TUES + FRIDAY ARVO BEERS + IRONLAK NON-LEAKING VALVES

2008-11-10T22:13:00.000-08:00

Oh shit! This is the minute we've been waiting for. Tues (Ironlak Team Australia) got out and about on Friday arvo to rock a quick piece with the new paint. Below are some random photographs from the day.

Here's what Tues had to say after testing the new, new, new batch (with the pink stickers):

"The guys nailed it this time! Brighter, smoother, better pressure, higher coverage, longer lasting pigments, it's all there for the taking..." - Tues.

Ironlak x Faith City Rockers 10th Anniversary Battle

2008-11-10T11:26:00.001-08:00

Phat1, Diva and Dyle52 organised a graffiti battle at their church as part of the Faith City Rockers 10th anniversary celebrations. It took place this Saturday just gone and you couldn't have asked for a better day weather wise! The standard was incredible and personally I would have hated to have been one of the judges. Berst from GBAK took out 1st place, Curve NSP 2nd and Has GBAK 3rd. Congrats boys! Well deserved!

Here's some of the action shots I took on the day and also check over here on Rimoni's site to see more shots of the B-Boys and finished works.

The new bounty has arrived. (Australia.)

2008-10-27T20:24:00.000-07:00

Our latest shipment of paint has arrived so you'll soon be seeing a whole bunch of pink stickers in stores. We were stoked to see our office paint rack starting to fill up again.

66 colours with the new valves are shipping out to Australian stores asap. Unlike the first five colours to come with the pink stickers (Smoulder, Swamp, Isla Rose, Fantasia & Nitro), which just had a fixed valve, these new 60+ colours are the result of a bunch of new tweaking that we have done to improve our product. We've tested a bunch of cans from the new shipment and it's time to get excited people, these are the ducks nuts!

But don't just take our word for it, get to a store near you and look for the pink stickers.

Included in this new shipment are nine brand spanking NEW (aka never before released!) colours. See below for details. These will be available within the next week.

BCF Calender.

2008-10-27T19:04:00.000-07:00

Augor MSK - Ad Buster video

2008-10-23T18:34:00.000-07:00

Ironlak USA writer Augor features in the below video about painting billboards in Los Angeles.

Illegal billboards serve as giant canvases for Southern California’s graffiti artists. Too Tall Jahmal, founder of 50mmlosangeles.com, a web-site dedicated to promoting global graffiti culture, says graffiti art can be a political statement. Augor, an artist profiled in the video, calls himself a “billboard liberation artist,” because much of his work involves painting over giant, pop culture billboards. But Augor’s creations are illegal and he’s forced to conceal his identity.

Check out the video to see why graffiti writers - like Augor - will climb to death defying heights, in the dark, and break the law in the name of artistic expression.

FIVE NEW COLOURS ARE HERE...

2008-10-02T01:58:00.000-07:00

We've been in our lab working on new colours and correcting some of the flaws with the current (Rhodium) product.

We are pleased to present five brand new Ironlak colours;

These are the first five colours to be shipped with our new non-leaking valve, look for the below sticker as an indication that you have got the goods. We've tested hundreds of cans from this new batch and not found a single leaker, so rest assured that when you see this sticker, the seal is tight, and you'll be armed with everything you need to make the wall look fresh!

Since we've developed the above valve we've really been focussing on fine tuning the smaller details with our aerosols to deliver a product that is as close to perfect as you can get. Keep your eyes our blog to learn what we are tweaking and when the new shit will drop.

In the meantime, get to a store and peep the new colours with the new valve, we know you'll be impressed.

And, thanks to all the writers that have supported us throughout all the valve issues. We'll continue to support the community that supports us.

-Ironlak Fam.

Askew x Phat1 Exclusive Ironlak wall

2008-09-08T14:02:00.000-07:00

Finally getting around to putting some posts on here! I think I had some sort of stage fright, because I want to ensure what I put up is of some difference and interest for you, so keep checking as I delve deep behind the scenes of the NZ writing scene and bring you some fresh content!

To start off here is a wall Phatty Boomstix and I dropped back in June for an exclusive ad in 'The Peeps' Magazine, a good quality street zine put out in Auckland by Dnok. If you can get your hands on it, it's well worth it.
