From the mid 80’s onward NEW2 has always been truly dedicated to mastering the art form of letters and style.
As a young kid growing up on the Belgrave train line in Melbourne I was blown away by the dedication and work of the infamous DMA CREW.
New2 and his old partner TAME in particular!
They both took the Melbourne graffiti scene to the next level. Inspiring many others to follow behind them!
Still going strong, NEW2 works on mastering his craft even further.
His work just seems to get fresher and fresher.

For those souls lucky enough to be in Germany in the next couple weeks, Be sure to catch his new solo exhibition “SUNSET…SUNRISE”.
Large works as well as smaller super intricate collages including an old Hitachi Train (with panel) all from hand cut paper!
NEW2 …STILL LARGE!!

Beastman vs Phibs
Backyard wall in Tamarama, Bondi (Sydney)
22 December 2010

One of our favorite people to paint walls with has got to be Greg CRAOLA Simkins!
When ever we all paint together we just have such a great time..and usually come out with a really interesting end result!
For a while now we have been talking with Greg about trying out a character wall where we used spray paint..but also tried out adding acrylic paint and brush work.
Myself and Greg are from a pretty similar era in Graffiti, both starting in the early to mid 90’s.(Greg maybe a little earlier!)
And even though Greg is from LA and we where in Melbourne, there was definitely the same vibe that Graffiti writers dont use brushes!
It was always viewed as bad form, so its something that none of us have ever really tried.
But its a new millennium now…and rules dont apply!
It was really great to take a lot of elements that the 3 of us would use in graffiti with spray paint..but then balance that out with the elements that we all use in our paintings with brushes.
Really happy with the outcome….hope to do a lot more of it in the future.
Big thanks to the LA Freewalls Project for hooking us up with a super smooth spot in Downtown LA!

LONG LIVE THE YELLOW FIN…

Last weekend we painted a really interesting concept wall in Downtown LA with Askew and Deus(New Zealand), Vans (Australia), Skore(Germany), Rime, Revok and Witness.
Askew had the idea to paint a wall based on the phrase “Only Time Will Tell”.
And running a theme of the 4 season along the wall in order, with each season with each word.
-The assignment went as follows..

VANS/ RIME/WITNES: Winter, with VANS on letter detail painting the phrase “ONLY”
DABS/MYLA/SCORE: Spring, With SCORE on letter detail painting “TIME”
REVOK/RIME: Summer, REVOK on letter/background detail painting “WILL”
ASKEW/DEUS: Fall, ASKEW on letter detail painting “TELL”

There really is too much going on in the streets of miami over Art Basel week to show it all!

But…here is a little bit more of the action!

Enjoy!
