Red Bull Wreckers YardTuesday, June 7th, 2011Red Bull has always been an avid supporter of the graffiti and hip-hop culture, and it doesn’t look like they are stopping. When a brand supports a scene for so long and puts on events that showcase true talent, it always puts a smile on our face. Wreckers Yard is just that. An event dedicated to showcasing graffiti artists. And when we say “graffiti artists”, we mean it. They haven’t picked only street artists and coated them with the “graffiti” name (like alot of brands do), they’ve chosen carefully.
“Red Bull Wreckers Yard, is a Trans-Tasman graff competition. There are seven qualifier rounds in Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Sydney, Auckland and Wellington. In each city 8 of the local graff artists battle it out in a round robin live painting comp where they’re given a theme to paint one minute before the clock starts. The winners from all seven cities will be flown to Melbourne for the Trans Tasman final on June 25th @ The Evelyn Hotel.” Melbourne artists were Barnacle B, Prizm, Jorrz, Makatron, Dvate, Prozac, Shida. Itch won the Melbourne battle. BRISBANE SYDNEY MELBOURNE – TRANS TASMAN FINAL!
Above in BrisbaneMonday, January 24th, 2011“I just returned this morning from being in the flood ravished city of Brisbane, Australia. With the international attention around the floods I decided to immediately fly from Sydney to Brisbane to make this site specific stencil. Unfortunately I had another stencil that Friday night I got arrested for right in the middle of painting! oughf! I spent 10 hours in jail, had a court appearance and got a decent fine so this piece is the only 1 I can submit and offer for you. I tried my best not to make fun at this drastic and horrific situation but instead to empathize and portray just how serious and large the scale of these floods had been with the relative depiction of “NOAH’s” ark being sunk due to the floods.” More on Above here.
