Who are Stan & Bonez?

great_magnet · Post by **great_magnet** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 10:36 am

I don't know if you other CBD workers/dwellers have noticed the influx of tagging on a grand scale by the seemingly ubiquitous Stan & Bonez.

Whilst their tags bear all the quality of a dislexic six year old with webbed fingers, the sheer volume and size of their body of work is staggering.

They have managed to cover some of the most bizarre landmarks in the city, I keep waiting for the giant tag on the 81st floor of the Eureka Tower lift shafts to inevitably appear...

Anyone else noticed their stuff???

70k man- don't you know it.

some made "how did he get up there's: too.

some people might say quality over quantity but HAHA might disagree.

Nice one dboy...

My fave is on the ancient Fosters billboard as you leave Flinders St station on the way to Spencer. NFI how they managed that one.

hate to keep biting from other sites, but example needed.

He hit up some high walls with this style too, out side richomond where the old MSA was and other similar rooftops.

a few more cats have been getting into their massive tagging squad too. i see Ha-Ha aswell. Meow and Bonez were some of the first i noticed tiiime ago on the top of that building next to where ansett used to be.

Meow, what a cool tag name.

ukime · Post by **ukime** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 12:38 pm

HaHa is everywhere ... haven't had my eyes open for stan &/or bonez.

Still see Dorps popping up in dusty, untouched places too (they're old, but still not bested) in some areas. But then again, I haven't really been on public transport for awhile - not during the day, anyway.

Ag3nT[]0raNg3 · Post by **Ag3nT[]0raNg3** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 12:46 pm

also see Optic (is this the same Optic that does mad stencils??) getting in on the big shit too.

anyone know who does those faces that look like they have been done with a roller? they mad.

some good ones at Vic Park station behind some buildings. good graff there too.

HA-HA has been at it for ages.
Stencil work is more his bag though imo.

Penno · Post by **Penno** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 2:31 pm

I'm glad I found this post, because yeah I see their tags everywhere... having no car I catch alot of PT all over the place, and yeah their stuff is literally on every side of town.... there's some massive ones you see on the train from the city to North Melbourne, near the FCUK sign, under the freeway... seriously so many people would have seen these guys work, and prolly not even known it....

Speaking of prolific taggers there's a paste up that's all over Prahran... sorta hard to descibe, it's usually of this guy with big eyes, usually holding a glue brush... or a septer looking thing? Does anyone know who does these? I think I saw their art on a skateboard which got me intrigued...

I've often wondered how they achieve that drippy parkinson's style font. Nothing if not unique.

They're pretty big for paste ups.... sometimes 1.5m maybe more? There's tons of different ones... in fact I don't think I've ever seen two the same, they're all very much in the same style though so I'd say it's the same person....

DBoy · Post by **DBoy** » Tue Feb 01, 2005 3:45 pm

you don't mean the Kaon one's. More monsterism than actual "guys".

Who was it that had a Kaon t-shirt on, on new years day, mad too see. He has been piecing up his charcters heaps recently too. much repect.

It's crazy huge! I look up at it on my way home every night and ponder life in Collingwoods big questions....

1. How?
2. Why?

do you mean braddock? the guy that does those rad bunny rabbit robot heads and other such cool paste ups?

he also did the walls of kent st and sells work there.

some of my stuff from a few years ago up on stencil revolution.

not saying what tho cos they are a bit shite compared to the others!

pics or STFU.

Penno · Post by **Penno** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 12:10 pm

Could be Kaon or braddock both of those descriptions sound like they could kinda be it... more so monsterish dudes in a cartoon kinda style, clearly defined lines...

If anyone lives near greville st. there's a solicitors there with a big red wall (up the chapel st. end) and there's a massive one on it right now, and has been for a week or so... that solicitor guy must repint his wall once a month I reckon, it gets absolutley covered in shit...

Focus · Post by **Focus** » Wed Feb 02, 2005 4:08 pm

Some of their stuff is done withpaint filled fire extinguishers, real messy shit, but imagine how fun it would be.

And stanz pdt is not stanly.

Nup

Prolific is the multi story building piece in the inner city... dunno why the fuux every second window is painted in until you stand 300 metres away from it

Decent show was on at place on little la trobe st called Tranzit or something, heaps of cool biz by HA-HA and a few others. Check it out if its still on.

---=== OFF-TOPIC ===---

Who was your fav. local writer???

weither it be quality or quantity..

i'd have to give my respect to "Neaz"...i used to see his shit everywhere ...

and i was always impressed with his piece up high on the side of a building on the Westgate Freeway exit...

was the first high-up piece i ever saw... always used to get me thinking... how the fuck did he get up there...

growing up it was guys like Duel, Ransom and Merda.

then it was Nabit (RIP), Tame, New, Puzle and Kem.

but I've gotta say that in his prime, Spek rocked shit and got up like a mother fucking machine. respect.

(I think his giant whitewash job in the Camberwell trench might still be there after 12 years too!)

^^^ You might want to remove first names from that one, guy.

I'm loving Riefy 70k at the mo... When I was growing up I liked a lot of Saipan, Jumble, Hugh and the KSA boys stuff. Also love Ivo, brilliant public biznus.

Looks liek someone over the weekend had a practice with fire extinguisher type stuff on Gertrude St, in the empty site between Getrudes Bar and the building next door. Covered in white splatters....

Focus · Post by **Focus** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 12:19 pm

I don't quite understand what 70k are trying to do, but fuck do they try to be shit. I kind of think thats the point. Bloody art students i'm guessing. Talk about flipping the script.

By the way samo, there are many artists that do stuff for blank.

nic · Post by **nic** » Tue Feb 08, 2005 12:22 pm

Bloody art students i'm guessing.

70K is just everywhere.....I think thats his point. They sure do get around alot, must stay awake all weekedn just walking around drawing.
