Normann party @ Magasin, Copenhagen

Norman is a product design company based in Copenhagen. last friday saw the launch of their latest product, a very minimal toy plane. To celebrate this they threw a massive party in the car park of 'Magasin' (a danish equivalent of selfridges). I was commissioned to paint some canvasses and customise some Reeboks for their VIP guests.

Write 4 Gold European Final - RT 2nd Place

We came second in the write 4 gold European final, held at the Splash Festival, in Leipzig, last week. The top 4 from the Euro final qualified for the world final the day after.

The topic given for the concept painting this time round was 'science fiction'. We came up with the idea of painting a Science Fiction convention, with the main letters filling the centre of the wall and the characters either side being sci fi nerds dressed up. made me laugh anyway.


Bigup RT Crew!!

Reebok x Secret Wars @ Bread & Butter

Reebok asked Secret wars to once again collaborate with them at the July Bread and Butter tradeshow in Barcelona. The format was slightly different from Januarys event, with the main focus being an ice cream van which was customised by Jimi C, mr K, Alfa and myself over the 3 days. more photos on the Monorex blog...


Thats us lot in the bottom left...


My design for the Secretwars x Reebok T-shirt. they come in black or white and theres only 100, so if you've got one, pat yourself on the back.


We did a lot of customised trainers for Reeboks main buyers and guests. Thierry didnt show this time though.

Write 4 Gold Germany - through to european finals!

This is our winning concept wall. Everyone was given the word 'legends' and a box of paint to come up with something. we came up with a ghetto version of the old legend of robin hood, replacing sherwood forest with an overgrown city, and the 'rich' being a pinstriped city boy getting pickpocketed by a hooded yout. turned out good for an 8 hour freestyle!

huge props to RT - Town, Choe, Vibe, Intro, Dazer, & Der.

Hit a local hall of fame the day after with all the paint we won, need to get a joiner of the whole wall...

GRL @ Tate Modern

Coinciding with Tate Moderns first ever street art exhibition, Graffiti Research Lab and myself were asked to do our thing at 'Raw Canvas', a Tate Studio event.

We (Chu, Jimi Crayon, Alfa, Teck) kicked off with some live drawing on the black glass walls of cafe 2, and once the crowds were inspired, they were let loose with a massive box of Edding pens in the annex. The turn out was impressive, with 700 people going through the doors, and many having to queue in the rain for ages to get in.

The highlight of the evening was GRL's Laser Tag display. Due to the wet weather we could only work in the turbine hall, but managed to get a few 50 ft wide reaches! I could have played on that thing all night.

Chu's 'your mum rang' went down a treat...

Secret Wars x Youtube x Google

Secret Wars were asked to paint at the Zeitgeist Europe 2008 Gala Dinner @ The Grove, Watford. The show included the most popular acts on Youtube including Beardyman, Mia Rose and the Vagabonds breakdance crew to name a few. Jimi Crayon, Stika, Mr k and the Disco Teck warmed things up with a display of live illustration. Due to security at the party (with Gordon Brown and the Queen of Jordan in attendance) we were not allowed to enjoy the open bar and other live acts, so the crew headed to the hotel bar for an evening of overpriced drinks and unacceptable behavior.
