YARD MASTER | Crush City Trial.
The good folk at Crush City in Brisbane tested Yard Master earlier this week. Here’s what they had to say – “The Satin finish gives it a smooth, even consistancy, great flow/coverage and easy to use with Fat or Skinny caps. The way AVT have replicated classic colours sent us back in time to a
End of the World Jam | Townsville.
In February I jumped on a northbound flight and headed back to my hometown Townsville to participate in Cre8ive Sk8’s ‘End of the World’ jam. Being that this is the city where I started my graffiti journey, I was pretty happy to get back up there and check in with the locals. Writers from all

Okay, well, maybe not all my friends are getting married, but last November certainly saw my good friend (and Ironlak Bossman) ‘The Fat Controller’ tie the knot here in Brisbane.

To BLAZE and beyond…
Last Friday we received a rather healthy shipment of the latest BLAZE (and others) at Ironlak HQ, so of course we couldn’t resist grabbing some mates and heading out to test that shit for ourselves.

A/D – Gold Coast.
Two weeks ago the fine folk at Analogue/Digital held their second Gold Coast edition of AD. Ironlak has been a sponsor of the event since they first launched a couple of years back, so this time around Matt from AD was adamant that we create some kind of display to showcase Ironlak at the event.
