Monorex 9th Birthday - Secret Walls - London Vs Czech Republic

This year Monorex celebrated it's 9th birthday with a celebration spanning 3 days of events.

Known as a global creative network/design agency specialising in bespoke projects working with upcoming and well known artists from various backgrounds, Monorex kicked the launch off with a Secret Walls live art battle held at the Arches in Hoxton.

Myself and 2 other artists (Obit & Michael Driver) were chosen to represent London in a 3 on 3 battle against the Czech Republic team and it went off in style. Massive congrats the the Czech guys who took the win on the night, it was a ton of fun.

All the official shots from the night can be found HERE.

Smiley Commission

A friend of mine asked me to create a one off piece as a birthday present for his brother celebrating his recent travels and adventures snowboarding in New Zealand. His nickname has been Smiley for a long time so the inclusion of smiley faces were obvious.

Being a New Zealander myself I took a lot of pride in this one and wanted to put some time in with the details adding little nods here and there. Both him and his brother were really happy with the final result.

PostLiving Coasters

Recently I was asked to create a set of coaster designs for PostLiving who are a company working with artists to produce individual graphic pieces of furniture and other items for the home.

Other designs are also available by Si Mitchell, Tom Joyce, Boaster and the ever popular Pete Fowler.

The coasters are due to be released in a couple of weeks time but here's what you can expect to be putting your drinks on in the very near future...

Umbro X Footlocker Secret Walls

These are some shots from last weeks event at The Book Club in Shoreditch. Myself and 3 other artists were chosen as part of a competition to take part in a 90 minute live art battle for the semi-finals of the Umbro and Footlocker sponsored Secret Walls night, mentored and assisted by some of the more well known Secret Walls artists Riff, Alfa, Conzo and McBess.

Myself and Riff took on Ewa Mos and McBess with them taking the win on the night. On the other side of the room Dyox and Conzo went up against Georgia Hill and Alfa with Dyox taking the win.

The night was a massive success being hosted by Reeps One and Lethal Bizzle, the other artists were all great guys and I highly recommend checking out their work!

Secret Walls X Umbro X Footlocker

This is my entry for the Secret Walls X Umbro X Footlocker competition 'TANGLE'.

'The four finest artists who enter the contest will receiving special mentoring from RIFF, ALPHA, Conzo or McBess before taking part in a special live art battle in London later this month hosted by none other than Lethal Bizzle. The two winners of this event will then go head to head in a final competition to find out who is the most talented street artist around.'

Fingers crossed!
