Hilltop

Went on a photo mish around town with the Graffography crew last weekend. Fkn cold but worth the visit. I was surprised to see the walls so bare considering having had a conversation about the spot with Neonate and how popular it is and that was over a year ago.

Picture says it all..

Eek & Yelz

Unit DWT

Someone's been practising their sten skills....

F is 4 FUN

Should have got a shot of the ironing board (!?!?!) you can see bottom centre but didn't for some reason. Pezo had hit it.

An hour or so beforehand...

Went and visited Eek & Yelz while they had a paint behind Manky Chops. Eek just keeps getting better. Think we better keep a close eye on him!

I had planned on reporting about the buff etc but don't know where the photos have gone too.
They'll be around somewhere.

Thanks to M & A for the photo mish!

Coming up....

New Paste-ups

Some slaps

Thought I'd head up to Massey University to check out what was on offer after a few people told me they had painted there recently.

My man MUGS hit me up about his painting mish there the other night. I'll get some photos posted real soon.

...Or check out Graffography for some mean snaps of this building taken with his camera of destiny!

We had all been waiting for something like this to appear. Thanks James for the heads up.

As promised heres some old photo's.....

Neonate gave me some photo's that didn't get posted. Him and Rust had a small outdoor exhibit (the date on the photo is 22.03.07) in the carpark behind Foz's old workshop. Miss you Bro!

Check the blank door on the left. This is what it looks like NOW

Photo's from a paint mission out Kaiwharawhara way I believe

..And an oldie that was by The Mill.

Mean!

Coming up...

More old photos from years ago

Billboard

Yay. I'm pretty stoked that Kreuzberg Summer Cafe decided on giving Drypnz the chance to paint their empty billboard that was mentioned in an earlier post

I hadn't heard anything from them after I had posted their proposition so naturally I was a bit nervous that no-one had come through. It wasn't til Drypnz text me on the day of that I found out. Relieved!

The colour in the above photo I took is a bit cold looking. Sorry. I had to stand up over the fence and get a shot while some guy pestered me into having a sprig of jasmine. I think it turned out ok! Still, its a bit strange not seeing some Dryppls in there somewhere.

The Cafe mentioned that they might get someone in to change it up a bit in 6 or so months which to me sounds like an awesome Idea. I'll keep everyone posted.

While we're on the subject.....

Visit DRYPNZ.COM while you here.

Meanwhile...

I was walking up Willis St yesterday morning and spotted a construction worker trying to buff a mop tag with a white Posca pen. Oh to be that naive! It made my morning seeing how determined he was (or frustrated arather) to remove it. Ha ha.

One last thing, NEONATE i'm gonna miss you bro. Don't forget about us Wellingtonians! Chur cuzzy!

New Year

Since the new year has finally arrived and I'm a year older I've been contemplating moving to a different blog server site. One with more options for layouts etc Anyone know of any goodies? I've been researching Wordpress and it has come up tops so far.

Anyways, Ive been pretty lazy over the xmas period with all the drinking and the eating and more drinking you do at this time of year that I kinda let the graf slide right on by.

Got some flicks of IKON painting up what has steadily become his official place to paint, the Salvation Army car park, Vivian Street. It may be my untrained eye but when I went back to get the end result it looked unfinished?

I missed out on a run with 'THE FAMILY' a few weekends back to put up a collab of Eeks, me and Neonate. It looked fkn sick once it it was up. I love seeing the mash up of styles all thrown together. I get the feeling that we'll end up painting together again really soon.

(L -R) BEWARE Eeks and NEONate

Eeks, Pink Bits and Bango (with Gas Mask Girl and 666 put up earlier by SIN)

As of yesterday my camera decided that it was tired of snapping flicks and gave up the ghost. Lucky I have a back up, even though it chews through the batteries like a rabid goat. I apologise for the shift in quality in advance.

The year that was.

Xmas has come and gone and the year is slowly coming to an end. Not much has happened over he xmas period except for the usual school holiday influx of whack tags and scribbles all over the place.

I intended to do some more interview posts but this time of year has seen everyone leave town for a few weeks so will go right on back to them in the new year.

Meanwhile, heres some slaps I've found around town. Not many but it's a start ;-P

You just got decked!

Now that the life threating hangover that was self-inflicted has cleared.....

Manky Chops and ALC did it again! Nearly 100 skateboard decks were taken home, painted, sculpted, abused,thrashed then handed back to be exhibited. 2 venues and free beer. Oh shit!

Being the impatient human that I am, I couldn't help but want to see how this exhibit process all works so organised a sneak peek before the exhibit opened. Documentary styles!
