A few months ago I accompanied members of the Ironlak Family to Cairns. They were visiting North Queensland to paint at the Taste-y Graff Jam. Besides a bit of shitty weather it was a great trip, and it was nice to see Phibs and Shem from Melbourne and some Townsville heads that I hadn't seen in a moment.
Here's the video that we made of the wall the guys painted.
A couple of months ago I went along with my homies in the Ironlak Team for their Byron Bay roadtrip. At first there was no painting planned but you can't get these guys together without SOMETHING going down. So the "no pressure" wall ended up turning into what you see below.
Here's a little video we made of the weekend's activities. I'll post some extra photos from the trip at a later stage.
The Ironlak Team's Byron Bay Roadtrip. Featuring; Tues, Sofles, Sirum, Linz and Reals.
We dropped this video about a month ago but I shot all the photographs that make up the film when I was in Copenhagen one year ago.
Bates really wanted to not be a person in front of his piece, but rather have the video focussed on the graffiti side of things, keeping things anonymous like it used to be. Rather than screw around with footage, I decided to shot the whole thing in still photographs. I was really happy with how this came together, I think Sel did a great job of stitching this all together.
This promo for Reload By Ironlak came out a while ago now, but it's probably one of the favourite video projects that I've been involved with. We were stoked to have Trials and DJ Adfu create a track exclusively for this video and even happier with how the track came out. Thanks gents.

Yet another one shot in Europe last year. This time Storm(Heavy Artillery) from Copenhagen jumped in our car and joined us for the Scandinavian leg of our journey. We stopped off along the way so that he could bang out a quick piece in Sweden. Take note of the sleeping arrangements in the car. That's how we roll!
Created as a 40 second teaser video for Ironlak's new 600ml Reload cans, I was super stoked with how this video came out and also how well it went virally. It got something like 6000 views in just a few days, which is absolutely crazy. We're working on a four minute follow up video at the moment, which comes out next week. Stay tuned, yo.
Another video filmed when I was in Europe mid last year. This time with all round nice guy; Does of the LoveLetters crew from Holland. On this day we travelled to Belgium where a hall of fame is that Does and Nash hold-down across the border.
I headed down to Melbourne late last year (October 2009) along with various members of the Ironlak Fam for the Clash Of The Titans event that Revok was putting together. Unfortunately the event got cancelled at the last minute, so the peeps that were in town got together to bang out a wall, and, of course we made a video. It ended up being a really cool few days with a few nice surprise visits from Merda, Spice, Trem (Lyrical Commission) and Jase (Beathedz), amoungst others.
I've been spending more time working on video projects for Ironlak lately. To start (almost) at the beginning; here's one that I filmed in Milano, Italia with Mr. Wany of Heavy Artillery crew in June 2009.
