Nawlz, the brand new online comic by Sutu is an incredible mix of animation and illustration set in stunning sci-fi universe.

How do I possibly describe this amazing piece of art and give any kind of justice? It’s one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen, so I’ll just give you the basics and let you check it out yourself.

Sutu (Stu Campbell) is an Australian artist and designer hailing from Tassy, whose unique illustration style is best described as super phat, leaving M’s super flat for dead, bursting with movement, fresh over exaggerated characters and stunning building landscapes that would drop the jaw of even Katsuhiro Otomo.

Sutu is THE master of “Next Level Shit”, in fact I can’t think, say or hear those word without immediately picturing him rambling on about some distant universe he’s created or slaving over his computer or some awesome illustration. On top of that he’s Nice family from way back, being lad who designed the site GUI.

He disappeared from the radar about 2 years ago, moving to Brisbane to divide his time between Nawlz and designing HUDs for military simulations (no kidding). And now like a Kung-Fu master, having finished his training he’s returned and we’re more than proud to present the fruits of his labor.

Nice had this room covered in more places than just this mirror, but this is all that’s left of the legacy. 3 years later.

This is me and the Plump DJ’s 

Giving it the all this. Mental night.

Took a visit to our premier Queensland stockist S-Lab today to say G’day. For those in the Brisbane area of this fine sunburnt country and can pull yourselves away from a shrimp filled BBQ and the Aussie vs India Test, then pop in to:

Questlove from The Roots is rocking out with our NiceProduce “Neither Can Lupe” T. Respect.

Everyone, make sure you drop him a line and give this man a pat on the back.

One of the hardest working people in the game. Always busting my balls, but doing a damn fine job with NiceProduce, constantly on the phone, on email, on MSN, always scheming, planning, designing, supporting and promoting.  A true love for Melbourne and it’s bohemians, artists, and labels,  and one to always push new direction, make change and have fun. Not a bad designer, either. 😉

Now, let’s get shitfaced and laugh our asses off. Have a mad birthday kiddo.

Yep, it’s the last ANYTIME for me. Come down this Friday and smash it with us. Usual flavours of your finest poison plus fresh beats, lots of mayhem and all the proper Nicenesses.

Please. Enjoy our wonder city district.

First up, big shouts going to Toko in Surry Hills for a kick arse selection of fine sho-chu, sashimi, sushi and miso eggplant. Proper.

I’m up in Sydney taking some time out and getting to know the scene day by day. Met the crews on Burton St in Darlinghurst, much respect. Been to SP1 & 3 and picked up some 90’s, and in between cooling off in the hotel watching Australia destroy Sri-Lanka, I’m out snapping up the day life in the CBD.

Things have changed so much since I was up here last. I haven’t seen 1 syringe and the bums are really polite. Last time I hung around Oxford St, I would have been hit up for money, drugs, or threatened as part of daily life. Not anymore! I suppose with the lesser amount of poverty explains the ludicrous rise in alcohol prices. $20 cocktails is the norm, but oh so damn good.

Flicks of some proddy shops and sneaker freakers once I get home and develop these rolls of film. Analog photography is the new black, bitches.

Speak soon.
