Meggs – Art / Aerosol / Design

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.

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.

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.
