The most curious DS-related post I’ll have written all week: Wellington, New Zealand artists Christian Pearce and Greg Broadmore are part of an ongoing exhibition through February 27th in Wellington’s Civic Square called 99DS.

The premise? 99 “Dodgy Slips” and 99 “Deadly Sleds” — that is, 99 nude women taking a tumble off banana peels, and 99 Big Daddy Roth-esque hot rods — all created with DS homebrow paint software Colors (now also available on the iPhone).

Of the precise numbering, the artists explain:

The premise behind the 99DS series is a simple one — pick a subject, draw it 99 times and hit save. And why 99? That’s how many save slots Colors supports, and also coincides with the point at which one entertains thoughts of stylus-based seppuku.
