Gen Miyamua, New Works 2010

December 21st, 2009 by Koan

Japanese calligrapher Gen Myamura will be launching an exhibition in SferaExhibition in Kyoto next month. Gen’s work including continual collaboration with designer Shun Kawakami is a contemporary interpretation and constantly evolving deconstruction of his classical calligraphic training. This should be a incredible show.

Hopefully i’ll be able to bring you some photos early next year.

And who could forget the special surprise appearance by the 50 cops who arrived just in time to exercise some good old fashioned extreme force concern for public safety and heavy handed brutality peace keeping,  teaching us all how much more realistic and fun real blood is on a Halloween costume rather than that fake stuff we were using like a pack of noobs.

In fact everyone was having such a great time that we all almost totally forgot to break each others noses while spraying each other with mace. Luckily these guys were ontop of it.

Check the Everfresh slide show of the night for what was nonetheless a dope party.

Beastman, Ben Frost, Phibs and Shannon Crees. Live paint tonight.

ROA – Ghent Belguim

December 16th, 2009 by Koan

Some fine examples of street art by Roa in his town of Ghent Belgium. Found on photographer Romanywg’s photostream on flickr. I recommend checking Romanywg’s photostream, his photography of decaying warehouses and derelicts buildings is really dope.

The Visible Rabbit. We’ve all thought about it. It’s nice to see such a tight application.

Putting some very serious brain time into a Cartoon Concert tour of Australia with Mark. More news soon hopefully.

So here’s what’s up.

December 11th, 2009 by Karl

It’s been a while since I have posted to the faithful NiceProduce blog. That’s because I’ve been busy as hell. I’ll cut the bullshit and give you all a heads up on what we’re doing at Nice HQ.

Recently, NiceProduce relocated it’s European outlet to the bright lights of New York City. In the past month or so, we’ve been busy setting up shop, working hard on the new website and getting loose. I know the international subscribers are keen on spending their own currency (since the Aussie dollar is blazing at the moment), but the US Government, while seemly tight, is a useless pile of shit when it comes to economics. Hold tight.

Last month Meggs dropped into town to show who’s boss. Plenty of parties, exhibitions and true Australian mayhem. And to the yanks who continue to ask, we’re not fucking English! Great to have you in town Meggs, hope you showed LA what’s what. Welcome back any day.

Koan just finished his recent tour of Japan with New York legend KrinkIf you didn’t catch the update, read on. By all accounts the exhibition was off the hook and our Japanese insurgence continues to grow every year. I’ll be visiting Tokyo next week to pick up where Koan left off. For my Nihongo bitches, you know where we are!

Koan is now safe and sound in the padded confines of the Melbourne HQ. Drop in and bring the man a beer.

The website is almost complete. We are taking a major overhaul of product and direction. We have been selling an amazing amount of artwork to which the artists are truly grateful. The events section will bring every major Melbourne event right to your doorstep (with directions), and our product catalogue is of the highest possible quality. We have been delaying the release for months as every time Koan and I sit down we either end up drinking too much or coming up with some crazy shit we can’t miss.

Either way… it’s worth the wait.

Currently our site has taken a back seat, mainly due to travel time and curating, but…

For those customers who have been put out by the delays, we appreciate your patience, your works are on the way.

I know you like free booze, so keep an eye on this blog in the coming weeks as we announce the next series of exhibitions in Melbourne. I will let Koan take the reigns on announcing these, but rest assured it’s true Melbourne quality.

Right, enough blabber, I hate reading, too.

Have a great Christmas, all!
