Kicks’N'canvas – London, UK
This week saw the opening of the Kick’n'Canvas exhibition in East London:
http://www.kicksncanvas.co.uk/index.html
Kick’n'Canvas is a sneaker and art exhibition incorporating some dope street artists, illustrators & sculptors including the likes of Insa, Goldie, Lister and many others including my good self. Stoked to be a part of the show, even if admittedly painting sneakers isn’t my fortay, thanks to ZeroCool and SoleHeaven for putting on the event. Interview with the organisers here. Obviously I am in Melbourne, so couldn’t attend, but it was a great show by all reports. Heres some pics of the show/opening and video of the night:

No commentseverfresh:blackbook
The reason this blog and my (neglected) flickr account haven’t been regularly updated in a while is because myself and the other lads at Everfresh have been crazy busy putting together our first book, The EVERFRESH:BLACKBOOK, 256 pages of life, times and artwork from all the crew, 2004-2010. Its been a huge process collecting info and culling down a zillion photos into what we hope is the best representation of our lives for the past 6 years. As the designer for the book I’ve basically been chained to my computer for many weeks with lack of sleep but we’re at the final stages now so its all coming together worthwhile.
The EVERFRESH:BLACKBOOK is due for release in August through The Miegunyah Press. Obviously things are under wraps for the time being but we’ll be posting more info and images closer to release, so stay tuned.
In the meantime, many older images will be posted on the Everfresh site.
(Note: Not cover below – just a teaser, cover image is awesome, ha!)

Nicole Reed Meggs portrait
Now that the new T-World mag has dropped (see below), I wanted to make special mention of the dope portrait photo that photographer Nicole Reed shot. Nicole has shot some rad portraits including people like Estevan Oriel and Mr Cartoon. Check out her site here. Thanks Nicole.

T-World vs Sesame street
The latest issue of T-World magazine has just dropped as a ‘special collaboration’ issue with none other than Sesame Street. Against the odds, T-world made its way onto Sesame Street to deliver the street collab to end all collabs: eight exclusive T-shirts designed by eight of the world’s best designers, in consultation with eight of Sesame Street’s most-loved characters. In between visits to Oscar’s can (they got in it, seriously) T-world found time to also catch up with Johnny Cupcakes, Meggs, Upper Playground’s Matt Revelli, Lazy Oaf’s Gemma Shiel and many many more talented designers.
Theres four covers to choose from (as a huge child fan of Sesame Street myself) I’ve chosen the super Grover cover here, with some spreads (including my good self). Definately a dope issue worth checking out. Thanks to Eddie, Lou, Nicole and the crew at T-World for their support and hard work.

mixed business – sydney
So still a little behind in my postings, the other week was the opening of Mixed business in Sydney which meant a fun 5 days of shenanigans in Sydney town. A really good week of Exhibition openings, drinking beer, gallery visits, Yum Cha, Rooftop painting, Bettys soup kitchen, warehouse parties, Couch painting and general chilling around Newtown and Nth Shore. Shout outs to all the crew, Beasty, Numskull, Phibske, Drew, Daek, Creepy, Max Berry, Sam, Reesey and the carnies for their good company and hospitality.
