  1. Up at usual time. One of the dope things is that Adelaide and Tokyo are only ½ an hour apart so jet lag was nil. Our apartment was pretty bloody close to train tracks IMG_5916.mp4 Skatepark in this wicked spot under the train tracks for several blocks Took the train into town Graffiti at Ebisu as per usual. Shibuya scramble not as hectic as it used to be with one street closed off. Schnitzel with bandages to hide the tats/provide much-needed support to left knee. Fuck this was a nice coffee and so sorely needed. Hit up the Gashapon place. Big mistake because my daughter got so hyped about it and we spent a lot of money in these places throughout the trip. The Iceman MQUE Tower Records Good lord the older fatter me loved fried stuff on a stick so I was pretty hyped on this one. Takeshita street Harajuku Corn dogs or what I imagine corn dogs are. Some Korean hotdogs Animal café (very dubious animal welfare standards I suspect) Gigantic fairy floss is another big mistake from me. but the kids loved it and they crashed hardcore when they got home. then because the kids were cactus and Disneyland was tomorrow we headed back for some relaxation with the kids hitting the Ipad and schnitzel trying to convince mrs Schnitzel to add another stamp to our passport so to speak doradao day is a couple days in future

  2. Think it’s been far too long since we had a travel pic thread and since I’m all for generating new content on here and avoiding the “back in the days” nostalgia thought I’d put my photos where my mouth is. It was a gloomy rainy day last April when I looked at flights. And since I have the right combo of a bit of spare cash and a TOTAL lack of long term planning Ibooked some flights for last September to Japan. The plan was to fly to Tokyo, then to Okinawa for one week where we would drive around, and then to Osaka before flying home from Tokyo. This way we hoped to combine Japanes-y stuff ( for me) with tropical warmth (my wife), Japanese food (me), Disneyland/colossal aquariums (kids), bullet train (my son), and J-Pop and kooky fashion (my daughter), animal cafes (my kids). So, hope you enjoy. Had a crazy moment when my wife (for some reason I cannot fathom) packed my daughter’s old and new passports but forgot my son’s and we nearly had a big old argument. Had to fly to Sydney and overnight there. 7 years ago when I left Sydney I was stoked to see a tag on this wall but the scene has gotten way more hardcore. Flying over PNG Sunset ooks cool through the Polarised windows Landed. Japan really doesn’t trust gaijins you have to give some of your fingerprints before you even get to immigration. NOTE the stupid fucking sushi soft toy my daughter insisted we take Made it to the house. Kids to bed Schnitzel to 7/11 for beers

  5. The big day for the kids Tokyo Disney land Breakfast of champions Pork Buns and iced coffee. manhole cover shot because it was nice In our $150.00 Uber to Disneyland because where we were staying would have involved 4 trains to get there. Monorail from train station before we hit the queue. Fuck me it was like 5,000 people long and it was 25 minutes before opening time. But being Japanese it was fast to get in and no bad vibes. The same queue in Australia would be full of people complaining about it. Everybody was decked out which was really cool. I was 100% in the top 10 fattest people in the entire 20,000 people there that day. It's funny the Japanese seem to like nice, clean-to-eat food until you get to Disneyland in which case everybody is walking around chomping on a big ol greasy smoked Turkey leg good thing about riding the teacups was that the parade came out while we we in the queue right next to it Thicc? (mrs incredible haha) biting this tshirt for a piece one day. I thought it was pretty cool to wear some bootleg disney shit at disneyland Had to stay for the night time parade the exit was also mobbed as was the giftshop - this shit was like the last dry deck on the titanic. then we got outside and discovered that an uber was going to cost about $250.00 and would be a wait so I grabbed a taxi. The one taxi in Tokyo where the driver spoke not a word of English and could not read a word of English so I had to set up google maps and pray my phone didn't go dead on the 40 minute drive home. One thing is for sure. TOKYO by the freeway at night is a beautiful experience. it's just a sea of lights as far as the eye can see. would have taken photos but my phone was dying and I had to wave my arms to describe which way to go to the cabbie. Until we reached the home area and he understood what I meant by "OTA CITY" then we high-fived. more later Always. I always keep 12oz in mind when traveling.

  6. I've been building with the mods for the last couple weeks. First providing a heads up on that server migration and upgrade and after, on some stuff I'm working on to evolve the 12ozProphet brand, forum and community. I figured I'd take this discussion public, with the hopes that I might be able to get some feedback, insight and assistance from all you guys... TLDR Version: There is the biggest forum update in our history coming up next month, that will be the first major step to the rebirth / relaunch of 12ozProphet that will be taking place over the course of this year. I have a lot in motion already and a lot more mapped out that I'm working on, but could use some help in making it happen. We're also going to relaunch the brand, build a new main website and start promoting the shit out of all of it. If I can pull it together, I'd also love to kick off a podcast. ---------------------- Full Explanation Long Version: 1. More Forum Upgrades: The forum will be undergoing a massive update, expected at some point in March. This will be the biggest update to the forum software since the very beginning. The software itself has finally evolved to a point where it's no longer chasing social media and trying to compete feature by feature. Seems the world has finally realized we all got fucked... It's almost generally accepted by most that social media has run its course and everyone is wondering what's next. Even people I knew that were champions for social media and quick to claim forums were dead see the algorithms and big data for what it is and are pissed with what we've been left with. I've been beating that drum for a minute, so not at all surprised to see it come full circle. Seems the big brains behind the base software that makes up this forum have finally stepped back and embraced forums for what makes them distinct from social media and have focused on the differences that make forums a unique flavor of online community. The new forum update shows an obvious understanding and focus on building and refining the features that underpin this type of community instead of scrambling to try and copy shit off Instagram or Twitter. The new forum won't feel entirely foreign, but will feel like we somehow skipped many versions forward into the future with how slick it all feels and functions. Obviously this forum is best experienced on a desktop, but does work okay on mobile. The new version will be many times better on desktop and an entire new level as far as mobile. Though this version is adequate on mobile, the new version is designed from scratch to feel like a mobile app with a user interface that is extremely well considered and features, function and user experience that is much more app-like. I will announce a heads up before that update happens, but it's expected sometime probably in the latter half of March. 2. Dedicated 12ozProphet Forum Mobile App: With the advancements in tech with mobile devices as well as the new forum software, we're finally at a point where it looks like we can actually pull off a dedicated mobile app. I've been running a sort of beta version on my iPhone for about a month and it works about as well as the mobile version of the forum currently. With the massive overhaul of the new forum software we'll be upgrading to next month, that version genuinely feels about as slick as you'd expect for a legit mobile app. @psm026 has told me for years that the biggest reason for the forum dropping off was the dawn of mobile apps. How apps are self contained ecosystem that keeps you boxed into their world and with a compelling reminder to jump in every time you see the icon on your phones home screen. If nothing else, people have been begging me for a 12ozProphet app for at least a decade or longer and it's finally about to happen. Again, we'll announce it as we lead up. In fact, I might run some unofficial beta tests with some of you guys. But this is expected deeper into the year after we've upgraded the forum to the new system. 3. Relaunch of the 12ozProphet Brand: Most of you guys following along know I launched a screen printing business a few years ago just before the world went sideways with COVID. I documented some of the early days of that in a thread here on the forum. Since then, it's been greatly evolved and now encompasses a pretty big space with a ton of capability and capacity. It's retarded that it took me so long to get back to the 12ozProphet brand, but truth is that it wasn't easy building out that facility and between that and all else I have on my plate, I just fell short. That will be changing very soon and the goal is to not only bring 12ozProphet back with a vengeance, but to treat the facility as a creative studio and spin off all kinds of related and unrelated brands and projects. This facility is perhaps the biggest strategic advantage we have along with the fact that of all the 1990s era brands, very few can point to the love and respect 12ozProphet had plus the fact that we simply never sold out. The integrity and heritage that 12ozProphet represents is something that very few others can claim and between that, our history, experience and talent on top of the strategic advantage of owning a facility like 12ozCollective puts things in a pretty amazing place. Took me many, many years but finally about have my ducks in a row. 4. Relaunch of the main website: Maybe it can be argued that the forum is the main website, but I've been working on and off to create a main website that covers the basics of communicating who we are, what we've done and what we're doing. I'm not in a position to do all the cool editorial I'd like to do or have the resource to bring back the blog roll (though I have been tumbling that idea in my head). I am in a position to at least create a good landing page, a few key sections to help describe our story and perhaps showcase some of the milestones and projects. It's largely done and will also allow us to create various landing pages and conversion funnels to help everything from recover old forum accounts to helping convince new people on why they should drop off Instagram and share their ideas, experiences and photos on 12ozPorphet instead. 5. Podcast, marketing and promotion (etc): I've been asked to develop a podcast since just about the time podcasts started. Honestly it's been something that has drifted in and out of my focus and something I feel like an utter dumbass for not having done earlier (along with a decent Youtube channel). Being honest, I'm still struggling on deciding what form a 12ozProphet podcast could take, but I am working on developing the idea. Most likely it'll probably launch as a 12ozCollective podcast first, focusing on creative, production, fashion and culture; but I'm also looking at how the framework I develop (if I proceed with it) can be applied to a 12ozProphet podcast. I have a tendency to over think shit and often take it way too seriously from jump street, which in turn has a tendency to bog things down and become over built and top heavy. I'm trying my best to reign that tendency in and treat it as something just fun and informal. As much a personal diary of sorts or way to think through and workshop up ideas and discussions with interesting people. Then record it, package it and share it. Anyhow, that's the idea and I hope I can pull it off. Unlike the stuff mentioned in 1 - 4, the podcast concept is a "hope to pull off" and not a "dedicated to making it happen". Beyond that is the plans to truly start leveraging social media and outreach to start making real noise. I know a ton of people and the people I know, know a ton more. Additionally we have a large, engaged community on here that collectively, probably know just about everyone worth knowing. My hope is that we can work together to mobilize and coordinate on these efforts. To spread the word and help make the case on why it's worth returning and joining our community versus getting taken for granted and taken advantaged of on social media. ---------------------- I know some are likely skeptical we can pull it off. Lord knows I've been trying for pretty much my entire adult life. We've come close a few times, struggled and fell short other times, but the important thing is we have never given up on what this can be. I have never given up on 12ozProphet and I'm hoping I ca count on all you guys to help me keep pushing. Between the grumbling I keep hearing from more and more people about social media and all the strategic advantages I've engineered over the past years, I think the time has finally come. I'd love to hear feedback from you guys, as well as ideas on how we might be able to take whacks at some of this stuff.

  7. Dorado Day for @LUGR Morning snorkel with the boy - visibility was shit. found a wicked concrete pipeline I could walk along to get miles out in the water. Probably a sewage line but it meant we could walk out rather than swim out. An interesting thing from the US occupation was the rise of drive-in diners all over the island. we were told to go to Cape Zanpa Drive-in. So we did. Coffee and burgers and shakes went up the lighthouse and watched a guy frantically casting to take advantage of the Dorado kicking around the deep water cliffs (my wife's camera has a piece of dust stuck in the lens can you tell?)

  8. Had to be up semi early the next day love all the train posters they have in japan my inner rail nerd wanted to steal it. Airport where we found out the robotic baggage check-in does not mess about with weights. We had to repack all the bags just right and eat all the snacks etc. Tokyo goes on forever from the air. Landed in Okinawa. can of coffee. Rental car The Toyota TANK lol! Then 37km drive along the main north-south freeway. Okinawa is the only Japanese prefecture with no rail at all. During WW2 the United States bombed the railways so heavily that it was eliminated and during the occupation, the US put in freeways instead of rebuilding. Driving in Okinawa is pretty fun. The top speed limit is 80 km/h but I was doing 100 km/h and still being overtaken by everyone. The apartment was fucking sweet was a bit scared it was gonna be a shithole but I needn’t have worried. Cool bus for a restaurant. The creatures are called Shisa and they came to Okinawa from China in the 14th century. Closed mouth – good spirits in Open mouth bad spirits out Love a good Asian restaurant. Eating would be so much more fun if Australian restaurants decked out like Las Vegas. The tank in all its glory. Looks like a piece of shit but was great for parking with sliding doors and the back was flush so you could park real close to a wall. went to American Village for dinner in Chatan. it's close to Kadena Airforce base and was packed with African American servicemen and their ultra tanned Japanese girlfriends.

  9. Member Number 0000001. JOINED: May 7, 1999. Early 50's now. This thread makes me want to start posting stories in The Unofficial History of 12ozProphet Thread. An especially good one that is highlighted in the Spotlights section. Thank you to all of you, past and present for decades of LOLZ. This thread though, gives me the warm and fuzzies.

  10. I came in here to wish everyone Happy Holidays and I see this and start to get bummed out. I felt this way once, and still do about what it's turned into, but the spirit is still there. Maybe go serve at a soup kitchen during the holidays? That's the real spirit of Christmas. Not packages with pretty bows.

  12. So here is the initial video I pieced together of today’s events which depicts the lead up to Me “Going for a Walk(about)” as any Australian kid probably was forced to read the book Walkabout during their tenure as a student. There is going to a be a part as the days events unfolded as I detail what happened in the hospital (will make sense if you watch what happens). Also I’ll try and include the local art from time to time as I’m sure it will be appreciated here. I will have a shave probably at the end of next week when I set off on the journey fully as a new beginning for Me. While My phone recharges I’ll be going to decorate My van with some prints I have, yet if anyone wishes to send Me their stickers, prints, pieces or whatever to decorate the inside of My van until it looks like My “local” haunt Hill St Blues in Amsterdam, hit Me up in PM for a mailing address. I refuse to leave it as I found it, and I have a paint can I can spray something with on the walls to match the blue that the previous owner coloured the interior. I’ll perhaps film an update tomorrow and additionally show you around the various suburbs of Perth as I work away starting with Applecross.

  13. Breakfast then off to town Largest city is Naha traffic sucks so they have a monorail that goes around town. Pokemon trains etc. Samurai mac but I can't recall what made it special. went through the centre of town to kokusai Dori coffee obviously didnt work on this dude 2000's era graff at Xlarge went to DonQuiote discount store. this shit is an institution in Japan. I love it for the bonkers signwriting in the store - all hand cut hand painted lettering. each store employs a full time sign painter to do their merchandising and it rules. found paint so I decided to go scope a spot out under the freeway near our apartment. Went back that night expecting it to be a ghost town and came face to face with a group of bus drivers eating noodles round a card table.

  15. From a mural project 12ozProphet did back in 2010. Day 1, superintendent of NYC schools showed up randomly, and got heated with the crew for not using safety gear, mistakenly thinking we worked for him. Next day started playing it safe Even Marty donned the official AKA safety gear. Mr. Raven, Futura, Martha Cooper, and an anonymous 12oz legend in the back Futura turning $12 kicks into collectors items. Octavio taking a different approach to footwear. Martha Cooper & Henry Chalfont dropping in. Me giving an interview covering the virtues & downfalls of hostess snowballs Octavio & Gustavo taking an actual interview break Crew Taking a break in that hot NYC summer heat/humidity Back in the Lab AKA/12oz Headquarters Finishing up the job. Futura let me drive the whip that day, insane 1 of BMW, and I didn't scratch the rims. Finito. Originally the the school said it had to be an educational mural, so the Twins gave a B&W sketch showing all the flags and the school gave permission thinking at least the kids could learn the flags. Later, they did all the flags the wrong colors. Genius. My favorite is the Molotov Cocktail ancom flag where the left ball would rest.

  17. Pay rent ahead 6 months instead of 3 . Buy a new couch. Get a sorbet maker and use it . Get a nut butter maker thing. Save up for some rane turntables and a nice 4 channel mixer. Actually purchase vst and vsti software instead of pirating. Go outside next summer instead of chilling out in my 61 degree apartment from spring to fall. Only have one friend with benefits instead of 3+ on rotation. Think about the fact I'm older and should consider life even older. Take more pictures.

  25. Sup Foo's? I finally installed some closet drip today. I bought this shit from Lowes. It was a closet kit that's meant to fit in one of them 2x8 ft long boy closets with the tower in the middle and then hang bars on either side to the wall. I don't have that set up but i liked the look so I copped 2 kits and figured I'd just rearrange the pieces to suit my needs. Easy peasy, right? I got started on this butt fucking piece of shit at 9 am, made 2 trips back to Lowe's to buy legs for this thing and lots of different toggle bolts, lag screw, and washers for spacers, to custom put this thing back together. I wrapped up right around midnight. Here we have exhibit A Base cabinet First and foremost this shit didn't come with legs. It was originally supposed mount directly to the wall above the baseboard. Turns out I forgot just how wack the framing was on this wall and if I was to make this thing work, I'd also be hanging this 150 lb tower from the pocket door framing. The pocket door framing is like 3/8" thick with an 8th of an inch thick metal on one side of it so you don't poke screws through into the door. So the wall mount wasn't going to work. I made my first trip of the day to the store to go get legs for this fucking thing. EXHIBIT B Fucking legs ($45 per tower) Right! Now we're really getting into the fuck ass shit. Now that this boner sucking piece of garbage has legs, it doesn't sit flush to the wall. Nothing left to do but start cutting away baseboard. Yah trick yahhhhh. Gonna keep that piece so there isn't an obvious gap of no trim between the legs when you look under the towers. Nothing left to do but cut out that top piece of the base and this thing will sit flush against the wall. Installed the first cleat that's gonna hold the base snug to the wall. The lag bolts they provided with this closet kit were 2 1/2" long. That's way too long for that left side that's going to have to go into that pocket door stud. Off to the store. I wanted to get some 1 1/4 lag screws. They were out. Great. The guy shows me 1 1/2 inch lag screws. I think that's too long so I grab a few washers to act as a spacer for the screw so it doesn't punch through the metal and scratch up the door as it opens and closes. It all attaches to the wall no problems. Sike. I had to drill a new recessed hole into the cleat because they were pre drilled for regular stud spacing of 16" on center. Oh yeah and the clear was also too long. Not for long. I just mowed about 2 inches off the end of that trick. Like so. Boom fast forward to the top cleat, base cabinet, and top cabinet being installed. Now it's time to repeat the whole process over again for the other tower. Boom. And just like that it was midnight and that trick was sufficiently whooped. it's beautiful!

  26. Well I've been working on a horse piss rotted trailer restoring it into a new bar for like months. The entire bottom half literally all the way up the sides was completely rusted and I had to replace the entire frame and walls myself. Got to buy an awesome new welder and plasma cutter, learned how to tig weld too! This was only my second time painting but it turned out alright def learned a ton now I have 3 bikes and a 50's jeep to build that my fiance wants to paint tiffany blue and pink. Ended up having to rent an actual shop which is dope to have and actually afford. Finally am 95% of the way there and its out working already and hopefully going to double my income this year so I can like buy a house or start another business or something. Heres the progress shots. Also sold a cafe racer I build and I think I posted here a while back for like $10k and its going to a museum I guess. I have 3 more bikes to build and hopefully going to fetch close to that and then I am going to attempt to get my dealer license. Theres more trim to go on and more lights and interior work. It was a $500 start to a project but in a few month once I finish it, it'll be even nicer. Chicks love horse trailers at their weddings I guess... this just doesn't have much cool factor for me...

  27. @misteraven- Having known you for quite some time, this stood out for me: "I have a tendency to over think shit and often take it way too seriously from jump street, which in turn has a tendency to bog things down and become over built and top heavy. I'm trying my best to reign that tendency in and treat it as something just fun and informal." While I felt that when reading it, I know that it is that overthinking, that attention to detail, and wanting to make something perfect that has made everything you've been part of stand on its own. There is no equal. I don't think it's any secret to anyone in this forum, or anyone familiar with just the 12oz Prophet brand, but you have single-handedly shaped how Graffiti books, magazines, websites, and other forums look and feel. Your aesthetic isn't a reaction to what others are doing but more what your heart tells you to do, and I know we all appreciate that level of dedication. I think this is one of the many reasons why 12oz Prophet has always had a loyal following... because we know that even if it takes years for a new drop we are confident that it will be very much worth the wait. If it's a book or magazine or shirt we know that if we don't act as soon as it drops that product will no longer be available due to being sold out. I say all that to convey that I will always show support for 12oz Prophet, the forum & website, and the 12oz Prophet Collective. Podcast: There are quite a few Graffiti/writer/artists podcasts out there and they're all basically the same. They interview a well-known writer, dive deep, and keep it about 60-90 long. Granted, there are some that are damn good and I enjoy them but I'd like to see a different perspective. I'm honestly not sure what that perspective is because any writer tuning in to hear what a respected writer has to say is hoping to hear about writing, their history, good stories, etc.. So maybe it's the interviewers that shake up the format? Thinking about podcasts like Smartless where you have three hilarious fellas interviewing their peers (for the most part), and the format is similar to hundreds of others but it's the banter back and forth between the three that is entertaining. Mobile app: Curious to see how this affects viewership of the forum. I'm just wondering if not having a mobile app up to this point has been what is keeping folks from coming back. Everyone seemingly lives on their phones, not their laptops/desktops, so I'm hopeful this will increase traffic.

  31. I've still got one of the original magazines from I'm guessing 1997 when I was in my early 20's. and I'm getting closer to 50 now. Fun facts: First UN: Dick Hurtzer 2789 2nd account user name !2789! 1st name change: Mercer2789 2nd name change was to Mercer. I didn't look at the forum until 4 years after I stopped painting I thought talking shit anywhere on the internet was dry/self snitching This account was the first one to get an extra tic tac when the props system was introduced I earned that first tic tac when I copy pasted this shit story from someplace, probably Reddit Looking back now, @Mauler5150 was one of the three people that propped that post

  33. @Schnitzel I have been there before. I lost my job in the 08 recession and went a couple years without secure employment. The emotional turmoil was tougher than the financial hardship. Do try to not let it get you down or feel that it is a reflection of your worth, people get and loose jobs all the time with no regard for actual merit. You are a dad all the time, on holidays or otherwise. Learning to navigate this hardship will set for them just as good or better an example of how to live as anything else.
