dealing with rejection

here's a piece i painted to feature in the TMD book.
my dear friend Askew is putting it all together, and he said this piece is not up to standard! he's right doe... the letters are weak :(
shot for the honesty ha ha! i like the character doe
me n lil' Els (Deus) and navs have been out in Tuakau last weak painting a mural. A BLUE mural! click to see it big

pretty horrible painting on the angled corrugated fence... but came out all good

forgive me Jeebers!

have u been to Spookers? its like this pretend haunted house amusement attraction, its awesome... located in an abandoned mental hospital south of Auckland. Part of it is this 3D maze where me, lil' Elliot, Slope and Askew painted all the 3D artwork couple years back. They got this system with UV lights (blacklights) and special full spectrum glasses that make the pictures pop off the wall, its pretty nuts and top secret paint technology!

we were back today to add a new room, the scary chapel. we decided to go all antichrist stained glass window style on it!
its all just a bit of fun doe ay, i'm not really like that... honest to Dyle!


anyway, its always fun chanting praise to the dark lord whilst painting a pentagram around yourself on the floor in a dark room in a haunted abandoned mental hospital. Just another day in the office :)
p.s. the images in todays post are copyright Spookers & The Amazing Maze

bloody taggers

another day, another piece for the TMD book... still under wraps!
i had a look tonite at crew meetin at what the other boys n gals have been doin for it, omg u gon love it.

whilst painting today, met a kid from Melbourne who had fled the city after being stabbed in the neck over some graf beef?! cool scars doe!
above where my piece is, there was this lovely composition of Auckland "straights" (generic local tag styles). a plague to the city yet stylee in their own right


just nice to see em all tidily fitting in, pleasing my asthetic calligraphic sensibilities... not going over each other... cos we can see where that can lead

TMD life


its a big year for us, main objective is raising funds to get us back to europe to win that graffiti battle again. one of our fund-raising activities is publishing and selling a TMD book, with all-exclusive work from the whole crew.
I created some content for the book on the weekend, my concept is totally next level revolutionary but of course its top secret til the book comes out... here's a small detail to wet your appetite
oooh mysterious!

just found this pic from last week in Napier, check out the Maori patterns embedded in the Art Deco architecture... why don't all the buildings in NZ have this?!
