Matt just spotted me on this year’s Sydney Design 2011 web site. The photo was taken during the 2 day See-saw project I mentored last year.

We’re almost 2 months into the INfront re-brand and today we finally got to see some visual concepts. Zann wasn’t in Sydney this time but he was on Skype. Ivana‘s done a great job, conceptually it’s brilliant and we’re all pretty excited with the general direction. Can’t wait to reveal the new brand!
Back in black.
An executive decision has been made, and the new Bikes Move Us jersey design is now BLACK. Price is $77AUD. If you’re after one, put your name down on the list here.
Andrew, Christina and I rolled out of bed late and hit Atomica on Brunswick.
I had the El Gringo Eggs, what you can’t see buried under all that badass goodness was a huge smoked potato rosti, so so so good.
Spotted on Brunswick. About as cool as a postie bike can get.
We headed to my hotel for lunch with Jeremy as well as Toby and Pete.
Jeremy smashed (skulled!) 2 coffee’s in a row.
Jeremy’s electronic cigarette.
Lightning bolt straw. Many more beers than intended were consumed. Was just so nice up on the roof top, time flew by.
Psycho bike spotted on the way back to the apartments.
I’ve got a thing for macarons now, can’t resist them.
Later that night we checked out Naked For Satan.
The interior and graphic design is whack. Love it.
Loved their food concept too. An honesty based system where you just keep your toothpicks and pay $2/toothpick at the end of the night.
Despite the absolutely freezing cold, we had a great time in Melbourne. I’m crazy tired, and I feel very dehydrated from all the beer (and lack of water!), also bloated from all the fantastic food. No stopping though. Steve’s B’day dinner at Rengaya in 20 minutes, time to jet!
INfront put us up at the Tyrian serviced apartments on Johnston St. in Fitzroy, right in the middle of all the action, only a short walk away from The Compound Interest too.
The apartments were very nice, very new.
We headed down to The Compound Interest to start setting up the exhibit. I stopped in my tracks when I saw this outside.
1973 Honda CB350 Twin. What a beauty.
Modern Motor Cycle Company operates from The Compound Interest.
More bikes inside.
Myself and Damien. After I was done gawking at the bikes, we got started setting up.
The “woman” posters we had pinned up around Melbourne thanks to many helping hands.
Sonny from We Buy Your Kids, Zann and Damien setting up the prints.
Sonny, Biddy and Andrew did an awesome job with laying out the top 20 on show.
Jeremy’s pup!
The sponsors who helped to make our show happen.
Tiger Beer were our beers sponsors!
We were so busy setting up we skipped lunch, at 2.30PM Lorena saved us all with some awesome toasted sandwiches from CIBI next door.
Next thing we knew it was 6PM and on the dot people started rocking up to check out the show.
We were lucky to have Simon Winkler from RRR busting out great tunes for the night.
Our bar guy Menake had a mad rush from 6-7PM.
We were all happy with the great turnout, it was a huge space to fill!
Unfortunately at 7PM all the beer had run out!
At 8PM we called it a night and hot a local pub.
Damien, Alicia and Lorena.
Pie + peas + mash. Absolutely smashed it.
Andrew from Kindred was our room mate, great guy to hang out with for sure.
Yes it’s been said before, Melbourne Graff kicks Sydney graff, hard.
Meet Ooga Booga, Damien and Lorena‘s gorgeous new baby girl.
Ivana playing with Ooga Booga, she’s so tiny!
Australian INfront re-brand meeting today, was awesome. Crazy in depth, massive progress. Can’t wait to see what our brand might look like in the next session!
A massive 252 entries (which I’ll be judging for the next few hours!), all inspired by the word “WOMAN”. Now live on INfront. Visit: www.australianinfront.com.au/involved/vr/visual-response-05-woman/gallery
The boys at JDMyard have just received a batch of new T’s. Tooting my own horn, but I love wearing my own designs on my chest. :) $25 pick up, $33 shipped. Visit: http://www.jdmyard.com
Just a subtle alternative to the round logo symbol stickers we sell. Available in the VWG shop soon.
