inspired by babyart - batgirl edition



“batgirl” (detail) 2015

posting the above pic on instagram prompted quite a few reinterpretations - pretty russian girls (predominantly) making themselves scary and unpretty in the name of babyart cosplay

a few people also commenting it looks like plaaastic - which it does - but it was actually based on a painting i did back in 2001 - as plaaastic apparently always a fan of my work, it’s possible she may have styled her hair after that painting? - i doubt it really ...tho she did dye her hair blue inspired by another of my paintings

“black” (detail) 2001 - and plaaastic circa 2014

and lastly kedism quality from a couple of years ago - she was also my inspiration! (eyes and spot by nose)

"virtual gallery" now open



an "art for sale" section added to my web site - just in time for christmas! - basically this is most everything that is unsold and available at this time - and being sold directly from me! - hopefully ending up on the walls of fans - inquiries welcome at baby_art [at] hotmail.com - if it isn't listed it's old and sold - or new and not yet available...

http://babyart.krowndesign.com/pages/pandora.html

この度、トレヴァーブランのネットギャラリーをオープンいたします。

旧作にはなりますが、baby art 直接の販売ということで、
お求めやすい価格の設定としております。

trevor 作品を本当に愛してくださる方に、
是非、オリジナルを持っていて欲しいと、願っています。


Trevor Brown

1980年代より、独自の表現を貫き続け、
その世界観は、ブレることがありません。
一見残酷にみえるその世界の中には、
彼自身の可愛さやユーモアが垣間見え、
また現実逃避を試みて作品の少女に憑依しているような所があります。

トレヴァーの絵を見て眉をひそめる、しごく真っ当な大人達を尻目に、
世界中のちょっぴり尖った少女たちが、
トレヴァーをこよなく愛してくれるのは、
トレヴァー作品が彼女達を代弁しているからかもしれません。


パートナーが日本人ですので、
日本語で気軽にお問い合わせください。

tama - rosette exhibition



vanilla gallery 21 november to 03 december - 500yen

so happy to meet tama again and see new works (i apologise for being hopeless to talk to, tama!)



my shopping haul: post cards, book and mirror - the book is a limited (?) "best of" collection published by the gallery - hard cover in slipcase - A4 size - does contain several new previously unpublished works - supplemented by a couple of post card sets - tho still i think some works in the exhibition yet to be printed (wah! i need everything!)



this was my favourite - predictably! - and, predictably, it had already sold   : /



mirror - there were also badges and stickers and things, and a calendar - but i don't even know what day of the week it is,  i never use calendars (except maybe for marking tama exhibition dates!)

トレコス



a book currently in production of the nananano “trecos” (trevor cosplay) works - 22 altogether - we wanted to do a few more new ones but other members of “the team” (the photographer, make-up and cg artists) howled in protest - the book will however include some behind-the-scenes offshot photos 

an exhibition being planned at span art gallery the first week of february to coincide with the book’s release - as the work previously shown at span art, i actually really wanted to do the exhibition in osaka - but that never worked out - are there no good galleries anywhere any more? (that want me!) [don’t answer that, rhetorical question] 

i think it’ll be more a nananano exhibition than a trevor brown exhibition, as i have depleted original works available (only half a dozen?) - there is one nice new (i.e. unseen) painting tho - doll artist mari shimizu called in to provide some back-up - she’ll be making a new doll inspired by my work(!) - and there’ll be a book-signing event, needless to say - more detais later...

inspired by babyart - bumper halloween special


kedizmquality - "tooth fairy" - every year she excels at this trevor cosplay thing (that's now become such a thing!)









babyakaneko - "grave robber", "burned out" and "pink rose" - i'm pretty sure she's my number one biggest fan in japan - so, not to be out-beaten, she's made three entries - but she already won my heart years ago













yukino mishima and nurse friend - "i-nazi" / "nursie" - as this is an "unofficial" photo, i actually wonder if the restroom mirror selfie was intentional?





ice pinooo - first of the "fix-me-doll"s this halloween





nerunerunenene - "fix-me-doll" - too cute!





6ed2819fa3e4473 (hope i spelt that correctly) - "fix-me-doll - she's just on a night out and not expecting to be featured on the trevor brown blog



tinycircus93 - "fix-me-doll" - a "melissa from london", which makes me happy for some reason







kissmedeadlydoll - "fix-me-doll" - this one also an unexpected delight coming out of nowhere







plaaastic - nothing specific, just "inspired by you, trevor"



404bunny - another non-specific ("babyart inspired") tb nurse - ha!, as if i now own the copyright on nurses?!?



i.xaa - ditto : )



stevesparkle - turquoise





hentaisu - "harlequin girl" and "infinity" (detail) from "lil miss sticky kiss"









kedizmquality (again) - effortlessly being "lil miss sticky kiss" - this is actually an old pic, i don't think i've posted before?


dark princess youtube - "yurei" - nice photo but i'm a little miffed about it - it got over 10k likes on instagram - but i got nothing - no credit or tag or link or anything - and she was kinda intimating it was her idea ("look my halloween ideas on youtube") - humph!





destroyed my world - "yurei" again - and this time with a respectful "inspired by babyart" credit



katrin de nya - "fight" - this also got over 10k likes on instagram - i'm tagged, but it seems these hidden in image tags aren't seen by many - i should insist on links in the description - of course, many of these are russian girls are actually inspired by sheidlina as much as (or actually far more than) they are by me - sigh! - anyway, whatever, i rather like this photo







rgiil - "cockroach is my only friend" - her cockroaches have escaped?





itnikiash - "cockroach is my only friend" - seems to be a favourite for cosplay lately - soft toys replacing cockroaches here - rather aggressive soft toys judging by her wounds!



larsen baby - "appleheart" - nice attention to detail




darkswan art - "anatomia" - !!!





finally my own bit of halloween "cosplay" - a photo version of my "beast 666" drawing from 1991
