Bangkok Bros

So I'm heading to Bangkok tomorrow with my good buddy Andrew. Expect a couple stupid yet eye-opening videos and a really dumb blog when I return to HK...

Also, the zine I made a while back is for sale (by payment of beer). Let me know if you want one as I have to reprint more for some people who have requested some.

Star Crossed Tattoo

Star Crossed Tattoo has been home to some extremely talented artists, including myself (JK, I sucked). However, it is Hong Kong's leading shop. With an emphasis on hygiene and pushing the limits with custom work it is one of the only places in Hong Kong I recommend if looking to get some work done.

If you live in Hong Kong or plan on visiting, Star Crossed is a must visit shop. Not only are the current artists fully skilled they are also friendly and fun. The staff is very polite and you will not be disappointed with the quality of work.


After the sad departure of JULIA SEIZURE...


 Star Crossed was taken over by two humble South African artists 





If you would like to see more work done by any of these artists, please click on the photos or names above them.

Star Crossed Tattoo is located at 57 Granville Road, 2/F, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong
Open Daily (except Wednesdays) from 3-9pm

Contact them at 3427 3820

Famished Phantoms

Every once in a while we get to experience a great landmark in local music here in our city. Saturday night we had Hungry Ghosts. Releasing their EP2 at Backstage in Central was a big success. The place was packed out (and with good reason). With opening acts like Corey Tam and The One Horse Town, Modern Children and More Reverb it was a quality night of sound. Hungry Ghosts were nothing short of mind-blowing (I was with two Ghost-virgins to prove it).

EP2. If you missed the show this is a must own.

As always Corey Tam was spot on. I kept realizing what a superb song writer he is. A little jealous. Hate you and love you Corey.

Because I'm pretty slack ass when it comes to fully paying attention to anything, I left mid-show to get some 711 beers with Shawn and he showed me some songs from the upcoming David Bowie Knives CD. I must say I am sooo EFFing excited for that bomb to drop!





Hungry Ghosts EP2 is the culmination of years of hard work. Listening to it non-stop today I can see why.

Zine Scene

It's been too long. Chinese New Year is over and I have spent almost all of it either with a drink in hand or playing the new Zelda (which is freaking rad by the way).

Other than that I don't have a hell of a lot to report. 


Hungry Ghosts EP launch is coming up this Saturday (4th of February). Please go and support them. It's gonna be a fantastic show!

(click on the picture to see the details of the show)

On the 10th I am taking part in a 'Zine Swap' with a bunch of friends and fellow artists. This should be a fun night too... swing by and pick up a bunch of original zines.
