Haha in Town part 1

My good friend HaHa just turned up as a part of his round the world trip smashing out art and investigating the alternative. If you havent already, head over to his blog here. The blog is a fictitious tale based on actual events and photographs continuing on from his comic ‘The conspiracy of HaHa’. Here are a few images from the first few days since he arrived. More to come…

London

New work up in Sclater street carpark off Brick Lane, East London. Cheers to all those who came down.

The talented Kiah Roache-Turner made a trip over to Melbourne the other week to record this mammoth paste-up going up and here is the result. Massive thanks to pld for putting the sounds together and to DENSUNSHINE.com for hooking this up.

Abbotsford Wall

Thanks to BUZZ PRODUCTS for giving me permission to work on this wall. Some are calling it the largest Paste-up in the country which I think sounds pretty cool but am not sure at this stage if it is or not. Was a lot of fun putting it up and special thanks to my good friend Lisa for giving a helping hand. Will have a video of the day up hopefully soon for you to check out.

Yesterday a few people head down to Dean Sunshine’s wall in Brunswick (next to the Mrs Secondhand on Ann St). Make sure you head down as there is now great new works by Shida, Heesco, Jak Rapmund, Makatron and Phibs

Country

I just got back from a few weeks up in Woorabinda QLND the other day and had an amazing time working with the kids up there on a few projects. I will have some photos soon from the trip but here is something else I got up to. I cant wait for the first person to drive past this and bug out. Its on a road that you may get 1 car a month drive down. Middle of nowhere.

Great day today at Blender Studios where we got to see SWOON come by and put up a couple of paste-ups. Night ended up with a pasting mission with HAHA, JUNKY, VEXTA, SWOON and NO FRILLS . Pretty good day all round.

Stop! motion.

Thanks to all those who came down to help out getting these cowboys up on the wall. Special thanks to Caro and Sarah Guthrie for helping with the stop motion, Lisa Crutchley for getting sticky with glue and Edwards Moore architecture firm who let me use their wall.

This is a video of a poster I put up quite a few months ago and has been long since buffed. Great look at the process involved in putting one of these up, hope you enjoy.

Special thanks to Davey Sams who shot and cut the clip and Ned Beckley for coming up with the great audio.

WHITE RABBIT

Finished this about a month ago and only just got out to finally take some snaps of the final product. The restaurant, White Rabbit, is in Brighton right on the middle Brighton Train station Melbourne.

CBD Pasting

Went out pasting earlier in the week with a local dude with some serious skills. Check his stuff out here on flickr. Wanted to get a few more up but the Melbourne heat conquered.
