Mad fun will be had. See you there.

So, the third show this year for the studio.

l am yet to actually do anything for this show, late nights and broken eyes are coming.

Anyone into sound design or modern art forms wont want to miss Pierre Proske performing at Geek Chic 2.0 this Wednesday night at Loop Bar. The event runs from 5pm till late and Pierre will be performing around 7pm. Free admission.

Pierre Proske is an electronic artist intrigued by the pervasiveness of technology in culture and science and its relationship to nature. His
work involves exposing the unspoken relationships we have with technology and harnessing machines into exploring new aesthetics. He has spent the larger part of the last 4 years in Sweden where he performed, exhibited and obtained a Master of Science in Art and Technology. An experimental electronic music performance using EMG amplifiers that harnesses the electricity produced through muscle contractions in my arms (EMG) to create sound, which is then processed using a patch created with the Pure Data software.(Similar to MAX, MSP on Apple Computers)

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.

Its about time for the next edition of Wooden Toy to stack neatly above the rest on our respective desks, coffee tables and bookshelves. The chiccas issue features another massive issue of all girl artwork from all over the globe.

To kick it all off the mag is going to have an all girl exhibition and launch party at our gallery Paper Shadow, so head in, check out a show, graba copy and some free beer. Pretty nice.

This also marks the last of our schedule of monthly art events at the gallery.

Artist, old man and famous Melbourne hippy Bonsai is releasing a re-development of his popular ButterFly design. Launching at the Heist on Friday the 16th of November the incredibly detailed limited edition Ts will be accompanied by hand painted stained wood versions.

Meggs is finally breaking out with his first solo show this month, having seen a few of the pieces in the studio l must say it’s looking dope.

Meggs was around when the whole stencil ‘thing’ went down in Melbourne a few years back. Since then he’s broken out with his freehand creatures, lurking in the shadows around the city.

With YOK in Collingwood.

Production style.

Meggs installation at the Backwoods show.

I would describe Meggs new work as a fusion of his stencil work, freehand style and design all mixed into one.  Show kicks off on Friday the 23rd in Collingwood, the worlds most livable suburb.

You just know its going to be a sell out show when there is an inexplicably early crowd of olds, nothing but chinos and wallets as far as the eye can see.

If those shades could talk they would beg for death

My guess is the three people at the front of this picture are about 3 feet tall, talking about midgets later in the night while drunkenly stumblingly around the city we saw a midget dress as an Oompa Loompa, it flipped us the finger and then immediately vomit all over itself, we never laughed so hard. True story.



two, sean, shires, JAGI, karl and myself.

What a show.
