The Antipodes Project was a collaborative art project started by Ben Tolman in 2006. After a hiatus of several years, the project was later continued by fellow artist Joe MacGown.
There are several panels in various stages of completion. So far, Joe MacGown had continued to organize a group of artists to work on one of the panels which was completed just in time to be shown at the LUSO AMERICAN SURREALISM Exhibition at the Mississippi State University from January 21 to February 19, 2016.
After that, it was exhibited July 29th to Aug 28th 2016 in Washington DC at the Fridge Gallery. This show was specifically about the Antipodes Project, showing this and other panels (that are not yet finished) as well as works by the contributing artists.
The big hit of course was the finished panel
Antipodes Project: KILROY WAS HERE
70 by 44 inches. Collaborative Micron pen drawing on 20 pieces of 11 x 14 inch Bristol Paper.
I am proud to have worked on the project, contributing to 2 of the panels on KILROY WAS HERE, adding to the right side of this panel (starting from the Indian head):
Another one I worked on I called "The Antipodes Screamer" - the screaming head on the right side:
Check out the individual panels that make up the whole, there is a slide show on this blog:
