These Maharishi X Bowers & Wilkins 601 bookshelf speakers arrived in the mail last week. The hi-fi of B&W coated in MHI woodland camo goodness, blessing my studio. They sound great and looker greater, very dope.

They make a a nice match for last seasons Sno camo series which are working well as monitors back home.

Limited to 90 pairs these are collectors pieces. Dpmhi.com sold out of them long ago so try emaharishi.com if your interested getting a pair.

First up, big shouts going to Toko in Surry Hills for a kick arse selection of fine sho-chu, sashimi, sushi and miso eggplant. Proper.

I’m up in Sydney taking some time out and getting to know the scene day by day. Met the crews on Burton St in Darlinghurst, much respect. Been to SP1 & 3 and picked up some 90’s, and in between cooling off in the hotel watching Australia destroy Sri-Lanka, I’m out snapping up the day life in the CBD.

Things have changed so much since I was up here last. I haven’t seen 1 syringe and the bums are really polite. Last time I hung around Oxford St, I would have been hit up for money, drugs, or threatened as part of daily life. Not anymore! I suppose with the lesser amount of poverty explains the ludicrous rise in alcohol prices. $20 cocktails is the norm, but oh so damn good.

Flicks of some proddy shops and sneaker freakers once I get home and develop these rolls of film. Analog photography is the new black, bitches.

Speak soon.

Jagi and I have wrapped up the artwork for this years nation wide lane way festival. Featuring some of the lovable drifters and hangers from Melbourne’s original lane way, haunt and bar St Jeromes.

Paying tribute to Jimbo, and filling the composition with as much wierd shit as we could come up with, here it is. click the image to zoom in.

Some of the peeps who feature…

The man himself with both hands on the wheel, the party pope, St Jeromes.
Note the cherub hood ornaments excitement.

Regulars to St Jeromes would know the drunken electrician Mr Johny sparks who has spent the better part of a year fitting the same globe and pretty much slacking off as much as the kids who frequent the place. Danny Rogers, the brains behind the festival wears a wrestling mask. Note. Allot of the ideas for this poster we’re formulated while drunk.

Word up to the Totty bros, you fucking rule.

The Monkey.

And whats this? Its the Phibber, chucking up a cheeky throwie.
Jagi and I get a gerns as the fish riding Samuri and Ninja.

Censorship! Below is the original version of the hippo, as you can see the reason he’s so happy (he looks like his going to cry tears of joy) is that he’s hanging with two ladies who have mad knockers.

However for the final version the guys wanted us to tone down the titties. We were like “What are you gay?”. But they pointed out that it could be offensive to the ladies in the audience, and proably rightly so, so we toned it down and presto, Job Done.

I this what love feels like?

Julia Kissina – meaty wigs.

Twin ceramic rotor drives on each wheel! And these look like computer controlled anti-lock brakes! Wow, 200 horses at 12,000 rpm!

Buy it here.

Finally.

Two can you translate prease?

Im currently listening to a classic Hip-Hop radio show from the 90’s that Kano switched me onto, its by Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito.

Nothing rules harder than a 8″ tall Storm Trooper from Medicom. 100% movable parts, and 100% guaranteed to miss Rebel scum with every shot fired.

Being a designer can be fun.

Long hours in rooms with no windows, working through the weekend and turning a slight shade of purple through over exposure to air conditioning units.

And then sometimes you have to do horrible things like work out of Hawaii for 2 weeks.

Nice on the North shore… When’s the next tee going to drop Mr Koan?

Massive update coming to Broken Damage when l return.
