You’re probably wondering what the hell has been going on in the NiceProduce camp for the past few week. If you haven’t, which is more than likely the case, then you will hear what I have to say anyway.

NiceProduce is going to Europe.

We’ve been working our guts out on NiceProduce V2, and I can tell you that it’s going to kick ass. It’s like, HAL meets a blind kid, and the kid doesn’t know how amazing HAL is, because he thinks HAL is just an ordinary person with a vocalizer like Stephen Hawkins, and little does he know that HAL is really a super smart chess playing mother fucking computer made in the 70’s.

That’s the new NiceProduce. Smarter than you think, more superior than you need, and hell does it make our life easy. Like Alex said, it’s a super smart content management system that took months to build but only 2 people in the world will use it.

That’s how we roll.

In the mean time, I’m packing my shit and moving to Sweden. NiceProduce is stretching it’s reach to Europe, where I’ll be setting up camp and bringing you the best Europe has to offer.

More to come soon. Oh, and if you haven’t gotten your NoComply invites yet… just come to the second opening. 😉

PEACE LOVE.

I’d like to thank Carhartt, Shawn and the guys in the Melbourne store for helping make No Comply a reality. And for letting me turn thier front window into the following display of the No Comply 2008 woodgrain camo.

Carhartt, Sneaker Freaker and Niceproduce are each producing a comemorative T for the show, it’s all in production at the moment so i’ll put some photos up once they arrive.

Two flyers i designed not long ago, a must go if you’re around..

Word up koan for the Tes La Rok design!

The first round of ads for this years Laneway festival have gone out, again with epic craziness from the hand of the old emperor. This year the festival is engulfing another state and even more of Melbourne city.

This took a while to get right and especially tight but its done, we’re pleased, the client, as always is doing happy backflips like one of those little pink electronic toy dogs at South Melbourne market and after the last 2 days of sponsor logo changes on multiple 400m files we’re about ready to go drink beers. We rule.

Here it is folks.

This scene originally had WAY more screaming monkies but we cut it back as it seemed to interfere with the tenderness of the moment.

This years bar fly feature goes to non other than the incredible Johnny Sparks, the electrician of the most dopest/most popular bar in Australia, TMs flock from far and wide to experience the authentic ally way culture. It’s currently also the only bar in Australia that doesn’t have any working electricity for some reason.  A pillar of the community. He’s also easy to draw cause he looks like Sly.

Enter the K-Man

mighty emperor Jagi and his ‘special’ cousin from sydney.
