Yes fam! Check out our first promo video in a series of collaborations with the brilliant Flyotw, showcasing AnyForty artists at work!

This first clip is spotlighting Numskull, who was over in London on a 2 week stay from Sydney and one of the stars of the current AnyForty & T-world The Australian Invasion Series with a instrumental soundtrack by our mate The Last Skeptik, taken from his upcoming album with Rewd Adams “How Not To Make A Living”

Check the video out below, and if your on Facebook click here to see a gallery of behind the scenes shots from the day!

Last night we popped down to Red Bull Studios, just off London Bridge, to check out our buddy Numskull’s art in the new Zero Cool Gallery show Super Pop Magic Show. Numskull had 2 sick bits on display, both available to buy for around £500, cracking for a original one off piece. If that’s a wee bit out of your budget though remember you can cop his AnyForty & T-world tee still, right here for a bargain £30!

The show’s pretty sick, and has some incredible artists displayed, i think our favourite pieces of the night were Ben Frost work on pharmaceutical and takeaway packaging, he absolutely killed it , and to be honest apart from another Aussie Bridge Stehli, all the other artists, we weren’t familiar with them at all, so we couldn’t match up there names to there work. There was meant to be a Insa piece there, but we either didn’t look properly or man’s has switched his style up and we couldn’t recognise it.

If your in London, i think the show’s open till Wednesday, so take a trip down, check out a great venue and see some cracking work. And if you’ve a spare 500 sheets, grab your self a one off piece of artings.

On a Sunday morning in late May, we hooked up with our mate, the brilliant Numskull from Sydney, who is one of the 10 incredible artists that form our new AnyForty & T-world The Australian Invasion Series, and took him to Carlton’s Cafe in Hackney Wick, just metres away from the London Olympic Stadium, and let him work his magic on a blank wall. Gold medals all round yo!

This is the teaser for the full length promo created by James McKenzie-Blyth aka Flyotw, which will blow you away, and it’s coming sooner than you think… First in a series of video collaborations we’re doing with Flyotw, taking you behind the scenes of some of your favourite AnyForty artists at work.

Fresh from a recent trip to the UK, we’re proud to introduce artist number 7 for ‘The Australian Invasion Series’, Numskull.

Who is Numskull, to those who don’t know you? I am an Australian-based artist working both indoors and outdoors.

What do you think of the Australian illustration scene compared to the rest of the world? Australia has a thriving and super talented art scene, especially Melbourne. In terms of illegal art, it’s a lot stricter. In terms of worldwide recognition, it’s even harder because we are so isolated from the rest of the overall scene. The internet helps.

How would you describe your style? Constantly changing. I have a passion for exploring and creating weird figurative, collage-style paintings and font-based work. Outside, my paintings are big and bold with less detail.

What do you know about the UK in general? I’ve spent a lot of time travelling to and from the UK when I was younger because part of my family lives there. From my experience, the UK is; subcultures, grime, crime, creativity, graffiti, funny accents, CCTV, a Queen and one of the countries at the forefront of what I’m interested in.

Have you ever been to the UK and tell us about a memorable experience you had? I recently travelled around parts of Europe and the UK where I met up with Mr. Penfold and Sweet Toof along the way. We wandered the streets of East London and painted two spots in the same day – a shop on Hackney Road, and a train front on top of the Village Underground. That was a rad day.
