Mural Turpitude

Arrrrnette

A couple of weeks ago Sonny and muracle worker Dave Ladd installed Sonny’s crazy wave drawing in the Arnette offices in the city (of Sydney). But for the grace and mighty skills of Dave, Sonny might still be in there painting it now! We cannot thank him enough for all the hard work / mad skillz / murale-boosting excetera. We havent got photos sorted yet, but again DL to the rescue – he has some on his crazy great blog – here – there was another little fellow painted around the corner near the lifts which you can see there too.

BATS!

By Paul Dempsey

And finally, the cherry on top of the pie of updating I am choking on is… the animated video we made for Paul Dempsey’s fourth single – “Bats”. Mighty Nice are the amazing animators responsible for the goods. More info here, and YouTubeness here…v

Bill Posters

We had a lot of posters to add to the site – this is mainly because Popfrenzy have gone out of control amazing and toured a slew of awesome bands in the last few months. Including but not limited to: – Monotonix, – Health, – Micachu, – Slow Club, – Ponytail, – The Books, – Metronomy, – Camera Obscura – and then a little minifestival / maxiparty at the Civic called Slopfrenzy, – and we also did a few other posters as well. For folks such as… – David Thomas (as in from Pere Ubu), playing with The Holy Soul, – Talons album launch poster, – Speak n Spell Xmas Party Flyer, – Dappled Cities, – Birds of Tokyo, – Paul Demspey, – and also a poster for a skate Demo at Floriade

These Are Some Shirts

What We Did

Soooo…….. we haven’t updated this website really in months, so just went through and did a quick crash purge and have uploaded quite a few old jobs from late 2009 and so far this year. Here are a few new tshirt designs we’ve done – – for Washington – for Grinspoon – for the Laneway Festival – for Paul Dempsey – for Machine Custom Motorcycles

Wee

Patch

Time Flies! Crazy Town! We started making a wee patchwork of some of the jobs we have done this year – here it is… there were more, but it was getting a bit silly.

Thankyou a million times thankyou to everyone who came to our Monster Children show back in Oct. It was a big blurry success and double triple thanks if you bought work! We haven’t updated with any pictures yet but Garry has some on his wonderful blog and Nick made this video of Sonny, Joe, Thommy and Nick working on the install. Oh yeah and here’s us slothing round our house... answering questions awkwardly, preparing for said show…

We’ve been a bit busy lately working on a bunch of stuff for Laneway Festival – oh yes, Daniel Johnston (We made them this years new logo and design and illustration and a plethora of print ads… tshirts… hats….)

And the Paul Dempsey art machine keeps a rolling on with a very special project we are excited to be working away on right now. Let you know about that laters.

Plus Popfrenzy have gone nuts and are bringing out just about every amazing band over the Summer so we have got to make them a million posters!

So thankyou very much for checking out our site and please have a big fat merry holiday. We will be practicing our elocution and Obama style oration for our talk at next years agIdeas in Melbourne. If you are planning on attending please make sure you come to our talk in the nuddy. We have been told that will help our nerves or something.

SHOWTIME

!

We’re ecstatic to be having a little ol' show at Monster Chidren Gallery. Next Thursdy. Next Thursdy the 15th. Of October. Oh. Nine. It’s called “Trials”.

We had one called “Tragedies” and one called “Surrender”. And one called “Photocopulst”. But this is called “Trials” and its mainly screen prints, mainly 1 or 2 colours. Kinda cartoony. Three boobs. A lot of cigarette smoke. A dozen odd witches hats. A clowder of cats. Its about bad luck and badder health.

Please come along to our opening! We’ll be the anaemic and/or overly hirsute ones shmooping about in the shadows.

It is on: 6PM, Thursday October 15 Monster Children Gallery. 20 Burton St, Darlinghurst. Show is up till Nov 4.
