Dreams do come true...







This guy has been THE man for me since i've started making art (or trying to anyway).

After kicking myself in the arse because i missed his shows in Sydney and London, i nearly fell out of my pants when i finally managed to see his art in real life, rather than just looking at it on my screensaver or writting essays about him. Last night he graced Berlin city with his mixed media illustrative and colourful abstraction of known and unknown figures and comic heroes, describing in a very playful way how mass media influences us in everyway, everyday. He had spend 7 days in Berlin painting in different places and the exhibtiion was a combination of a handmade pinao, drawings, paintings and a video. The Show was fucking awesome- and so is Lister- i got to talk to him for a bit and realized that he's just such a down to earth and inspiring nice guy that i would love to hang out with more often.

....to sum it up: he's straight up fucking amazing!

Check his show if he ever has one near you!
In the mean time, check out his art on his website:
