The second installment of the successful Letterheads exhibition is now upon us and I stoked to be involved this year with my assigned letter ‘F’.

Letterheads is an alphabet based show, in which we have selected 26 of the worlds most talented contemporary artists and assign them a letter at random. The results have been amazing. All works are done on framed paper. Accompanying the artwork is a limited edition alphabet book of the artwork. These are already selling like hotcakes so get in fast.
The Show will be exhibited in Melbourne & Sydney, with potential international tour plans in the works.

The official Melbourne opening is: Friday 26th of February (6pm -10pm)
1000poundBEND - 361 Lt.Lonsdale st. Melbourne CBD

Check the official LTRHDS website for more info. and the flyer below for the artist list…
hope to see you there!

So I’ve finally got around to doing a follow up post about the St Alis Yarra Place project that went down a couple of weekends ago. Was a great public event on the staurday, with heaps of peoples coming down to eat, drink and boogie for a day or good painting, good tunes and good vibes. Was a successful event so thanks to all involved, especially my fellow artists and all the hard working crew at St Alis. Btw the food & coffee there is super good, so get down for some if you can - and they’ve starting doing dinner - we were treated to a awesome meal there on thursday night!

Heres some pics of the day courtesy of partywithpanda.com for the rest of the event photos click here. Enjoy, i know we did!

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.
