> 08/05/2013 - Life After Death!
Come check out our new exhibition 'Life After Death' which opens in exactly 2 weeks! Open for 1 week only from Thursday 23 May. See the flyer below for more details!

Life After Death showcases a mixture of new visual artworks that represent life after transitioning from painting graffiti where the gallery was in the streets and the art was just letterforms. This dramatic change has led both artists to explore and perfect other areas of visual arts which they have come to love and pursue with the same energy previously focused on their graffiti.

> 06/05/2013 - Limited Edition TGTB X Route52 T-Shirt and Print!
My good friend Brendan Kitto (www.route52.co.nz) and I have worked together on a design called 'Life After Death' for a Limited Edition run of T-Shirts and Prints available now for purchase! We are also having a show together which opens on the 23rd of May, 2013. More details of the show coming soon!

The 'Life After Death' Limited Edition Print is a collaboration between Gary Silipa and Brendan Kitto. The wall was painted by GS and the photo shot by BK at a site in Auckland with an interesting history. Protests which occupied this site in the mid 90's, a suspicious fire in 2002 which tore through the buildings which were once there and an ongoing dispute as to what to use this prime piece of land for, this photo was taken on the old school grounds of a college in suburban Auckland left to waste away.

'Life After Death' is about something new being birthed from something old. A resurrection.

There are only 50 prints available so get in quick!

Check it out if you're free.

For more details find them on facebook. I just searched 'Holy Moly'.

> 15/02/2013 - Outdoor Mural for SVSG Building!
Painted with Askew1 and Benjamin Work, this mural is on the 'Samoa Victim Support Group' building in Apia, Samoa. Thanks to everyone involved and who helped out! Check out those yellow poles...UHHHHH!

> 12/02/2013 - Arrived back from Samoa last week. The longest time I've spent there during any previous trip has been 1 week so I wasn't too sure how being there for 5 weeks would go. Turns out 5 weeks was just right. 1 week spent hanging out with friends, 2 weeks getting tattooed, and 2 weeks healing from an infection from getting the tattoo :|

> 01/01/2013 - Happy New Year!
I'll be back from Samoa in February so will update what I've been up to when I get back. In the meantime check out the Archive of how 2012 went here.
