DrewFunk is launching 10 years of his work as a self published book
Everyone has there own opinion but it’s great to see Meggs on this list.
Meggs, and his Everfresh Crew, haven’t sat on their laurels in 2012. Back in June, we noted an impressive showing in Hong Kong and terrific work at Pow Wow in Hawaii. Meggs has since shown at San Francisco’s White Walls and rounded out the year crushing it down in Miami.
A traveling man, this Australian graffiti writer hasn’t stopped pushing since January 1, 2012. Shout outs are due to Rone and Phibs too.
This is just a super quick process video I made of a few of the walls in Miami:

This wall was another that happened completely by chance, someone walking past asked if I could do the something similar on his building.
The wall had a yellow stripe & massive window in the middle of it but I worked with what I was given and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.

Thanks to MyDigitalVoid we now have some updated pics of the secondary walls done by Meggs & Phibs in Wynwood, Miami during the course of Art Basel Miami 2012.
(Check out MyDigitalVoid for more pics of the events and murals!
This was definitely the best fun I had painting a wall in Miami, large grass area, no windows, doors or other obstructions. Just a relaxed place to paint.
Big thanks to Luis @ Brisky Gallery
Unfortunately we didn’t all paint the same wall together due to timing and organisation logistics which were more like a game of chance.
But Phibs, Meggs & myself arrived in Miami with nothing lined up but by the end of the first day we had convinced a local business to let us take over their whole building.
Phibs even made the News channel – ha

Ok I am really sorry about the lack of posting on the blog whilst in Miami. I’ll try make it up with a ton of pics…
I don’t have pics of all the walls, but I hope Maka, Meggs & Reka will also be posting something shortly.
One of the first things we did was go to one of my favourite stores in the world, ‘Home Depot’ and stock up on supplies:
Reka had been in town for a few weeks already so he had a good head start on the rest of us:
Nice to see a few of my works from last year survived, just:
White Walls Presents:
In One Hand a Ghost, the Other an Atom A Solo Show by New2
White Walls is pleased to present In One Hand a Ghost, the Other an Atom a solo show featuring new works from Australian artist New2. The exhibition will feature between 16 and 24 pieces large-scale works made entirely from paper.
The opening reception will be Saturday, December 15th from 6-9 PM, and is free and open to the public for viewing through January 5th, 2013.
All the works of New2 are hand-cut layered paper
collages, crafted with even more detailed than the work New2 debuted in 941 Geary’s
showcase of the top contemporary Australian artists, Young and Free. With 28 years of
writing on trains and in the street, New2’s mastery is evident, with some pieces
displaying the artist’s more traditional lettering, while others break off into progressive
new forms. Paper is not a medium one normally associates with graffiti. New2’s
meticulously-layered collages push our standard conception of the art form. The bold
compositions take on a different shape depending on the angle they’re seen from, and the unexpected dips and valleys in the lightweight material creates a striking juxtaposition.
New2 began painting in Melbourne Australia in the early 1980s. He is a founding
member of the Da Mad Artists (DMA) crew who were prominent figures in the Australian
train writing movement. He was part of the first generation of writers and street artists to
gain recognition outside of Australia. New2 is still writing on walls and also investigating
other areas of his creative field, utilizing paper collage, ceramic versions of his lettering,
and wooden sculptures. He has exhibited in both group and solo shows in Australia,
United States and Europe. Whilst his walls pieces are visually modern and progressive,
his work respects the ongoing tradition of letter writing.
Worlds largest graffiti? 1.7km x 5km
Worlds Largest Graffiti” von Santiago Sierra, Smara Refugee Camp, Algerien: “In October 2012 the letters “S.O.S.” were carved into the ground of Western Sahara/Algeria near the Saharaui refugee camp Smara in collaboration with Artifariti and the Frente Polisario. The graffiti measures 5 km x 1,7 km, which makes it the largest graffiti in the world. The piece refers to the Saharaui peoples struggle for independence from Moroccan rule in the almost forgotten West Saharan conflict. For 36 years they have lived in makeshift conditions under the provisional arrangement of the refugee camps in the Sahara desert, south east of Tindouf
Just completed this monster wall for Wonderwalls in Wollongong.
This is the biggest scale I have ever worked with. Hope to keep this up…
Big thanks to the Hours for making this event happen
More Pics from the event should be here soon…

I spent the day working with Phibs on a few Canvas’ at his home in Sydney.
I thought I should share the awesomeness that is the house of Phibs:
