DMOTE – Australia (Exvandel Sunnies)
The monster of Graffiti in Australia, you can’t spell ‘street art’ in Aussie without the letters D-M-O-T-E. Plying his art across the globe, but still firmly held to the ground by his roots in the artisan suburb of Surrey Hills, Sydney. DMOTE (aka Shannon Peel) has managed to evolve his art across mediums and even into the commercial sphere without ever sacrificing his integrity or intelligence. Part of the RVCA team, he has recently exhibited jointly with Ed Templeton and has a show in the works with la-dee-dah boutique Colette in Paris.

Josh Petherick – Australia (The Wood sunnies)
Josh’s work somehow smacks of both recognition and mystery. His style is instantly recognizable for the hand writing of it’s owner, but inextricably hard to place in terms of any cultural landmarks for those not exposed to his style before . . . is it from the 1970′s? . . . is the artist Japanese, eer FRENCH!? No. His work is current and he lives outside Melbourne, Australia. There is no better means to submerge yourself in his work than the nook created for Nieves, which is a trip through his unique world of illustration and an opening to his character, which seams somewhat somber or ill at ease with their surroundings, but always so beautiful. Josh is also and has collaborated with 2K and Vans.
