'THE OUTSIDERS'

Group Show at Ironside Warehouse

Opening: Saturday, January 7th 2012
Show runs for one week only

“A group show in a warehouse by some train tracks.”

Celebrating the bravery of the creative outsider. The individual artist can face an aspect of social and economical barriers of the art world that is obscurely outside of the art making process. 

This show is about exhibiting the work of artists from the outside, figuratively or by dialogue and context. This grouping brings together a variety of artists from Miami and New York.

Kim Jong-il 

North Korea’s neighbours and the United States were on high alert Monday after the death of leader Kim Jong-il plunged one of the world’s most heavily militarised regions into fresh uncertainty.

China and Russia offered condolences and support for their ally nation’s new leaders, while Western states expressed hope that a change in leadership could ease North Korea out of decades of extreme isolation and better the lives of its long suffering people.

Kim suffered a heart attack while travelling on a train, North Korean state media said, setting up the autocratic, well-armed and nuclear-ambitious state for only its second leadership change since the Korean war ended in an uneasy truce in 1953.

Many experts have warned that a transition could lead to a period of instability. In a reminder of the permanent volatility on the divided peninsula, South Korean media reported that the North test fired a short-range missile off its eastern coast.

The North’s biggest ally, China, expressed official grief over Kim’s sudden death and, in an important signal, threw its weight behind his apparent successor, Kim Jung-un.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper urged North Korea to “close this sad chapter in its history” and called on it new leadership to promote “the well-being of its people and stability on the Korean peninsula.”

“Kim Jong-il will be remembered as the leader of a totalitarian regime who violated the basic rights of the North Korean people for nearly two decades,” Mr Harper said in a statement.

“We hope his passing brings positive change allowing the people of North Korea to emerge from six decades of isolation, oppression and misery. The regime’s reckless decisions have resulted in North Korea being an impoverished nation and a country isolated from the international community because of its dangerous nuclear proliferation and ballistic missile programs,” Mr Harper added.

Soy wax candles

Why Soy Wax?

It is eco friendly. No harsh chemicals or petroliums. It is safe for all of the family, including those with asthma.

Aside from health benefits, the wax is also pure, and burns for a much longer period. One small candle burns for up to 15 hours!

Soy Wax also throws its scent in a much more classy, subtle fashion. You know how cheap scented candles can almost 'choke you'? These release their natural fragrance over time so that you are bathed in decadence!

I'm No Clone Bitches.

DID YOU KNOW: Marvel, as trying to increase sales, created a "Clone Story", in which Peter found out that he was a clone of the real Spider-Man and that the real Spidey was "Ben Reilly", a guy created partly for recapturing the old Spidey Spirit, which had partially changed during the decades.

The idea backfired, People got mad finding out that they had read about a fake, started boycotting and Marvel desperately had to change Pete back
as the Original Spidey. Now the clone story is for most fansthe most hated story of decades of Spider-writing.

Bath Melts - Cleopatra eat your heart out!

Take one little ball of bliss, pop into your bath just before it is full, and watch as it glides, sizzles and melts, leaving your water glistening, your senses bathed with your favourite decadent aroma, and your skin as soft as a babie's bottom! 

These little beauties come as a bag of 7, that's one for every day of the week if you dare! Wrapped with a bow, like a little bag of candy, they are pure shea and cocoa butter oils, mixed with a little bicarb for the fizz, and real vermicelli and decadent oils!

We adore the chocolate orange melts... Terry eat your heart out! 

Ruour has it that cleopatra liked to bathe in asses milk because it left her skin smooth and prevented ageing. we think that our bath melts would impress her should she be here today to appreciate them

lather it up baby - soap soap baby!

Our soaps are just gorgeous. Sorry to blow our own trumpet but it's true! They come in these big, sexy, 250g blocks. You can cut it into cubes if you are feeling creative (as they are so soft!) or use it all up for yourself!

We wanted to keep them 'fuss free'. A block of soap that tells it like it is. No frills, no additives, just 100% natural, organic ingredients, and additive, and SLS free so that no damage is done to sensitive skin and eyes.

A raw bar, ready to be trimmed and polished by hand, check out the chunkiness of it. Looks kinda like a slab of chocolate. You can choose your colour and flavour like with all of our products, and each bar is laden with softening butters, cocoa & shea, to truly care for your delicate skin

No nasty stripping agents, our soap is SLS free and comes packed full of cocoa and shea butter to leave your skin feeling soft, moisturised, and supple

You don't even need to worry about using Miracle Lotion right after using the soap, because there is no drying effect whatsoever!

You've been working on this unauthorized street project this year of 2011,

Targeting prime advertisement spaces like these bus stops,

Replacing the major ads to your bold and strong images you created that can be also controversial.

great  concept   a r t

What is the concept?

Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket.

'YARN BOMBING'

thanks to  'Generation WTF' in fb for the resourcesharing of all sorts.

 I love my town look like this!!!!

Yarn Bombing may last for years, they are considered non-permanent, and, unlike graffiti, can be easily removed if necessary. Nonetheless, the practice is still technically illegal, though it is not often prosecuted vigorously.

I love my funky little 

She's 

Fierce!

work it!!

wait,

it's like,

'where

you

going?

.....

orgasmic oils!

Orgasmic? Hell yeah baby!

These oils are in a league of their own and we like to keep our recipie top secret!

An eclectic blend of butters and oil, mixed together with your choice of flavour, and you have a multi-functional product that can turn bath time into spa time, or even spice up an evening with your lover as it can be used as a massage oil

And it doesn't end there... because of the purity of this product, you can also use it as a body oil, or even use a smidgen to flatten down split ends!

All in all this is a wonder product that will last you for what seems like an eternity... a little goes a long way!

Top tip: you don't need to use lotion if you pop this in your bath as this leaves your skin feeling like silk for hours!

massage bars - for one or two?

Cocoa and Shea Butter make up the base of these babies, and each one is flavoured to suit your desires!

There is nothing else that we need to say about our massage bars really - we like to keep it simple

Only question is : How will you use yours?

For yourself: use as an alternative to miracle lotion and apply to dry and cracked bits

Or how about using it to add sheen to your temples, cheek bones, and brow bone?

You can even use this to take away dry ends on your hair and add shine!

For two: Do we really need to give you suggestions on what to do with a massage bar and another gorgeous body? Erm no... but what we will say is, let your imagination go wild, and don't be afraid to have a nibble! (oo err!) Our bars are 100% natural and organic so are fine to taste if you get lost in the throws of passion

Each bar lasts for multiple uses and so why not store it in the fridge to harden between sessions

Choose from Angel Baby Massage bar... the cute innocent looking one, with a heart with wings.... bless!

Or a big hearty, solid, chunk of a bar, no frills, decadant bliss!

Cocoa Butter

Cocoa Butter is simply adorable and the stuff that we use, is organic and also sourced from Fair Trade Farmers in Ghana. We buy it in bulk and it looks like the block in the photograph. Hard, decadent - and simply wonderful for your mind, body & spirit.

Cocoa butter is a stable and dry butter. It can be used in combination with other natural butters to create rich blends. We use it as our main base for our Miracle Lotion, Massage Bars, & bath melts - cocoa butter works with the other natural ingredients, reacts to the temperature of the body and melts over the skin, making it supple and smooth.

The butter is a natural emulsifier and softening for the skin. It is said to effectively relieve itchy, dry skin when applied topically. We use it across our entire range of products for its softening, moisturising and conditioning properties. It is great for preventing (and reversing!) stretch marks, ageing, dehydrated skin, dry, chapped or burnt skin - an all round first class performer, even suitable for children and sensitive skins!

We could not think of  a better ingredient to base our decadent range upon - not only does it leave your skin feeling like you have been on a spa break, it also smells divine! Yep, Cooca Butter (Cacao) is the raw ingredient used to make what we know better as chocolate!

And the scent is said to work in just the same way as chocolate, boosting your mood and raising your levels of the happy chemical, serotonin. So - our products truly DO work on your mind, body & spirit and are so pure, raw and fresh, that you could almost eat them!

Random Fact: Each bottle of Miracle Lotion is pure cocoa butter with organic coconut oil and your desired scent added to it. Nothhing more and nothing less! Those big bottles of 'cocoa butter body lotion' that you can buy in the 99p store contain a miniscule amount of cocoa butter. Why put that onto your skin when you can afford the real deal? Our lotion is more like a butter in a bottle. You will need to take a gloop out and then melt it in the palm of your hands...... a little goes a long way! You will see the difference when you try this for the very first time!
