Wow, this is the first blog i've ever written, what a step in my advencement towards techno-topia! So, most of you know I'm currently living in Hong Kong. Mick and I share a flat on the ground floor with 5inch snails crawling through the garden = lush! We recently adopted a paralysed pigeon, Puff Digeon, but unfortunately he passed away a few days ago. Now i'm 2-wombs down, the girls have gone to China, and I'm travelling to Japan next week. Some may remember my friend Kei, japanese guy, afro the size of a house! I'm meeting him in his home town of Shizuoka. I will travel by train to Shanghai on tuesday and spend 5 days there sampling fine street delicacys before taking a two day ferry to Osaka.

The last few weeks have been easy going, settling into the house, watching cheap dvd's, Tsz Wo is spending alot of time at my place in between his job at the Ocean Park Empire and I'm getting the hang of chinese cooking! The beaches are beautiful and i frequent halfmoon bay weekly by boat.. Last friday night Mick and I embarked on a 'bombing' mission in downtown kowloon. It was
my first stencil!my first stencil!my first stencil!

some sort of railway carriage/home, i sure made myself at home!
my first stencil ever made, a panda bear wearing a three chamber gas mask, and i made about 5 or 6 stencils throughtout the night. The guys painted the town, well, black! with some awesome graff pieces in some abandoned building sites and backstreets. Start from zero was upto his old and always beautiful tricks, stickers, wheat pastes and being my mentor 😊 Spray or do not spray, there is no try! One particular spot i enjoyed was an old building site with a kind of train carriage/small house type quarters. It was a memorable experience and has inspired me to create more of my own street art.

I'm going for the "dragged out of the 70's" look at the moment, and it's going down well in the HK countryside! I saw my first rogue cow in sai kung last night, in the middle of a roundabout grazing. Fascinating! Tonight Mick and some local friends of ours are heading to a band comp that two of our friends are competing in. It;s the final so good luck to them! Photos to come soon 😊 Wow, i should have taken a breath somewhere around the second paragraph, but i'm getting used to this!
