Cris Rose is definitely one of my favorite artists. His style is just amazing! Lately he’s been making resin robots with nature on their minds and I’m loving them. They’re fantastic!
His latest robot is “The Wandering Memorial”.
“By the year 2138, over population of the planet meant that a much greater number of people needed to fit in the same space. With the cities overcrowded, one of the first things to disappear was England’s graveyards.
So it was that the Wandering Memorial was created. Two metric tones of prime English soil encased in an autonomous walking robot. The Wandering Memorial would slowly walk from one city to another and anyone that wanted to morn need only wait for it to visit their area, and one by one they would be lifted up by it’s arms and deposited into it’s climate controlled dome.” Read more Here.
When I envision this world filled with Wandering Memorials, I hear Sigur Ros’ song Untitled #1 (Vaka) playing in the background.

We Kill You had his first solo show about a month ago at The Gordon Daniel Gallery here in Toronto. Here’s a video of his show called “I Lose Track Of My Mind Sometimes”.
If you missed his show, check out his website for cool stuff!
Music by: The Carps
Track: “It’s Raining In The Projects, But It’s Sunny In Africa”.
The name comes from the expression “You kill me!” used when something is really funny. Based out of Toronto, WKY is a team of creatures: The Ghost, The Bat, The Sasquatch, The Bunny, The Bear, and The Ape looking to put a smile on your face! Spreading like butter on a hot day, WKY has been popping up all over the place.
We Kill You is one of my boys and I’m a big fan of his work! I own a few of his shirts and I can’t wait to get my hands on some of his toys and art. My favorite toys are Gonakedet, Padihershef , Ghost Boy and William Palerne…..actually, I’m a sucker for all his toys.
He just finished making some new shirts and stuffed animals. The shirt are only $15 for the first week. Amazing deal!!!
