Hutchinson's music walks a line between rock, folk pop, and powerpop. It has been called "intelligent pop" with "painstakingly placed lyrics, brimming with sarcasm and wit", and "sunshine pop" with "feel-good playfulness" and a "plucky demeanor". Hutchinson cites his influences as Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, Michael Jackson, Elvis Costello, Paul Simon, Prince, Billy Joel, Ben Folds Five, and G. Love & Special Sauce

Public Art
Public Art is arousing our thinking, provoking our curiosity and energizing our public spaces. It possesses a great ability of transforming the place we live in into a special world, into better, friendlier environment. Public art, in the broad sense of the word, is any work of art or design created by an artist specifically to be sited in a public space.
Realistic Art.
The annual sales exhibition of modern and contemporary sculpture in the beautiful Chatsworth garden in Derbyshire (England) is the most eagerly awaited annual art show. More than 20 works of famous artists are presented there. Among them is Marc Quinn’s sculpture of a baby entitled Planet. The exhibition is organized in association with Sotheby’s and is open to the public until the 2d of November.
Bruno’s Art and Sculpture Garden is one of Australia’s most special attractions. It is a world full of fantasy, beauty and humor. Bruno’s Art Garden is located near the small Victorian village of Marysville and welcomes everybody.

Even Vanness is impacting the marketplace too!
BY VANNESS WU (Extracted from http://www.alivenotdead.com/vannesswu)
I'm very grateful for both these opportunities...it's a first for me on both occasions. It's actually quite amusing how this all came to be....
Time: 2 weeks before I was heading to Tokyo to prepare for the concert I received a phone call from a co-worker asking if I was interested in opening for Kanye West...I jumped at the chance...So I told them I would, the original concert date was mid Sept. where my rehearsals for the concert time was running short as is. But this is the man who wrote "Jesus Walks".........nuff said people...well he also wrote some other songs that weren't too shabby...I jest~! the man is one creation sensation with an endless imagination. Looking back now...I was cutting it pretty close...but I thought I was able to handle it....
But then there were some complications on the date, and the concert was pushed back. God knows all......he really does......this was his way of telling me that I needed more time...and I am cutting it close....looking back...he was right...i was. God's grace~
So the concert was postponed till further notice. Days later, I was asked by my Pastor, Jon, if I would be interested in performing at a crusade on Nov. 1....now I've never done this...so I was a bit nervous at first...for some reason it felt like a lot of reposibility...but something in my heart said..."do it"...so...I did.
Few days later after I had alrady agreed to the date of Nov.1 I received a phone call....this phone call told me that Kanye's concert has a new date now....(que dramatic music) the dates are...Nov.1 in B.J. and Nov.3 in S.H...... WTF???........and it started off as such a wonderful morning too..........I told them that I had to get back to them...man this really suck'd ballz....I even called my pastor and asked him what I should do? I didn't want to upset God......he told me God wasn't going to be mad and whatever my decision is, it's all good. God understands...and it's all Love.
So I thought about it and thought about it....even asked God about it........."Why!?!" "why is this happening, I thought this opportunity was given to me from you"......but, I already knew the answer..............I just needed a little time to realise it..........I realised that no matter how I spin it.......if was performing at the Kanye West Concert instead of the Crusade. That no matter how much I said that this is for God etc etc.......I'd be lying...I would really have been performing for myself...my own pride...my own ego........I have to put him before everything....that's just how it is................and how it is............it's Awesolicious~! Trust onto him......
I told them that I wasn't able to perform on the 1st because of my prior commitment to the Crusade, but I would still really loved to perform on the 3rd.................they told me they had to get back to me, because originally they had planned to have same performers on the 1st and 3rd. More sensable, I concurr.
I left it at that and told myself to just pray about it...so it did....I said to God " God...I'm not going to worry or think about this anymore...for what ever happens, happens. Alll I need is your Love, and I'm all good." Trust onto him...
And by God's grace...few days later...they called back and agreed to the date.........and to top it all off....the group that's performing on the 1st is none other than my Home-town homeboys MACHI!!!
Trust onto who....?
So to re-cap...
I'm performing at the Franklin Graham Festival in Taipei Taiwan...it's my first time to ever do this...God I pray you humble me...take away my pride....let me be me for you....to serve you for your purpose and your purpose only. Lord.in your name..Amen....
Well...I wish I could be there! haha! :D

Art Nudity
"I came naked from my mother’s womb, and I will be naked when I leave...." (The Book of Job 1:21)
These few days I am back to my papers and pencil. I have to hone my skills in drawing the human figure. I am just rusty now...I must get back on track. When it comes to drawing the human figure, of course you need to study the naked body. Man! God is really a Classy God. The way He shaped and fashioned us is totally way too wonderful and astonishing! I am always amazed, gazing at the beauty of the female body. The curves ever so prominent, the skin so soft and supple to the eyes, the breasts of the proportionate shape like a rain drop and primarily her face reflecting calmness and female pride. Go read the Songs of Songs in the bible and you can perceive a woman's body as a magnificent work of God and not something explicit or forbidden as many narrow-minded men perceive it to be. I would very much want to break that perception and let people see that nudity too can be a beauty and not a taboo.
It's very difficult to find works that are able to materialize the fantastic conjunction of the Nude with Art. Only a few masters in the history of art were able to pass this test. The true essence of art is beauty, joined with the sensuality of the nude, often confused with vulgarity. Nudity is always disquieting, instigating and surprising. So the artist, both in painting and in sculpture, in dancing or in photography, discovers in the nude a profound link with the pureness of being. Sensuality stimulates creativity in every sense. Sensuality also evokes love, passion and the creation of man. This is why nudity moves us so profoundly. For all those who appreciate the artistic nude, OCAIW offers the most complete gallery, with representations by the principal masters and artists of art history.

Sidewalk Café at Night By Vincent Van Gogh
I sailed past alfresco cafes filled with young people reading the paper, past restaurants doing a thriving brunch business, and ended up dropping down a fairly steep hill to the water yet again, on an obscure street that ended near a big factory.

Looking back now...I was cutting it pretty close...but I thought I was able to handle it....
