New paintings up in the yard...
Over the road from HQ we have slowly adopted a few large but neglected walls - They needed a little love, but after a tickle with a paint brush and a splash of colour - They are good to go!

Umbro x Monorex - The new fabric of England
Umbro recently challenged Monorex, and asked if we could paint the new pattern on large sides of buildings... But the cool part to the project was that these were not any old buildings, these were actually 4 historic youth football clubs that had produced past and present England players.
Each selected club was also given a generous donation by Umbro for getting involved and they received a huge boost in press and publicity from naturally being attached to the international kit launch.
Whiston FC (Former club of Steven Gerrard)


Wallsend Boys Club (Former club of Alan Shearer, Micheal Carrick, Peter Beardsley, Alan Thompson)
Senrab FC (Former club to John Terry, Ray Wilkins, Sol Campbell)
Clifton FC (Former club of Jermaine Jenas and Jermaine Pennant)
Whiston FC
Pattern designed by Peter Saville

Addicts latest Guest Artist range
When they're not travelling the world painting murals the size of Beyonce's backside, Monorex favourites Disco Teck, Alfa and Jimi Crayon are at home designing fresh looking tees for the general public to buy and wear and look good and feel better about them selves, which is kind of making the world a slightly better place.

Monorex x Umbro teaser
After completing a huge and successful campaign with Umbro during the build up to the world cup, we were asked again to create a load of other murals across the country. There's still a few more to be completed, once they're all finished, we'll show them off in all their glory. In the mean time here's a couple of shots from a recent wall



Suzuki x Monorex - Live show at Westfield London
Monorex were commissioned to paint live at Westfields last month, but this was no normal commission... As Suzuki made advertising history, being the first brand to film, timelapse, live edit and transmit the pictures live to all major railway stations across London..

Bar Tokyo, Southampton
Hicks and the rest of the 54 crew were on hand to paint this recent commission in Southampton. The clients wanted to go all out, which was exactly what we wanted.
The bar, named Tokyo had to have an authentic japanese look and feel. This was a huge job, scale wise and we didn't disappoint.
After the exterior was completed, Monorex were commissioned again to do the interior wall. Images coming soon!!

Alife x Drake x Umbro x Monorex
The Crystal Pharoah and Alife just dropped a fresh video documenting the Drake gig at the Alife x Umbro pop up store.
Monorex were flown over to paint the large wall in the courtyard - adding every country that featured in the FIFA World Cup 2010... Good fun and a messy trip stateside!
More good projects like this bubbling on that side of the pond, watch this space...

Red Bull Canvas Cooler
A few weeks ago Alfa, Teck, Riff & Mr Gauky headed down to the Redbull HQ for a day of fridge customisation! Along with 15 other top artists they spent the day painting or illustrating the specially primed chillers.
In the evening the workshop was transformed into a private, exclusive exhibition space packed out with Red Bull contacts, artists and a few other lucky people! The finished fridges were placed on plinths for bar owners to select a fridge of their own; so look out for these in the coolest, trendiest bars around London!

Man City x Monorex
Monorex recently sent Mr K and Stika on a 3 day mission to Manchester to paint the Man City club shop at the Arndale shopping centre.
The brief was to apply a blueprint style to all the walls and units - quite a tricky task where there was no room for error (as the guys only had one chance with the permanent white edding pens).
Using a super high res projector (not our usual tool) we were able to minimise the chances of any problems - and the guys worked around the clock to get this complete for the opening.
Overall we were super happy with the finish and the client got exactly what they required....

Mono Brow x Courvoisier
Well well...what a week it has been! Our latest adventure involved us teaming up with Courvoisier to throw a pop up group show as part of the brands 2 week Revolutionary Spirit Festival. Fittingly tilted "Mono Brow" artists- Alfa, Disco Teck, Stika, Chu, Wen, Mr Guaky, Jimi Crayon, and a special appearance by Mr K were given just under 48 hours to transform The Future Gallery into an off the cuff display of art. A sleep over or two and some some seriously annoying problems with a broken lift pod didn't stop the guys from hitting home some amazing work.
To celebrate the Courvoisier Revolutionary Spirit, Monorex turning 6 and just the general end of two days work, we held a bit of a viewing party for 100 guests. AND celebrate we did! After all everyone could indulge in some seriously tasty cocktails courtesy of Courvoisier throughout the night.
Thank you to all that came to view Mono Brow - Fun times were definitely held!
Lastly a big hug & kiss to everyone at Courvoisier for this....you know who you are.
