Meggs – Art / Aerosol / Design

Drewfunk & myself have custom painted some Rims for the Alleycat race that is coinciding with the St Ali Yarra Place project. Laneway painting and party happening this sat from 12pm onwards, flyer post with all details here.

If anyone is keen to have their rims painted, then if you supply the wheels/rims, I can paint them for a resonable cost. Am happy to work within a colour scheme etc to suit your steed. Send me an email if your interested.

Preview of my painting ‘in progress’ for an epic He-Man exhibition coming at Gallery 1988
in LA. More details will follow, and I think we all know who this is…

So it was just confirmed for me that my piece ‘Bend or Break’ exhibited as part of the Green Day ‘Art of Rock’ Exhibition, at StolenSpace Gallery in London, sold to none other than (GreenDay Bassist) Mike Dirnt. Whether your a fan or not, it seems these guys genuinely support upcoming art and music culture, cheers!

Thanks again to Ken from arrestedmotion for hooking me up with Oakland/SF street artist Eddie who took me round to some good spots for collaborative postering on the streets of San Francisco. Good times! (My tiled posters around Eddie’s ‘just married’)

So the Halloween party rocked until too many people came and the cops shut us down. Fake blood, sweat & capsicum spray… as they say. Thanks to all who contributed to make it happen and the party people for getting down. Good times!

I have been very slack with updating this blog, so this is somewhat of a retrospective post about the ‘Record Time’ exhibition that I was a part of the Melbourne show. Run by Luca Ionescu at ‘Refill’ the show features a heap of dope artists doing artwork for laser etched vinyl records.

All details can be found here: http://www.refillmag.com/

Heres my vinyl (stoked on the ‘Uncanny X-Men’ record, thanks Luca!):
