Is the pay packet half empty or half full?

Left over photos from summer, prior to the temperature getting too hot to go outside and half the state burning down



Anyone need a gardener?


Turn's out he is really good at laying bricks too. I payed Mavie to fix the fence that I destroyed whilst trying to jump start my bike a few months ago. Turns out smashing it into a wall doesn't really help to get the engine running. Who knew? He did an amazing job and saved me a fortune AND to top it all off got really sun burnt because his head is so big that Tshirts don't fit over it anymore.


Swedish bikie gangs are no where near as intimidating as our ones


We went to the zoo. First time I've been there since i was a kid.




100+ year old turtles.... not the blonde one though


When we were in the aviary 2 birds swooped Helen, then later this guy jumped off the fence at her. They just let him wander around trying to hook up with girls all day.




I didn't get to see the seals which was the main reason I went. Thats because they are building them a new enclosure which, for some reason, has a huge Oregon style skate park in it?


Poppy's babushka's in Scotty's nutcracker


Mixa and Benny at their dress up party. Benny is the angry neighbour. I forgot what Mixa was meant to be but he looks pretty special in the pink shirt.


Mixa's new pad rules. Palm trees and a mini ramp. I didn't even bother going inside


New Year's Eve


Silent Yeff got a pigeon in his pit, then Nikeem laughed a little bit while Emilie tried to lick her.....?



I showed this photo of Scotty trying to get into Keifer Sutherland's sleeping position in The Lostboys, to Nikeem and he asked me how the hell he got up there.


This photo of the Nick Kilderry pro model step ladder seemed to clear things up for him though.


James bought this white sauce from Japan to Cam's BBQ. It's either gayonaise or brogurt, I cant remember which.


I drew up this dogtown tribute logo for him to get tattooed, he wasn't too interested though.


What's uff?
















Hunter S. Gourlay





Some one was having a shocker








Due to her Viking heritage, Helen is awesome at rowing


Jo freaked out when she found this little lizard so I took care of him. Not in the Mafia way, just in the take him outside and put him out of reach of the cat way.




Beard-o-rama sneak preview


Cheese's birthday at Yellowbird. He bought a huge round of Tip Rats costing about $160 then tried to pick them all up at once and surprisingly dropped a few...along with his pants


The pants dropping was contagious


James is immune though.

Angie sent me these photos of the Stussy store in Chadstone, the fashion capital. These are Tshirts that I designed for them in their own display. Weird. They're retailling for $100 each. Weirder. Economic crisis be damned. Oh speaking of which I got half retrenched so if any one needs some freelance illustration done I'll have lots of spare time to it. Seriously I'm your guy. Please...

Its been a while

Since my last up date I've moved house, been to hospital, had my first ever yard sale, booked a plane ticket to North America and seen Helen off to Sweden. Here's some pictures of the early part of summer.

Dad is one of those people who has a real shed (please note the remote control glider and hover craft. We never had this kind of stuff when i was a kid)


and for some reason with in that shed he has a vibrosaun. I have no idea what a vibrosaun is but it looked like the lid of it would be excellent for trapping people in a bath.... if that's what you're into.


The Dangerfield christmas party was its usual awesome self.
I got busted being bad by my boss and Brado (inventor of the holiday letterbox - it involves installing a paper shredder to your fence) got busted being awesome


The funky deck bolt got funky


So did Helen


The cool kid in the flannel and the Thrasher shirt below is Luke and Colleen's little fella. I'm an idiot which means I've forgotten his name. I'll probably be the angry old dude at the skate park telling him to piss off in a few years. I hope not.


Mafyew Wyweeeeeeeeeeeee got married to Anita. Pretty awesome wedding, although Nikeem was very disappointed that, due to weather issues, it was not held at the dolphin fountain as was originally planned. Anything that neglects the use of dolphins usually disappoints Nick.


Risky business photo shoot at Yellow Bird on the way to the wedding reception.


Something funny occurred at the reception, and, like usual, these two enjoyed the fuck out of it


Apparently Ben Michel told Matt he'd wear all white to the wedding when he was wasted one night. I'm pretty stoked that he kept his word.


Sarah, the puppet master, is having a marionette game of mortal combat against Niddy.
Niddy's marionette is using it's invisiblity power, while Sarah's marionette tries to confuse the opposition by using aggressive freestyle and popping/locking. Anita is in the back ground celebrating her earlier victory.


Kai with my board and a sweet hat/shirt combo. He's only about 5 and he's already twice as cool as most of our friends


Al is trying to stay in fashion so he got some new jeans


Unfortunately Silent Yeff went back to Canadia. I miss that $3 Aldi wine


Along with Yeff these three also moved away. End of an era. The house had bad carpet but definate good times, especially Nikeem, Scotty and me commentating CSI Miami.


I sold most of the stuff that I've been lugging around for the last 15 years for $300. It felt weird.
