  1. sup everyone.. hasn't been the most hardout year for me painting wise, but anyway, my host has changed and most of my flics are just showing up as ? now.

Mainz, Germany, 2003. at the Snofest in Queenstown, NZ, 2004. A piece for my girl in 2003. With Phat and Mist in 2004. A RIP mural with Ikon for legend Martin Emond. With Sens and Theos With Wow123, Can2 and Atom in 2003.

  4. Yeah I freestyled that piece..I stepped back after I had finished and made the same comment...Fnny how that happened..It's basically the same outline shapes I always use..Must just be the colour combo or something...wierd.. But agreed.
  5. Sorry bro...I'll get around to it soon...So busy on the new issue of the mag...

  13. Thanks heaps for the positive responses to my work etc..I'm glad that people get something from it. I'll get around to posting some new stuff this week, we have some big productions with the rest of TMD planned so I'll post that as well... Thanks again...
  14. Re: Askew and style No doubt..Phos 4, Odem and Amok are really some of my favourite for letter construction..Atom really put me onto those guys style when he was discussing my letter structures..I def think I was one of those kids that learnt technique before good foundation and still feel I'm a student of the letter...I still look to Dondi and the above mentioned names for a lot of understanding of good letter balance and flow. Thats definitely true..I guess our old school wasn't that forthcoming with info nor that dedicated that we had any follow through wit indigenous style..It dissapoints me but makes me happy at the same time. I'm glad our writers can now paint with some of the worlds best and hold their own..The international flavour of our work really does represent the nature of our country though..Especially Auckland..It's truly a diverse place. haha..Well I actually wrote "Style Mastery" which refers more to my quest to master letters not really that I think I'm there, you know. I still feel like a student..I like looking at different styles and applying what I can see in technique and application that I can apply to my own work..I take it really seriously actually... Thanks for that, I must check that out. Guess I kinda gave you an answer for that above.... Well I think there can be, which has been prooven by many other 3D masters: Loomit: Incorporation of natural elements, extreme tension and fish eye perspectives. Daim: Use of realistic light, tangible shadows, 3D glasses effect, a style with the face smashed off, pixelised effect, half submerged under water, sculpture wit a number of mediums including snow, cement, wood..., splashed paint effect. Seak: Organic, phallic and insect like forms. Totem: Gunndam warrior style, More cartoon like in application. Able to defend itself, much to the phillosophy of Rammellzee and Dondi. I feel delta is definitely a style leader, but I havent seen most of those techniques touched on by him...Mostly he uses industrial and architectural design elements and good strong limited colour pallet. He has kept the outline on most of his stuff too...
  15. That last one is in ChCh with Lurq and Joke... Here's something from the AK03 festival..we skill-sawed out the tops of our pieces..It was very dramatic.... http://www.disruptiv.com/newstuff/asqak03.jpg'>
  16. Finally some new stuff!! http://www.disruptiv.com/newstuff/scribepixel.jpg'> http://www.disruptiv.com/newstuff/asqchecks.jpg'> http://www.disruptiv.com/newstuff/greywhitered.jpg'> http://www.disruptiv.com/newstuff/chchwirez.jpg'>
  17. Wish I had...Just only got to Europe for the first time recently..It blew my mind..I want to go to the US and South America some time in the next year or two...Work is hard out here.. We do a magazine called "Disrupt..The reason I've been on here a bit lately is cos' I have barely left my house in over a week while finishing our third issue..It will be available through Tower Records in North America, A few stores in Australia, and Hopefully in Europe through MZEE and At the Trash Mark store in Dortmund...It's an interesting insight into the NZ scene.. There haven't been any trains in these past few issues cos' we are saving them for the next issue which will be strictly NZ trains..But that's how few get done here...
  18. Mainly just the simple flat ones or really big ones that require heaps more fill than I can get in can...
  19. I dont Use Roller paint for any of the shading..Just for the flat stuff..Mainly for economy reasons.. Yeah the Premiums aren't readily available here at all...We only have option of Montana, Krylon and Plastikote....Ocaisionally we get the odd belton..
  20. Once again, thanks heaps for all the comments, positive, constructive...Etc..It's cool to have a dialogue with the world and believe me that's something we need more here in NZ... I've only just turned 24 and been painting for about 10 years now..I still feel I have a lot of growing and experiences to have..For example, I spent the last 2 years focused on productions, but I also feel that something of the raw street side of things has been missing so right now I'm focusing on that as well..Just for my own satisfaction..Plus it's been a miserable winter here and unfortunately paintings been slow..Anyway..maybe in the next few weeks I'll have some new stuff to post and look forward to the comments..
  21. Yeah I know Kasino and Dmote both well...I think Kasino's angle with the hollow thing was more like a hollow block buster..And that is definitely his invention.. To explain what I was actually trying to achieve with my hollow casings was this: If you turned a simple or wild piece into a 3D piece and then shifted all the elements around for effect..ie; If the out line and fill were two diffrent elements that could be pulled apart and even shifted at times to cut through each other..I've had this called "Cookie Cutters" by many people...I dunno if I've exactly achieved what I'm going for but yeah...That was the idea behind it... Anyway, cheers for the dialogue..
  22. Interesting...It's funny you think that Scien and klor are my influence here because that couldn't be further from the truth...At the same time I can respect your comparrison and can read the positive in with the negative in your post. I would actually like to get my take on this across too as I dont think you're totally correct in everything you've said. I've been painting for 10 years, but I'm young..I would honestly say that I agree that heaps of my earlier work was obviously influenced and I also had the great honour of working directly with many of the artists I most looked up to on many occaisons. All that aside, I just travelled to Europe recently and really discussed my direction with a lot of my mentors there..It was disheartening and inspiring at the same time..It made me question my direction thus far and re-assess my new direction... The thing is, I've been working in Graphic design etc for about 6 years and survive off painting work and freelance design..Pretty much every Hip Hop Flyer in Auckland and more recently album artwork is done by me...I really feel that I am a graphic designer that uses paint as my medium..So now my work reflects that.. I like muted colours..I like Type and Also use predominatly roller paints and brush for my walls now..Mainly because another factor people don't consider when they look at our work here in nZ is that we are one of the most Isolated countries in the world, making good paints relatively innaccessable and expensive..Also we have a very early history but no consistant role models and history...Until we saw Hype Magazine and the internet, basically we still only knew Subay art..thats even in the mid 90's... Inventions I feel I have rightly made in the 3D technique are: The Mutiple casings and hollow letters...I still haven't seen anybody do this but me...Also the new graphic version of my 3d pieces still keeps this tradition..Plus my actual letter forms have evolved slowly over the years from my plain silver letter style..The same shapes but evolved over time. I respect that you have made a fairly informed analysis but in reality, there is more to the story. Of course if you are saying that I am more of a technician than an inventor, I would probably agree that my strengths are more in that department..Cos I have moved fluidly between simple styles, throwups, tags, wild styles, comic style characters, photo realism, whole wall work, illustration, design etc.... Artists that need more recognition for pushing Graffiti into new directions: maclaim Crew www.maclaim.de ECB www.guerillagraphics.de (A true inovator of graphic style who never uses a computer to design his work) wow123 www.artcrimes/badwow123.htm Also the Kaos Design guys from Style File mag are fuckin amazing... Peace..

  24. Plasti was all we had for years but these days we have a bit better selection..to be honest though, we dont get half the selection the rest of the world have...It's hard being so Isolated from any major continents,,,
