Brazilian Street artist, Insane is a last minute addition to the No Comply lineup. The new lineup will be posted pretty soon so keep your eyes out.

Check his dope work.

1st 2 of 180 boards for No Comply rocked up today, the winner is Shaunna Peterson.

In anticipation of her upcoming solo show, Think Space gallery have released a video of the work by Lesley Reppeteaux as well as some preview shots.

Lesley’s story book, art nouveau style will be one of the many present in this years No Comply.

I’ve just finished the second and 2008, No Comply Wood Grain Camo Design which will be the basis of this years visual representation of the exhibition.

Based on UK 4 Color, however remade with balanced brush strokes to do the patterns theme justice with organic detailing. The contrast, compared with last years will probably be a headache while I’m trying to place text over it, but i think its worth it.

Thanks to Kano who designed last years pattern, the plan is that Kano’s original wood grain concept will evolve into new designs with each progressive year, to parallel the evolution and growth of the No Comply Exhibitions themselves. Touch wood. (shit, i’m sorry about the pun).

Its official…

No Comply 2008 will be at No Vacancy in QV. Melbourne’s newest, dopest and biggest arts space, huge enough to fit the 170 piece collection and also run by crew who have their head around the culture who will do show justice, which is the hardest thing to find.

We will also be constructing a third wall down the center of the room to increase the hanging space to over 80 meters.

No Comply will be on show for 3 weeks during November. Details about Sydney will be locked in soon.

A coupel of updates to the lineup.

Firstly i’m happy to say Andy Sargent has managed to fit in time between nursing his newborn second kid and developing his newborn design studio to lend his expert design and illustrative skills to the No Comply collection.

Secondly due to a recent a combination of numerology lessons and family history some of the Brazilian artist have changed their names.

Vine is now Enivo

Sliks is now Prakrti

Musta is now Howoiwa

I’ve updated the list.

Heads up people, here is the lineup for the 2008 No Comply exhibition. Its come a long long way since the first shows, but the loves still there.

A finer bunch of rogues have never congregated in single a group show.

Although there are still a couple of artists which i’m waiting to hear back from, this is, essentially, the final list.

If you’ve got a cheeky few hours to spend checking out the artists work, click the names, they link to sites and artwork. There is an amazing collection of talent here.

Props to Cey, Indie, Miss G and Two One for the hand and a thank you to everyone.

Holy shit…..

No Comply 08 will be held during November in Melbs, December in Sydney, then then off to Left Foot In Taipei for Jan/Feb 09.

I’d like to say thanks to Carhartt and Red Bull Australia for backing No Comply. If not for their support, the costs of this show would have been prohibitive.

I’m lucky to have met sponsors who are just as excited about this lineup as we are.

If anyone wants more information on the show, hit me up.
