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.
