I’ve been wanting to learn how to paint for such a long time, and was wondering about the entire process that certain artists would go through. I remember coaxing Michael Latimer sometime ago into perhaps conjuring up some kind of tutorial for us newbies, and fast forward a couple of months later and he’s actually done it! And even better, it’s not just a patched up job, but a rather detailed, precise and very informative tutorial. I had huge fun reading through it and can’t wait to try it out on my own, as soon as I get my own Steadtler Mars Technico Clutch pencils.
Yep, another great artist covered, and also a tee shirt review is coming up. Add a special interview and a couple of giveaway prizes [vinyl toys, custom tees, 2 rare limited edition artist books & stickers] to that and I would say that it’s going to be quite a busy next couple of weeks over here at F’kn Mayhem! Stay tuned, and get your RSS feeds ready!

Congrats to Gav at Jam Factory for the launching of his vinyl droplets. The end product just looks awesome, and there’s already tons of mods done, as displayed in the video, from some of the most famous and upcoming street artists around. I’m getting me one of these, if they are still available, that is… The launch shipment has completely sold out! When’s the new batch arriving, Gav?
I’ve been having problems with my ISP, and after speaking to different levels of subordinates in the company, I finally got this one bloke who happened to be the supervisor’s manager’s manager, and I told him that my father is the chief editor in Star Editorials [a lie, my dad's retired], and that I’m going to the press on the poor quality of service from them. It’s lame and I hate throwing power around, but suffice to say, it worked like a charm. I’m back online now, with speeds fit for a king. I’m pretty sure it’s temporary as they probably gave me a port that is reserved for Government officials or VIP’s that happened to move to this area… Or son’s of the chief editor of a daily editorial, for that matter! Anyway, screw that, let’s move on to more interesting things, like this video by Blu.
Amazing! I’ve been waiting for this with lots of anticipation for months now, he’s been dropping sweet previews over at his site, and I gotta say the completed work is just breath-taking.
Yep, still having issues with my blasted ISP, and as a result I can’t update this site as often as it should be updated. There’s been an unexpected level of support and inquiries as to why this site has not been updated for so long, and I’d like to extend my sincere thanks to all of you guys. There’s also been tons of submissions of artworks, events and images that I am wanting to update but because of my current internetless situation, it can’t be done at this period of time. I think I’m close to sorting it out with the ISP, but with those guys, you just never know.
As a result, I’ve been reviewing the code, the layout and the structure of the site, and it looks like when I do come back online, this site should be more organized with a spanking new theme to suite the content of the site. Until then, thank you all for the support, I am truly grateful and just can’t wait to get back online with fresh new content. Keep on Keepin’ on, peeps!
… and as a result, I won’t be posting for about a week. I just hope the internet dudes Streamyx doesn’t take longer than that to transfer my line over. Hope you’ve enjoyed the posts and interviews so far, there’s a few more surprises popping up real soon. Also, do take part in the ongoing competition which is ending in about 4 days or so. You still have a chance to win, so do submit your answers over. Lastly, hope you have a great weekend ahead, and to all the artists who are going to be having shows between this week and the next, good luck mates!

Sliks has been around the street art scene for some time now, and it’s no surprise that he should come up with something new. He did this with blacklight, a dash of florescent paint and an abundance of creativity. Big thanks to Miss *G for sharing this over at Nice.
