"The painting was fun to do, but the real adventure was the frame. The painting is mounted in the center, and protrudes from the background about an inch. The reclaimed frame was then scuffed, carved and sanded for a weathered effect, and I even cut and painted a custom name plate for the base. Like a dummy, I never got better pics of it, but you can see it down below. I then built a bracket and cradled back mount for the frame. I had a friend ship me some early Avengers comic books, which I collaged onto the back of the custom frame. Getting the whole thing together was a fun challenge, and I really enjoyed the result. I think I may be doing more of this in the future. Hope you like it!"

Sculpture: No One Can Save Us
This piece is a response to the title of the 2012 show Future Proof set in Singapore Art Museum. According to Mojoko, "it's a comment on global warming. The fact that the superhero is melting gives us little hope for the future. ... People normally react by laughing, then taking photos of themselves in front of it, then they say, 'It's melting because its too hot in Singapore.' Which is kind of the correct reaction."
The public artwork presents us with a gentle reminder of the gradual decline of hope. It is made of polystyrene, Plaster of Paris, and plastic paint. It took three people six weeks to create.
