‘BOARD’ Exhibition- Live Painting at NGV Studio Gallery

SEARious Jones — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:54:54 +0000

As part of the Board exhibition on at the NGV Studio gallery space at Fed Square, I was asked by the good folk at Just Another Agency to paint a couple skateboards in house for 3 days with font designer Leisha Muraki in Jan..All boards by JAA artists are for sale and proceeds go towards the Three Sixty Project- you can check out (up close) and buy boards here: http://www.justanotheragency.com.au/shop

About the THREE SIXTY PROJECT:

The name 360 Project was chosen to represent this concept. Our first goal is to supply 360 skateboards worldwide, but the name also represents the cycle process of everyday people making a difference through the design or purchase of skateboards, either for art or to ride (the decks are 100% hard rock maple, manufactured to international standards). Lastly, and most importantly, 360 degrees represents the impact we aim to have on a global scale. There is no country or region we cannot reach – no teenager or young adult who cannot access a 360 Project skateboard.

All profits made by 360 Project are put towards manufacturing more skateboards and supplying additional products such as wheels, trucks and bearings, and the Programs that receive our decks are documented on the 360 Project website for people to see the impact of their generosity.

Ladies Lounge Exhibition, Freemantle WA 2012

SEARious Jones — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:34:37 +0000

POISE, BANANAS (WA), ISHK (SA), JOSKE, ISIS and SEAR (VIC)

So after the success of Melbourne and Adelaide’s ‘With A Little Help from My Friends’ exhibitions, I decided it was time to get my butt over to Perth, to visit old mates and give them a SEARious taste. Ladies Lounge was a crew group show organised by the one and only Ladie Poise, Shime and Lady Bananas who reside on the wild west coast. After some debacle with the gallery owner..(gallery will NOT be mentioned as I cant stand the guy who ‘runs’ it and he deserves nothing but possibly a punch to the groin!)..we had an amazing turnout and fun was had by all in true HKC styles. Punters got a taste of how the ladies run things and a few bargains to boot! Big thanks to POISE and PORE for accomodation,early airport runs and antics, to big SHIME and Montys Auto Colour for paint and sorting the space and shout outs to Bananas and my old mate Heidi for coming up north to visit and sink drinks! Love you all and will be back in April for more westside funtics!

RIP to the Subway Queen LOTUS

SEARious Jones — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 02:52:02 +0000

Recently I heard the sudden and tragic news that my friend and graff legend- the subway queen, Bianca LOTUS aka MUFINS had passed unexpectedly. As one does at these sad times, I felt useless to help her family and friends and wanted to pay my respects in some way and say my goodbyes in the only way I knew how. After some correspondence with her Sydney crew and life long friend THORN, i felt obliged, out of mad respect, to take part in a LOTUS memorial gig and fundraising night (all monies raised went to Bianca’s family) and was honoured to paint a tribute wall in Glebe with SEKT, THORN, and JOSKE. Rest in Piece.
