Fiddy Twitter Gold

If I was had time to waste on twitter, the one person I would actually be interested in following is 50 Cent judging by his golden tweets below.

Sketch Swap Shit

So some of you may remember that a little while back i posted these sketches I did for a swap with Jaes, Storm and Nemo.

The guys have returned me some ill sketches and I am eager to paint them.
I found an hour during the week to get this funky little number from  Jiggy Jaes up on a spot and was pretty happy with the result for quick smash up!
Bigups to JBizzurns, Nemo and Storm Oner for getting me these bangin sketches.

Funny new Sportcenter ad.

Dirty Tattoos...

On Sunday I made the 2hr journey up to Coolum to see my good friend Ben Laukis at Coolum tattoo.

Ben is a very talented writer and tattooist who specialises in colour and greywash portrait work as well as having really dope script and lettering. I had a bit of a concept of getting two colour portraits on the back of my legs and when I decided I was doing it for sure, my homey Ben was the only guy for the job.

I figured seeings I was making the journey up, it would only make sense to document a bit of the day for the blog, so heres some flicks.
Apologys some of the pics aint the best as they are from my iphone. As usual you can click to enlarge,

Jordans Response to Lebrons Nike Ad

a few weeks back i posted the new Lebron Nike ad  responding to the critics of his move to Miami.

Subsequently the Heat have had a dismal start and many pundits are openly questioning James' heart and will to succeed.

This video is a direct response to the Lebron ad.

Jay Z interviewed by Howard Stern

A Pretty interesting and in depth interview.

Worth the listen.

New Does x Ironlak Video

Much respect to my friend Does!
Great video, props to all involved.

Sell yourself..

The Fighter

I get the feeling this is going to be really fucking dope.

I remember watching Mickey Wards battles with Gatti and was just amazed at the heart of those two guys.

Looking forward to this one.

Some recent hands..

A wise man once said " The more I practice, the luckier I get"

I'd like to think that my game is improving, and its nice when Jokerstars lets the cards fall my way occasionally.

Second Royal Flush - unfortunately couldntget much value.

Flop Quads, Get Paid

Just to rub it in....

Big Blind Special- something poetic about four 4's

 

 

 

 

 

 Of course Pokerstars being Jokerstars, it wouldnt be right if people didnt catch some bad beats on me.

Unfortunately I copped 3 HORRIBLE beats in a row the other, one two-outer, and two 3-outers in about the space of six hands and lost a fair stack because of it. I screen capped the first, the second i was too fuming, and the third I was ready to punt my computer thru the window, so i logged out haha.

A lot of people talk up Bad Beats, but here is the proof:

Nice Highlight Vid

Lebron James - Rise

Lebron has gone from one of the most revered athletes in the world to one of the most reviled in the space of a few months.
On the eve of the new NBA season at his new team, Nike have given him a platform to address the critics in a way that is poignant and at times humorous.

Robert Downey Jr. reacts to Dan Hardy getting KTFO

 The boys from Sherlock Holmes were in attendance at UFC 120 this past Saturday, taking in a few fights while enjoying a break from the production of their upcoming sequel. No doubt there was some friendly, posturing going on between the three superstars, as Robert Downey Jr. is the only American in the group, while Jude Law and Guy Ritchie are both very, very British.

At one point, during the first round of the co-main event between Dan Hardy and Carlos Condit, the patriotic divide between the three entertainers appeared to reach it's breaking point. Late in the round, right after Condit landed a punishing left hook that dropped his British opponent, RDJ is seen leaping from his seat and celebrating the American's victory in the middle of a stunned O2 arena.

 Then, as referee Dan Miragliotta is jumping in to stop the fight, we see Downey Jr. look down at (the still seated) Law and Ritchie with a big ol' American grin on his face.

 Sadly, we weren't able to see the (what we could only imagine to be) looks of horror on the faces of the other two, as one of their fellow countrymen laid sprawled out on the canvas.

Melbourne Street Art

A rare positive piece about the artistic merit of Melbournes graff and street art filled laneways.

Brisbane City Council would do well to pay attention.

Holy Shit...

LOA are always right on top of the gangsta shit, but they found a gem here.

This is easily one of the best film clips ever. I mean seriously, what ISN'T in this clip?

Red October

Ok, so she has died her hair blonde here, but that can not deny the fact that Kate Winslett is a natural ranga.

Not to mention her boobies out, sketch scene in Titanic was the stone cold highlight of the movie..

Trust me, you can spend waaaaay too much time looking into this....

No Not This Red October...

....This Red October:

Thats right scumbags and degenerates. After giving Calendar Girl the month off, I have come back with the brainwave from my main hombre Boozy Tuesy.

The man is a bit of a fan of the ginger goodness, and he came up with the idea to rock Red October all month long. So I'm going to do my best to bring the best of the reds to the Essential Shit for your viewing pleasure.

Here's a special one just for you Big Tuesy...

The Roots, JT and Jimmy Fallon

I cant decide whether I think its kind of cool that these guys are jamming with the Roots and went to the trouble to rock this. Part of me def enjoyed it. The other part of me thinks I should be cringing in disgust at what hiphop is coming to and that The Roots are even doing this.

the conundrums we bitter, cynical old hiphop heads face....

Anyway, have a look and decide for yourself.

They put a sword in my funny bone..

This is pretty funny, this kid is on some good shit.

shouts to Bliggsy for putting me on to this gem.

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

Science!

I'm a Joey Diaz fan. Face it, the guy is just pretty fuckin funny.
If you're a fan of MMA check for his Joey Karate vids too, he does some great breakdowns.

UFC 119 Thoughts....

Well, I just got back from watching UFC 119, and to be honest I sort of wish I hadn't wasted my time.
It definitely had to be one of the most boring cards in recent memory.

CroCop clearly has no interest in actually fighting anymore, he is just picking up paychecks on his name, and the Bader v Nogueira and Serra v Lytle fights were far from captivating.

Overall the card was so disapointing I cant even be bothered to review the fights, other than to say that the few shining lights from this blackhole of an event were:

Sherk v Dunham  - the veteran and former champion in Sherk took on the undefeated up and coming prodigy in Dunham. Thisfight was really going to show where Dunham stood in the food chain and he really lived up to his potential.
It was incredibly close fight that Sherk won by Split Decision, and one that will be controversial to some extent.

I felt Sherk won round one, Dunham convincingly won round 3.

I gave Dunham round 2, but it was so close that I was absolutely certain it would be a split decision, and not suprised in the slightest that Sherk got it. 

It was a hell of a war though, and the one great fight of the card.

Seeing fellow UG poster Sean McCorkle get a crack in the big show, then crack big Mark Hunts arm was a highlight for all of us who follow Sean's comedic threads on the Underground.

Unfortunately after watching the snooze fest of a main event we are shown a great submission by CB Dollaway for Sub of the Night, but we dont get to see the whole fight, and to make matters even worse ( I know, seems impossible to get worse right?) the co-Fight of the Night - Mitrione v Beltram isnt aired either.

We have been blessed with some pretty good events lately, even if the cards havent been too awe inspiring so I will lay off this abortion for now, but the UFC really needs to bring the goods with the next event.

Inspirations pt.1

Ok, I've been kind of slack on the blog tip a little lately, things have been mad hectic.
I needed to show some love though, so I thought I would do make some posts with flicks of some of the guys getting creative around the world that are inspiring me lately, whether that be graff, illustration, phtography, tattoos or whatever.

Im a kick it off on the graff tip with a guy Ive gotten to chat to a little lately, who hails from Bosnia.

His name is Nemo One and I first saw his shit in Down by Law magazine I believe and have since kept an eye out for his work. Funnily enough, he hit us up to try and get some Ironlak in Bosnia, so the (graff) world is a very small place.

Enjoy his shit. I do.
