Mind = blown.

Much thanks to Luca for getting Niels Shoe Meulman to sign a copy of his book for me. Visit: http://www.calligraffiti.nl

Jon, Pip, Chris and Damien.

On the stage.

Our biggest crowd yet.

The Q&A session went on until night fell.

As usual we reserved a couple of tables, and had a bar tab running at Grasshopper for drinks and nibbles post event.

Last night saw our next instalment of Infront Presents at the Apple Store in Sydney – A Students Guide To Working In The Creative Industry. My INfront partner Damien moderated a panel discussion with Pip from The Loop, Jon from Tractor/ Mentally Friendly and Chris from Interbrand.

The chairs and panel discussion concept made for an awesome format. More relaxed, natural and fun than having speakers present a standing hour talk. We’re so glad Apple invited us back this year. More photos here. Keep an eye out for future Infront/Apple events on Australian INfront: http://www.australianinfront.com.au

School kids pose!

Dan’s fresh new Tatt (he has quite the collection!).

Atsuko, Nanami’s faithful sidekick. :)

I got to briefly meet Dan, who runs Kind of Gallery a few weeks ago at the Upside Down Type show. Last Saturday night I got to hang out with the guy. Not only does he run a gallery, he’s a skater and rider too so we had a lot in common. At the show he mentioned that they were going to get kicked out of their Oxford St. premises. That was the topic of the night, it’s all sad news and I wish them all the best with finding another venue.

Their final group show will be on this Wednesday night. It’s going to be a huge one. Check the Kind of Gallery site for more info.

Headed out Wednesday night to check out Neils ‘Shoe’ Meulman’s Upside Down Show at Kind Of Gallery. Unfortunately I’d forgotten to bring my memory card which rendered my camera useless! So annoyed. His work is amazing so if you’re in Sydney, go check it out. Thanks to Luca I got this photo of the great man. Visit: http://www.nielsshoemeulman.com

LELO TOR II.

Part of the perks of running Sex in Art. I got this LELO product in the mail. It’s a classy him/her thing, interesting! The packaging is so quality that it feels like opening a Louis Vuitton product. I’m guessing I’m meant to review it… anyone want to try it out with me? (BAHAHA).

For more info, visit LELO.

Unfinished octopus piece on the left easel is so mine. I love it (lots).

Even her sketch pad is inspirational.

Fishies!

Bullshit right? All done with archival ink pens. Detail is insane.

Without saying too much: Nanami’s been doing a bit of work for Smirnoff lately and when Smirnoff’s digital team called for a meeting to discuss a social media strategy she asked me to sit in on the meeting as Nana’s not at all into anything web (Facebook, what’s that?). The Smirnoff team were there to shoot images of her studio so I thought I’d sneak a few in too, enjoy :)

PS: More of her work on her site: http://www.nthread.net/

Mr. Layugan (pronounced like the Street Fighter character Ryu’s famous ‘Hadouken!’).

Epic catchups with my brother from another mother (BFAM!) Christian Layugan the other night. He’s been living it up pimp stylez in Miami for a few years now, but he’s one of those mates where the last time we hooked up just feels like yesterday.

Logo design for a couple of rad DJ’s. More soon!
