Where is Whichowo?

Welcome to the White Chocolate Wonderland. It's not an easy place to find, but listen to me, you'll see; follow your soul and lose your mind. White Chocolate Wonderland features the work of J Christopher, aka 'of1000kings'.

A new design produced by the good folks at Upperatus in collaboration with the band Prima Donna, the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, and myself.  $10 of every tee, tank or racerback goes to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund to help musicians in need due to illness, disability or hardship.  So buy up.  Printed on black tees, gray tanks and white racerbacks.

I've been interested in drawing mazes for a bit now, so I decided to give it a shot.  

The 'GET LOST' is intended to be playful, but if you want people to take it a different way I have no qualms with that.

"Show Me Your Magic Place":  a new addition to my saatchionline collection of original artwork.  An organically composed mixed-media painting and drawing over a page from Surface mag no. 19; 1999.  Presented in a hand-painted floating glass frame and featuring a quote from Vonnegut's "Timequake":

     I'm trying to focus a bit more on producing works that can be sent out to the world.  These are some of my organic, autonomous drawings that I've turned into paper sculptures.  I'm also working on a couple metarealistic paintings, more of these paper sculptures (some larger ones) and some typography paper sculptures.

Decided to put together another illustration for the @Threadless You Are Beautiful Challenge, just because you are:

New drawing created for the Threadless You Are Beautiful challenge:

X Marks the Spot

The digitally inked drawing at top, original pencil drawing in the left corner and a detail just for fun.  It didn't turn out exactly like what I had in mind but I think it shows some of my Faberge influeces.  Also, check out the You Are Beautiful project and see what's going on, then get on board.

Cheers; 

Live Life in the black and the white.

     I’ve finally created a shop.  It’s quite simple at the moment, but I do not doubt that will probably change.      If you ever have that nagging feeling you need a bit more White Chocolate in your life you may now fulfill those wants: White Chocolate Wonderland Souvenir Shop on bigcartel At the moment I have this hand-colored poster originally released in black-and-white by Battle Tees as part of their limited edition Artist series of tees and posters.  They were kind enough to hook me up with a couple sets of the posters so I’d like to jazz them up and re-release them for viewing enjoyment.

A slight deviation, or maybe evolution, of my working style--Organic Metarealism .  I think I've taken the previous form of the style about as far as I can for the moment.  This is in the experimental stage but I dig where it's at so far.

I'm calling this blueprint; I'm really loving these cheap blue Bic pens lately.

A Universe So Vast it Belies Imagination,

Dwarfs a Giant so Big it Merits Sirius Considerations;

Makes trivial a Sun we Behold in Awe,

From a World so Tiny it's Barely Here at All.

I try to convince myself of this when the weight of the world becomes too much to bear.  We are so inconceivably small, it's more than astounding.  Our planet is merely a cell, or atom, of something much greater.
