Pixels : Episode 4 from Pixels on Vimeo.

My big warm friend Alan Glass came round my studio a few weeks ago and filmed me talking crap and showing off my work, Then we went out skating and i managed to film a few things.
The evidence of this is in the edit above. Cheers glass for hooking it up. I am really bad at talking.

SOLO SHOW

I'm taking over the basement of Detour skate store in bath for his new solo show entitled BRAIN FARTS. You can expect to see lots of highbrow art, this will be a very cultured affair with no willy paintings in sight, Well there may be a couple. Come down for the opening night on Friday 12th October, 6-9pm for beer and most likely lots of cool kids with there ankles showing. Then off to the porter bar for some highbrow skate video action and more beer. I will also have prints and zines for sale so bring your green notes if you fancy picking something up. There may even be a highbrow x detour shirt in the shop waiting for you, who knows ;) The show will be running for a month, or possible a bit longer. so plenty of time for you to go check it out. www.mikeoshea.org www.thehighbrowcompany.com www.detourskatestore.co.uk/

FILMER SLAM TASTIC.

Sorry its been quiet on the updates. there are two reasons for this... ONE, My life has been a bit manic recently. lets just say changes have been happening. its easing off a bit now so can focus more on this stuff. TWO, Computers are boring, going out and skating and boozing with friends is way more fun. Now back to the task at hand. Went out for an evening roll with the lads yesterday. Was trying to film a line with Phil. As you can see it didnt go down so well. The floor was super rugged and i stopped dead and took a face dive to the floor. Spinning out a bit and slight blurry vision in one eye i decided it was best to visit the A&E. After a while of almost falling asleep in the chair waiting for the doctor, i got checked out and cleaned up. All is fine so went home and kipped. THINK I NEED A FILMER BOARD WITH NICE SOFT WHEELS. So thats you lot up to date now. Shred on xx

HUMAN PYRAMIDS

Here is a wee painting i made a while ago for big man Hovin Wang at the HUMAN PYRAMIDS COLLECTIVE.. I will be joining the collective in barcelona in the very near future for a jazzy group show. keep your eyes on the prize. mad stockage on life.

FUCK YOU, CATHOLIC CHURCH

I watched THIS WORLD today and it made me angry. ofccourse it did, i dont know anyone who wouldnt be pissed off after watching it. The catholic church is fucked up. I cant get down with religion, and this just helps enforce my distaste for it. So i came up with this drawing. i have a feeling this is just the first of many anti pedo priest drawings ill be doing in the near future. This first one is pretty tame. Have a nice evening all x

fartwork test

Im going to be in a top secret show sometime in the near future and this is a little test for it. not 100% sure what im doing yet, but i think this is a good start. much more work to be done.

Mike O signing out xx

HIGHBROW GRIP COMP

Went out filming with little Ollie Lock the other week. I noticed he had jazzed up his grip tape with some HIGHBROW text.

Do you think you can do a better HIGHBROW grip job? If so, send in your pics to mike.highbrow@hotmail.co.uk
Best grip job might just win something cool. Wen i mean cool, i mean freaking awesome.

REMEMBER THIS IS ALL FREE ADVERTISING FOR ME, SO MAKE SURE HIGHBROW IS VERY MUCH VISIBLE.

KEEP IT ARTFAG
