Monorex crew are throwing a huge party at the Village Underground to celebrate our first 5 years in business!

Famously known for creating "Secret Wars", Monorex is now five years old and wants to party and say thank you to each and everyone one of our supporters / friends who we have met along our crazy adventures..

Being 5 does not mean we are now stale! it means we have 5 years more experience and knowledge of how our industry works... So expect more unique and inspiring ideas /concepts and dazzling artwork from team MONOREX.

MONOREX & EDDING ARE SHORTLISTED FOR 3 ARTS & BUSINESS AWARDS




QUOTE FROM SITE
"The 31st Arts & Business Awards celebrate and showcase the best examples of cultural partnerships and sponsorships across the UK."

Monorex & Edding have been shortlisted for 3 out of 6 awards on offer at this years 31st Arts & Business awards ceremony... This is in recognition to the hard work put in by Edding UK and Monorex on the Secret Wars project.

Looks like I will be needing to rent a Tuxedo as the crowd don't look like the average streetwear crowd ;)

Keep your fingers crossed for us to win one of these prestigious awards... C'mon Monorex!



Thanks to all the hard work Andy from Edding has put into this pitch... big appreciation!

Swish Swizz Shoe Shop Scheme ..starring Monorex!

While most of the Monorex team were over Secret Wars-ing it in N.Y our man CONZO travelled to BADEN, SWITZERLAND for the opening of Kine EM, a new trendy sneaker store.
The mission was to paint Reebok athletic footwear and we asked local boy Dr. Drax from the One Truth crew to join.
A good day in the sun produced more than 30 happy new customs owners!
Good luck to Kine EM and thanks to One Truth, Reebok and Edding.
