A little homage to my mates at Everfresh... nice party lads!

Been drawing alot lately... ideas popping out and squirming about, and the paint's started flowing again..
the roads are bursting with colour, and cars are flying past. So much speed.... so little time......

One for the ladies..

Just released in melbourne, a down and dirty street, sneaker, graffiti culture mag just for the ladies..

My friends Rone, Meggs, Reka, Prism and the rest of the Everfresh studio are having a launch for their book in Melbourne Friday September 3 · 6:00pm - 11:00pm 1000 £ Bend 361 Lt Lonsdale Street, CBD Melbourne. If you're in Melbourne at the time, this will be a great night to experience and celebrate some of the city's street art history, not to be missed. I'll see you there.

Went down to the Melbourne art fair on Saturday...

brilliant this year,
the energy was fantastic, and the work so energising.

My favorites this year were Del Kathryn, Evan Penny's 'self stretch' was literally mind blowing, Dale Hickey was a pleasure to look at, and one of my older favorites from the street art and graffiti days, Rys Lee's work is still a real pleasure. Still own some of his designed schwipe t shirts and jumpers. Very nice stuff really all round. Put a bit of fire in the engine to get this work cracked out for the next show.. of course things can never been done quick enough.

Time certainly gets away.. I've been working on the next two solo projects which are looking to happen later this year,
a bit different to the previous body of work, and has taken me a little while to get my head around conceptually,
off and running now. Don't want to give to much away at this stage, except to say that smaller moments have been given new meaning in the past month and have propelled me to give greater focus to these areas. I'll also be contributing a couple of pieces to a group show that will be happening on the 29th of July.

Just saw Banksy's exit through the gift shop... Funny as;)

Trouble magazine featured 'The boxing match' in its last issue. Also just stayed at The Cullen, part of the artist series hotels on commercial road, Really great. Funny to wake up in the morning with a twisted looking goat staring at you..

The two John Brack pieces I did in 2009 sold yesterday, I'm going to do a bit of a post on John Brack and his show from 2009. His art work has been a great influence on me, and seeing the body of work at the NGV last year led to the these two pieces. Four of his paintings appear in the back ground, and the foreground has influence and reference to a couple of his works. Ironically his Collins street painting has a similar composition, I believe sub consciously this was done on purpose. His paintings feet quite nostalgic and have a great sense of family and community. He is a continual influence, and I think Melbourne is lucky to have such heritage in such a great Artist.

Show gets a write up in the Age.

The Age did a piece on the show in the events section last Thursday.
They were also after a full interview on the night, but I was late arriving and missed them, still learning my lessons...
