True Story. Scroll down a post or two to see the exhibitions we are in over the next coupla days.
And here is another list of bullet points of jobs we have done lately -
Paul Dempsey's Ramona Was A Waitress single art
And Beesides website design
And Stone Bros. teaser poster and tshirt print design
And I made tiny tiny illustrations for a banner for Publicis Mojo for Tourism Victoria. You can see the illo on the Jacky Winter site - and animated here and also a map for the theatre district in Melbourne, which is at the end of the top row of thumbnails on that page.
And we also did the cover of the Jacky Winter Field Guide for 2009
And a poster for Two Fists One Heart
And illustrations for one of Mighty Nice's SBS2 idents
And a screen-printer poster for the Deerhunter tour.
And some new work for the shows in Brisbane - here's a sneaky peek at Sonny and Amy printing up a storm.
And a bunch of other stuff.

To the moon Alice!
To the moon!
Whilst getting all excited about this I suddenly remembered we did a third Alice-themed artwork recently and had not added it to the site. So I just did. It is here - and its a little baroque Alice on a huge mechanical rabbit hole for Tuesday Spoils, who were great to work with - they requested no changes - we llooooooove that. It was also fun to get to render out Alice elements in a completley different style to our last attempt which was the screenprints and window display at Incu last year.

This Thursday 25th June at the Zoo in Brisbane is The Outpost's 5th ever "I Used To Skate Once" show. We has gots a board in it. There is a long list of great artists who have all painted a skateboard and you can read all about it here - come along if you are in Brisbane it will be a great night. Kirin J. Callinan i playing as well as some other peoples too - very awesome.
Then the next night we are in another show in Brisabane, at Nine Lives Gallery, which is pretty aptly titled for this show which is called "Happy Endings". It is Sam Morgan, Joe-seph Allen, Max Olijnyk, and US!.... Read on...
"We’re all going to die and everyone we know is going to die, too. It’s useless to pretend otherwise, and why the long face? Death is funny haha and funny interesting, just like the rest of life. And who knows, it might be just around the corner, especially if you make it a habit of attending exhibitions in Fortitude Valley. You might get stabbed on your way home!
The amazing southern conglomerate of Joseph Allen (Izrock), Webuyourkids, Sam Morgan (Bloglips.blogspot.com) and Max Olijnyk (Note to Self) are ok with it. Are you?

Presented by Nine Lives, The Outpost, Vans and Vice Magazine."
Our work is about miracle medicine. We's gots some screen-prints, we's got some A0 photocopied eyeballs and we's go some little Gooco-ed ladies heads with stuff in em. Actually the screen-prints exist in the future as we just got the screens back and Sonny and Amy Intern-Extraodinaire are gonna print them all up thisafternoon. Cutting it fine? Yup.

Refrigerated
Goodness
A while ago our fridge broke down. It took 3 weeks to get it fixed and it turned out it was the cyclic defrost on the freezer that was the culprit. Not having a fridge sucks. Weird stuff grows on butter. But something that doesn't suck, and it fact rules quite magnificently is the magazine Cyclic Defrost. We have long been fans of not only the publication but their run of feature illustrators and designers who do the covers each issue. So how rapt were we to be asked to do the latest issue? Very rapt. There's also an article on us and a few pages of us raving about how awesome Steak Mountain and Danzig are. Can't argue with Danzig.
Also we put some oldish newish stuff up on the site - gig posters for La Chouf, Matt & Kim, The Holy Soul, Dan Webb, and the CD cover we did for him also, FBI's Bowl Lotta Love, the poster we made for our show with Greedy Hen, and also the poster we made for Tommy Dassalo's show Out At The Pictures WHICH we were lucky enough to see last weekend in Melbourne and urge you to try and catch if you are there cos he made us laugh out loud and I made some of those embarrassing piggy laugh noises too - its a really great show. Also here is a YouTube presentation of when we were in Melbourne last year texta-ing up 100cases of beer for the Nelson launch. And there is a whole bunch more we have to get up on the site but that will happen laters.

Oh
And Also
... from the Ghost of Exhibitions Past comes photos on Garry Trinh's blog showing some early pics of our Black Magic Tricks show with The Hens. Here they are! - he also managed to capture Zombiddy clearly sighing the word "gaaaaaaaaa" . Check out Garry's amazing work here, the Bonsai and Same Same series are both just amazing.
We'll post the new work we made for the Black Magic Tricks show here soon, one of these days. The images above were in it - they both feature photos of Biddy's Dad's mother's father's mother, or possibly grandmother, we get confused. 'Er name's 'Arriet.
Thanks to everyone who came to the opening - it was just bonkers. And thanks to everyone who bought work! You rule. And thanks Mark Drew! You also rule, everything around us.

Art.
We've got loads of it round the back.
Here's a couple of exhibitions of the public art variety we are honoured to be included in over the next week or so.
First up is NEW EYES OPEN at aMBUSH. That opens tonight! April 1st., 6-9PM, then shows daily until April 9, 12-4PM. aMBUSH gallery is at 4A James St , Waterloo, Sydders. The exhition is part of Semi-Permanent and has many peoples in it we think are the bats meow - like Anthony Lister, Trent Whitehead, Beastman, Ben Frost, Ainslie Fletcher, James Jirat Patradoon... and then us too.
When that finishes on April 9 you hould then go to Melbourne for the Gorker launch for Timba's Wooden Toy Hand made edition. More info here. Biddy has a picture in the exhibition. She drew it with a pencil. She possibly has some pictures in the magazine too. She drew them with a computer. It should be a great night on the corner of Gore and Kerr in Fitzroy. More info heeeeeeeeeeeere.
And then one day soon we will put up some of the many jobs and artworks we are working on at the moment, which are taking up all our time and prohibiting us from gushing poorly-typed nonsense on this here newspage.

Black Mountain
on a Wednesday night
is about the most exciting and face-destroyingly awesome thing we have seen for a while. Yes we were anticipating this with sweaty little palms. Yes they played at the Annandale and yes we have melted faces and chalky bones from their sonic magesty. And yes we went home after and watched Deep Red to celebrate, and washed it all down with duty-free bourbon. Yes yes yes yes yes.

I also love beer! Who doesn't. We couldn't have been happier when asked to make a design for a tasty new beer called Nelson. More info on it here and our pictures here.
AAAAAAAAAALSOOOOOO Nelson is the beer sponsor for our show with Greedy Hen at China Heights TOMORROW (Fri 6th) so there's a little extra incentive to come along.
