Kopps, Whalebone and Craig reading.
Kopps, Whalebone and Craig reading the first ArtPark Journal at Kopps/Knost show.
The Art Park Journal #1
I don't usually enjoy the smell of a fresh newspapers because it brings me back to my paper boy delivering days (yes I delivered papers for something retarded like $6 for 150 papers....slave labour?). But this newspaper is like the smell off a U.S.A. burger from the Top-Shop after a gnarly-surf-dude-session at Monkey's. When I got handed a copy of this newspaper I was like a kid at Christmas getting a Furby or something? The ArtPark Journal #1 is now out and for FREE!!!! All you have to do is go here and pay for your postage and it will be delivered to your doorstep wherever you live in the world. I hope you get a kick out of it as much as I did. It's full of a tonne of good articles and art. Do it now! Everyone else is (see picture above).
Check it...
Congrats to my brother John for putting this together. He really nailed this edit summing
up the emotion that Joni captures with her pictures and also from my personal experience he photographed the day to a tee.

The Final Step....developing
Tah-Dah!!!! (like a magician would say?!)
Sternbach & Abegg Hommus
Joni & Me (Check Joni's head piece. I had a towel over my head to shade my self from the sun so Joni thought she'd join in on the fun and improvised with her camera shade. Rad lady!)

"So what does it do? Is it digital??? Let me see the picture you just took!"

Joni Sterbach's work can't be described in words. I tried but sat in front of my keyboard with the little typing cursing blinking away, not knowing what words to put down. For now I think it's best that I let her work do the talking that you can check out at on her website here. I was lucky enough to be asked by Joni to have my portrait taken and I didn't even need to think about my answer. I spent the morning at the Pass, Byron Bay and watched on in amazement as Joni worked away taking other portraits and developing them on the spot. When it came time to develop my photo I stood back and watched on and once the process had finished she asked my opinion. I was lost for words and thought ''who cares about my opinion? You're the artist" and that's what I ended up saying. She laughed and then I said "This is going to be the photo I want at my funeral". For now I've got to much I want to achieve so hopefully you wont see this on a casket any time soon! Thankyou to Joni and her assistant Kim for making it a day I will never forget, and thanks to Paul and Craig from ArtPark for bringing her out here and introducing me to Joni. Will post some shots I took on the day soon and I sent off a roll of super8 I shot as well so that will be up here in the next few weeks.
AQUA BATS
Aquabats - Alaia's are hard to ride from Johnny Abegg Films on Vimeo.
Johnny Abegg aka me + 6 years (We share the same birthday and several other creepy things) made this little clip with footage we shot of each other 2-something years ago surfing an Alaia for the 1st time. The piece of timber was hand shaped by Dain Thomas. The session was a blast. Paul Mc created the artwork for the clip.
ArtPark
Got a little Christmas/New Years care package of t-shirts and caps from the Paul and Craig from ArtPark. Along with the gear was this drawing from Paul that apparently left Byron black and white and thanks to the mega amounts of rain Qld has had, has now transformed the once nikko work into some water colour-esque masterpiece. Can't wait to hopefully meet and see what their first resident artist, Joni Sternbach brings to Australia with her mind blowing photography. Go check out the boys site and support the artists and ArtPark.
