Ben Frost On The Apprentice Australia

I Am A Cereal Killer

GO GET YOUR SHINE BOX exhibition
opening Nov 21st at Brooklynite Gallery www.brooklynitegallery.com

Here's the box I painted . .
The idea of the show is how you would make a living at the end of the world - (ie now)
I decided I would become a Cereal Killer.
What that means, I'm not quite sure, but I know it would definitely snap, crackle and pop!
I think I would come around to your house while you are sleeping and do horrid things to your

Painting I did with CREON last nite

info@benfrostisdead.com — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 08:43:02 +0100

My television has broken and I've kind of been wandering around my house and studio trying toreconcile a life without Life Insurance commercials and Judge Judy.

When I switch the poor thing on, all it gives me is a single horizontal line about 1cm high and the rest is black.

I can still hear Judge Judy at around 3pm, and from the way she speaks, it's kind of like she's calliRead More...

Rambo and Headbands

info@benfrostisdead.com — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 05:45:28 +0100

When I was growing up I wanted to be Rambo. I think it had a lot to do with the
desire to walk around with my shirt off and to have all the lumpy muscle bits
akin to all of the superhero/masters of the universe types.
The headband was definitely appealing, though it's interesting how RambRead More...

'A Case of Goo Goo'
32cm x 40cm
I painted this yesterday onto a piece of cardboard I found at the front of the Korean
store downstairs from my studio. I love all of the crazy and colorful products - and
especially the packaging that they sell down there. This particular box has the words
'Goo Goo' printed on it to describe its contents - which I guess is some kind of Read More...

3 Cool Exhibitions This Week in Sydney

Two Guys from my studio are having a head to head show this Thursday night at
Palmer Projects.
Esjay makes some great stencils - more layers than I care to imagine
for fear it gives me nightmares of blisters on the tips of my fingers. What I really
like also is his use of color - the contrasting highlights give a more abstracted view
of the normal kind of stencillinRead More...

Subtle Breakfast Cereal Design Techniques

info@benfrostisdead.com — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 11:32:47 +0100

Obviously I have a twisted view on breakfast cereal advertising, but the sexual
connotations are blatant. I took these cereal box photos in Walmart - the photographs
of the ladies are quite suggestive, but surely whatever is on their faces isn't what you
think it is. Link to Fake recipes.

The recurring theme of the breakfast cereal box advertising genre, is usually a 'malRead More...

Sleepy Wesson

info@benfrostisdead.com — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 04:56:12 +0100

I just came across this painting/collage that I did in 2006 and forgotten it even existed.
I think it was for a kustom show where each artist had to paint onto a record cover.
Maybe it was a show in Canada - anyways - from memory the album was 'Fire-Side
Sleepy Time Rhymes for Children' or something equally as nauseating.
I painted out all the background and aRead More...

Stairwell Gallery Launch

Last Thursday 6th of August was the launch of the Stairwell Gallery at the Sugarmill
in King's Cross Sydney. 'The Movement' painted the walls and I did a feature paste-up
wall in the entrance, as well as curating the artwork on the walls and in the bar upstairs.
Most of the artists I selected were from Worlds End Studio, and from Stupidkrap.com.
The artwork is all behind perspex boxes, and is now open until the end of the month.
