Over the last 2 years Japan born, Melbourne artist Two has been painting empty spray cans every day to create a collection of 1,000 hand painted can’s.

I just came back from Two’s studio where we cracked some celebratory beer because today he painted the 1,000th can.

From his early crude stuff to the 1,000th can, he’s become an absolute master from this rigourous training.

Took some shots, but left the camera at his studio so i’ll post them tomorrow.

Until then heres some stuff from around the 500 can mark.

And some from around 700

We’re shooting the entire collection on Tuesday so stay tuned.

You will be hearing allot more about this show in the next month, including news of a NICE T-shirt pack by Two.

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.

Granted i havn’t searched very thoroughly, in 1960 in the Akita Prefecture Japan.

I dug them up from around the net after seeing him first on the Mondo Bizzarro gallery website.

Some older Melbourne stencils from 03 are up on the EF Blog.

This was the first Phibber stencil l ever came across in the city Circa 03. Still fresh and even more relevant then ever…

At FAD in the city, Saved By Art is throwing a silent auction to Raise Money for the Friend of the Earth who are in desperate need of Tofu, bush doof tickets and kerosene for fire twirling.

Should be a dope show with a massive lineup, see you there.

Just seen on the Supertouched blog, some pic from the latest miss Vans show, how dope.
