I recently went back to ibiza for the closing parties where I managed to shoot this on my iphone. Sadly I left the camera and the flip video back at my room.

Most people think it's the Spiderman character they should be watching. Trust me it's not!

Enjoy and share!

Assisted the latest shoot for British Clothing label Addict.

There was plenty of talent present as creative director Christopher Carden-Jones took the healm, by his side was none other than sneaker maestro Chris Law, Shogun and of course in front of the camera Defikew from Part Time Heroes

The shoot showcases some of the key pieces from the AW collection, which included winter jackets and some really nice cut and sew garms.

Umbro x Monorex

2010-09-21T08:03:00.000-07:00

This was a while ago, but the secrecy surrounding this project is no more, so I'm able to blog shots of the job with Stika and Alfa. We spent 3 days up in Liverpool painting this.

This latest Umbro Campaign sees them going back to grass roots football, contributing X amount of cash to struggling football clubs, to invest back into themselves. This particular club was responsible for making Steven Gerard the footballer he is today.

Watch out for a load more Umbro murals as Monorex carry on travelling the country

I've been kept busy recently putting together interviews with some of the finest design talent in the country today. I've been interviewing the latest Guest Artists for Addict Clothings latest Autumn/Winter collection. They include Disco Teck, Alfa, Jimi Crayon and Shogun. Sadly I wasn't in a position to take any shots of the guys, however watch out for video interviews put together by yours truly and the guys from Stitch that!

As well as being one of the most talented designers out there, he also makes a wicked cup of tea!!

Munich - Edding x Secret Wars x Head

2010-02-13T12:46:00.000-08:00

3 Days x 3 Artists x 1 City

These pics were taken at ISPO in Munich. A project involving Head Snowboards, Edding Pens and Secret Wars. Alfa, Hicks 54 and Disco Teck customised both boots and boards over the 3 days. ISPO was the biggest extreme sports trade show. Basically Bread & Butter for adrenaline junkies!

The artists pulled out all the stops making sure the crowds stopped and paid attention. Definitely one of the best things to happen at the show

New York Baby!!

2010-01-26T11:06:00.000-08:00

The trip to New York with Monorex was one of the best ever. Highlights were checking out Mishka's HQ (a good bunch of guys, mad into their toys, has to be seen to be believed) Meeting 'The KDU', dropping in on Tristan Eaton, hooking up with Colossal and of course the pancakes drowned in syrup every morning.

The night Fone Jacker came to Secret Wars

2009-12-20T05:05:00.000-08:00

Everyone knew Channel 4 would be filming at the next London Secret Wars event, but nobody knew what they were filming 4. Some guessed it'd be an arts and culture documentary, but none imagined it would be comedy sketch show Fone Jacker!

The star of the show is currently filming a new comedy series, where instead of calling up his victims, he takes on a number of different characters. At Secret Wars, he was Brian, a world famous artist and critic.

The show should air in february, so keep your eyes peeled for it if you were there

It was party time a couple of nights ago at a friends warehouse. The space was amazing and the DJ line up was up there with some of the biggest club nights. Not bad considering they were playing out next to the kitchen.

It was a definate lesson for everyone on 'How to throw a party'

Nissan Cube Car Launch

2009-11-26T07:30:00.000-08:00

I found myself taking pics at the recent Nissan Cube car launch party at the Boiler House, Truman Brewery. The space was designed and put together by french outfit Colette.

Secret Wars were on hand as live entertainment with an exhibition battle between Mr Hicks and Teck. Reeps One was the extra bonus on the night, doing what he does best, making noises with his voice box.

The Cube car is being pushed as a piece of art, a sculpture, I guess in the hope to appeal to 'us' the next car buying generation. Love it or hate it, The Cube is set to be a feature on British roads.

Secret Wars London Qualifier Heat 1

2009-11-22T04:55:00.000-08:00

The euro league is set for 2010, a new exciting project for Secret Wars, which will see every city around the world put together a team to form a champions league style league.

The London team already consists of heavy weights Teck 1, Alfa and Mr K. The next two heats will act as a decider for the next three artists. The bar has been set and it's bloody high, but there's a lot of talent out there. As you can see...

Lets get pumped

2009-11-20T06:33:00.001-08:00

The pump celebrated its 20th Birthday in serious style at the Reebok Lounge. There were parties in every major city to help celebrate the bench mark shoe. The alcohol was flowing, the celebs were out in force and the A/C was knackered. Making this one HOT partaaaay!

Secret Wars win the Lloyds A&B Innovation award at the Arts & Business Ceremony

2009-11-13T04:28:00.000-08:00

It's been ruuning for 3 years and last night Secret Wars got the recognition it deserved, which is set to propel the brand globally.

Similar to 'Slumdog Millionaire' many didn't expect Edding and Secret Wars to walk away with the prize because of the other nominees. Money wise, there was a huge difference. These were multi-million if not billion pound organizations, which included BP, Shell, The British Museum...

Shortlisted for 3, Secret Wars got the last one and huge praise from all those that attended.

Congratulations Edding and Monorex....BOYAAAA!

My mates mum is on my tee!!

2009-11-09T09:31:00.000-08:00

A true story - I'd bought a Supreme tee with the print below on it. Didn't know much about it, just thought it looked cool. It wasn't until I started wearing it at work, my friend and colleague thought the lady pictured in it looked familiar.

Later on that day her boyfriend came to visit and she asked him to look at the tee. He focused in and within seconds started turning a light shade of red - "That's my mum!"

I was amazed and shocked. How did my mates mum get on my tee? Will the image was taken from a huge portfolio of work by 60s pin-up icon Margaret Nolan who's best known for being the golden painted lady in the James Bond movie 'GoldFinger'

Today, she's known for something completely different, an artist, specializing in photomontages. Her preview show begins on Wednesday 11th November.

Be sure to stop by

Rolling with the Punches

2009-11-09T06:03:00.000-08:00

A good friend and even better artist Josh Sutterby will be displaying a new collection of work on December 3rd at The Print House Gallery.

The show titled 'Rolling with the Punches' explores emotions derived from darkness and violence with Josh's trademark tattoo style. A great way to begin the festive season. I urge all those out there to try and make the opening. If you're not around, the show will be running until 10th January 2010 giving you all a bit of time to pass by and show your support.

Secret Wars x Offset

2009-11-08T08:47:00.000-08:00

Another return trip to Dublin proved to be better then the last. I love this place and I think it loves me back. I hope it does, I don't think I could handle not getting the same love and emotion back.

Anyway, Secret wars hosted a special battle between the Irish artists, led by Dan leo and some of the guest speakers from Offset, which included artists from Debut Arts as well as The London Police.

Reeps 1 smashed at the Bernard Shaw and followed it up at the Twisted Pepper as a warm up for DJ Sinden.

Another succesful trip, a Big Thanks and Shout Out to Andy for looking after us and being a great host - see you soon Dublin!

Halloween @ Vibe Bar + Urban Nerds @ The Macbeath

2009-11-03T05:45:00.000-08:00

Is it just me or are people going to more effort to scare this Halloween? I can't remember people going to so much trouble. Angels costume shop near Covent Garden had a 1 in 1 out que for the last three days leading up to Halloween!!

Anyway enough of that, I celebrating (is that right? Do we celebrate Halloween?) at Vibe Bar. There were some great outfits and a lot of time and work went into the art work on display. One being the photo backdrop, designed and painted by Alfa. After Vibe it was off to the Urban Nerds party at The Macbeth.

Good vibes, Good people, Great night

Book Club x Secret Wars Event

2009-10-27T06:56:00.001-07:00

Secret Wars has a new London Home in the form of the brand new venue 'The Book Club'. Situated next to the Pure Evil gallery on Leonard Street, this is set to be an exciting partnership. Dedicated to supporting the arts and creating a central creative hub, The Book Club have a number of facilities available, including a secluded screening room, a number of projectors and a ping-pong table!! What more could you ask for?

Look out for a number of exciting projects including a Jaysus x Secret Wars Photo Exhibition TBC.

The pics below are from our first SW event there, which saw Mr Gauky battle against Alfa with support from Reeps 1 and a load of SW DJ's made this a great launch and paved the way for a brand new SW series!

School Wars Project

2009-10-22T01:26:00.000-07:00

I've been working on an exciting project for Schhol Wars. 16 schools from around the country will travel to London in a huge tournament hosted at the impressive Village Underground. Pupils from each school, will be captained by one of the Monorex artists and shown exactly what it takes to reign supreme.

A lot of thought and dedication has gone into this. Fresh fruit, healthy Pizza's courtesy of Pizza Express means even Jamie Oliver would approve of the event. Sponsored by Ubisoft, the games developer and in conjunction with the latest release of the Teenage Mutant Turtles Games, schools will battle it out, not only for glory, or a new bespoke Secret Wars x Edding pen trophy, but each winning kid gets to go home with a brand new Nintendo Wii!! Makes you want to be a kid again.

After all's done, dusted and tidy, there will be an after party held at the Reebok Lounge with free drink, food and plenty of music.

Check back for pics on how the event went down

Mase in your Face BITCH!!

2009-09-06T09:11:00.000-07:00

Not sure what the guy did, but I witnessed first hand this police officer giving this man a beating, whilst he was sat down. Why was he sat down? Well, he surrendered after being chased down, perched himself on a seat with his hands up, only to be hit twice and sprayed in the face with mase!

Everyone around was screaming for the officer to stop.

Clearly this poiliceman was bullied as a child.

Who said our Police Force was a push over?

R.I.P

A bit late with this one, but MJ was finally put to rest in a gold plated coffin. Despite his burial, there's still months if not years of revelations and shocking truths yet to be discovered and written in the tabloids.

Hopeully there's an album or two waiting to be discovered too. Lets just hope it's not a poor album that's destined for success because of his death.

Schamoan!!

2009-08-23T15:10:00.000-07:00

Everyone turned out to celebrate Monorex's 5th birthday at the Village Underground. With a load of surprises, a ton of cup cakes and a variety of tunes courtesy of Klose 1 and DJ session (to name but a few) it was certain to be a great party.

Happy Birthday Monorex....see you at your 10th birthday bash

Artist Teck 1 was charged with the task to deal with my website design. Here's part of it!! He's definitely out done himself. It's practically identical to me, except the unusally, un-noticable bulge in the nappy area. Apart from some needed shadowing and size increasing, it's perfect.

Have a look at the rest of his work here!

A bit of friendly competition involving stickers. A friend of mine put his well-known label on a curvy-cuban ass. So here's my offering. If this were a game of chess, I'd say this was check-mate. I await his next move....

Without sounding like an absolute car perv, I watched the owner of this beauty spend at least an hour waxing and polishing his car, only to have two little kids put their grubby little mits all over it, whilst their mother took snaps of them.

I would have paid some serious money to have the guy come back whilst they were leant up against it.

Myself and Captain Bukioe of The Undergrowth gave a School Wars workshop at the K2 festival in Southampton's Hoglands Park. Supported by Edding pens and run in conjunction with the Soco Music project, Bukioe introduced the kids ranging from ages 6-16 to Secret Wars and gave them the opportunity to draw out a battle piece.

With the use of sketch books to help inspire and a demonstration on the white board, the project proved a success as groups of kids showed a huge interest. Some wanting to get stuck into the Secret Wars battles. Maybe in a few more years.

If you know of any schools or workshops that would be interested in having School Wars brought to them then email studio@secretwars.co.uk for more info

Secret Wars Dublin

2009-07-28T14:07:00.001-07:00

Out of all the trips I've been on with Secret Wars, this was by far one of the best. This was all thanks to a great Irish team, Andy, Dan Leo and Fiona put together a schedule that was rammed with interviews, parties and shoots. But every second was enjoyable, which all led up to the mother of parties as Secret Wars attracted a huge crowd.

The Venue, 'The Bernard Shaw' hadn't seen a que like the one for Secret Wars since, well, ever!! Kodaz, Mr Gauky and Reeps took Dublin by storm and did London proud! HOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN!!!!!!

In total I had over 1000 shots on camera, but selected the following images to help show our visit. Please check out the Secret Wars website to view more and read up exactly how well the night went.

Shots of the aftermath and hot tub party are of course banned, but might see the light of day in a few years.

Enjoy
