Anderson Silva is a bad motherfucker..




Anderson Silva is still unbeaten inside the Octagon, and still the UFC middleweight champion, after a spectacular first-round knockout win over Vitor Belfort at UFC 126.
  Although the first round hadn't had much action up until that point, the out-of-nowhere knockout from Silva was spectacular, and gave him an exclamation point on his UFC record 13th consecutive victory.



Meanwhile, the ill as fuck, explosive up n comer Jon Bones Jones just cleaned up fellow undefeated prospect Ryan Bader. Jones looks humungous at 205 and his domination of Bader was massively impressive.

He now gets his shot at Shogun next month, and while I think that Shogun probably has too much experience for Bones right now, its hard to put anything past him. it should be a SICK fight, because both guys will believe they are the better striker and wont shy away from the fight.


Quick shouts to the the bookies for having the younger, bigger, stronger, equally talented Griffen as underdog to Rich Franklin. That made no sense to me, and proved to be good for my wallet.

B-Boy Vs B-BOY

This kid is going to be an absolute beast of a B-Boy when he grows up.


J.Cole is the business.

I've been digging on this cats stuff for a while now, his Warm Up mixtape set it off and his guest spot on Blueprint 3 hyped me more.

His new mixtape Friday Night Lights is fucking dope and in an era of weezys and jeezys and basically shit commercial hiphop, im stoked to see this kid be the first signing to Roc Nation.

His got legit flow and lyricism that would hold its own in the golden era of east coast rap, plus he has the backing of Jigga money and beatsmiths. I'm really hoping a kid like this is the future of hiphop in the US and not Drake or some Lil Wayne imitation.

Put it this way, if these mixtapes are the quality of stuff thats not making the album, I'm fucking amped on how good the album could be.

If you don't already know, you should, but either way I'll make it easy for ya.

The lights go out on 2010

Being a bit of a fan of the majestic and graceful art of smashing the other guys face in that is Boxing, i thought i would share this little vid of 2010's best knock outs ( according to some guy on youtube). Enjoy.

Calendar Girls 2011

I've been kind of slack on this since the epicness that was Red October, but for 2011 ( sans January ) I'm gonna bring it back ( in the Sir Mix-a-lot sense of the word.)

I was going to throw February open to suggestion, but last night I was kickin it home with the fam and watching Modern Family and thought to myself, 'Damn, this Sofia Vergara is pretty damn smokin'I'm gonna make her my February Calendar Girl.

So folks, I know its a day early but fuck it, enjoy.

Ben Laukis + Surf n Ink = Dirty Dirty



A week or so ago, I made the short journey down the freeway to the Gold Coast to hook up with my man Ben Laukis who you may remember from my ill Dirty Harry tattoo a month or so ago.

This time I was lined up to get my Dirty bookend, the man, the icon Old Dirty Bastard.
ODB was/is one of my alltime favourite MC's who's solo album return to the 36 chamber: the dirty version is still in my top 10 of all time. For those of you that were born post '93, its hard to explain just what kind of impact he and the Wu had on hiphop when 36 chambers dropped.

I wanted to have the matching Dirty Harry v Old Dirty legs, plus have a tribute to an alltime great character of the hiphop game.

Ben was tattoing at the huge Surf 'n Ink tattoo convention and offered to tattoo me there. No way I was passing up that opportunity. Big ups Ben, thanks again, your work is fucking banging my friend.

Any of you interested in getting a sick tattoo, hit me up and I'll put you in touch with Ben. You wont be disappointed.


Sketching up the iconic flick of Ason

When I saw that this was going to be a key skin shade I knew for sure that this was gonna come out sick.

A couple of minutes later I see this. Now we're laughing and I'm thinkin ODB is watching this from somewhere, high as fuck, and is feelin' this shit haha. Shouts to Uncle Jermaine and Maim lurking in the background.


If you've never had a portait done, this is how they begin.   

halfway - otherwise known as the Quesy smokebreak.
Ol' Dirty, captured with all his character.

Needless to say there was plenty of other cool things going on during the day, here is a few snapshots I managed to get, hopefully I will update again soon with some pics of the pinup girl competetion if I can pry the photos away from Bens cold skeletal grasp.
This is another of Ben's crackin tattoo's - done immediately before mine

Some dope pin-up girl skate decks.

This young lady was stoked to show off her brand new Teniele Napoli tattoo

Hardcore.

Graffomat!

So I'm peeping my homeboy Nemo Ones blog and I see this video chillin' there.

Now I've never seen it, it may be old, but either way, I'm dumbfounded someone went to the effort of making this.

"Install now, and if graffiti in your area doesn't increase by 100% we'll give you your money back!"

Bravo Graffomat team!!

Palms vs Palms

Adlib x Palms x Storm x Gimiks

So this was a wierd little graff game played out on a wall for all to see.

I had this dope sketch from Storm HA that I'd been meaning to rock for a while. My homie Adlib was up visiting from Adelaide and I was adamant I was gonna get him out for a paint. He decided he wanted to rock a Palms piece.
The homeboy Gimiks was free for the first time since his incredible Bitter Winds exhibition, and decided he could make it out for a paint and some beers with us.

Adlib and I decided we would have this really weird Palms vs Palms battle where we both rocked a Palms piece, but neither piece would be an actual sketch of my own.

Had a kick ass day in the sun, the ground was soup thanks to the QLD rains, but the beer was cold, and the Ironlaks were abundant.

Unfortunately we could have done with a bigger spot in the end, but all in all, no complaints.

Big Love to my homies Adlib Gimiks and Storm.

SA Great

Painted this bad boy over the Xmas & NY break on a quick trip back to my hometown of Adelaide.

The weather was scorching hot, but we managed to get an ill lineup together consisting of Muger, Roger, Vans , Toast and Stoops to blaze away in the summer sun.

I decided it was as good a time as any to flex out the ill-as-fuck sketch that my homeboy Nemo dropped for me recently.

We all seemed to go pretty big, and Muger came correct with his candy colour scheme.

I dont have a final link up yet as a couple guys hadnt finished when I left, but when I do I will update the blog.


Reasonably large


Burnt. Damn you Adelaide summer sun!

3 generations..

No names, but 3 generations of artistic excellence in the city of churches captured in one flick.

Gettin' mad drenched. flick stoled from crush city's blog.

Queensland Floods

Crazy.

I came home from my Christmas/NYE break in Adelaide to the 'Sunshine State' right into the middle of the biggest flood since 1976. Towoomba got caught in an insane flash flood that was caught in the following vid.

Brisbane City CBD is already evacuated and flooded and the worst is still yet to come.

R.I.P to those whose lives were sadly taken in this freak of nature, and massive respect to the SES volunteers risking life and limb to rescue people and property.

Impressive Shit

Even though I am a Ironlak stalwart, I have to give props where they are due.

This wall by Mad C is fucking impressive. And I mean, seriously fucking impressive

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.

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,

Ben's Station

They're called machines, not guns ;)
