'Bowie'.

Last week I featured on the popular (sic) reality TV program 'The Apprentice' - (the Australian Version).  Here's a part synopsis of the episode from wotnews.com.au :

Ben Frost On The Apprentice Australia

 .. but like manna from the Television Gods the previews for next week's episode finds the over-zealous suits drudging through local art squat Hibernian House, the live-work space of a variety of artists including Ben Frost who rightfully calls two contestants a "comedy act". 

the short 30 second preview/commercial for the episode can be viewed HERE

you can watch the whole episode (epidode 7)  HERE
