Nice has a new stockist in Sydney. Halfsleeve, located at the bottom of Goulburn Street in Surry hills is the new haven for the street wear crew of Sydney now that the golden age of Another Inch has passed. Stocking brands such as Foreign Family and MHI along side Nice.

Australia artist and illustrator Ben Brown has been running the Sydney poster art game for so long that the details are irrelevant. The bottom line is he is the man, the undisputed ruler of a domain infested by zombies, pop art and metal.

“Feeling Lucky”, Ben’s latest solo show will be on display in Melbourne at Marker Gallery on the 6th of march will be a series of prints and drawings, metal, pop culture and the undead, no doubt a welcome feature.

We’ll bring you a first glimpse of the art closer to the date.

Marker Gallery, 159 Johnson St Collingwood.

And because we love you, here is a preview of an upcoming Nice Produce T , “The Bodhisattva of revealing the true nature of things through boundless cynicism” by none other than Ben Brown. Looking at mid March release at this stage.
