It’s finally out. Duro’s long awaited book documenting the beginning of the Melbourne / Australian graffiti scene. Good work man, i’m sure it’s going to be a killer book.

“All my personal achievements throughout life seem to shrink to insignificance when I think about how much time and energy I have put into this project. I’m proud to announce to release of a book that I’ve been working on for a seeming eternity, in fact it was started in the early 2000’s with my mates Marty and Karl and just kept dragging on with part time commitment, I left my last job a year and a half ago to get it over the line, it had to be done, and finally here it is!

If there is anything and everything you’ve wanted to know about the real deal evolution of the city’s graffiti scene, this is it! I’ve just set up a blog where you can read up about it;

There’s the Miegunyah Press General Edition version of the book and a special Limited Edition to choose from. They are both dirt cheap! And make sure to check back for launch party info coming soon!

Good to be back, kissing hands and shaking babies.

The one Australian art magazine that has maintains a steady rate of awesomeness, with the dopest content, styling and above all consistency is King Brown Magazine by The Yok, a.k.a Yokadile Dundee or the Silver Crested Yokatoo, who despite his absence managed to throw together a tight little launch last Thursday at Gorker. Here’s some shots.

“Drawing is still basically the same as it has been since prehistoric times. It brings together man and the world. It lives through magic. ” Kieth Haring 4-5-1958 ~ 16-2-1990

Commemorating the work of this influential legend, Nice Produce has released the Haring portrait T by stencil artist Peat Wollaeger. Only 100 made, 50 black and 50 white.

Available here on niceproduce.

Before leaving, down at Everfresh to scan some artwork off a wall for a T-shirt that were about to release on Nice Produce, took a few snaps of old Meggsy who was working on some artwork. The pieces were for a commercial job so i couldn’t post the shots until now.
