The London Police
April 7th, 2009
OG Monster Network homies Chaz (Chelmsford legend) and Bob Gibson (one time part owner of the best 80s jump ramp in Bicknacre) originally formed The London Police about 10 years ago when they moved to Amsterdam, since then they have travelled around the world with their iconic and unique street art. StolenSpace Gallery in east London will be hosting their latest exhibition with an opening party on Thursday night (*nudge* free beer…) and the show will run until the 26th of April. Check here for more info and be sure to catch the show if you can.
Huge props to both Chaz and Bob for their 10th anniversary show!

John Dragonette
March 27th, 2009
SF homie and awesome photographer Jon Dragonette is trying to raise support for his entry in the Name Your Dream Assignment competition. Jon wants to photograph the landmine and unexploded bomb victims of Laos and also cover the charity efforts that try and discover the old munitions and also tend and care for their victims. Jon’s photos would then be exhibited and all money raised would be donated to these charities and they would also raise awareness of the crisis, a very good cause.
Jon needs as many people as possible to sign up and vote for his entry so if you could spare 60 seconds to register, we (and Jon) would really appreciate it. To find out way more about Jon’s entry and to also vote go here. A big thank you in advance.

Skylarking
December 22nd, 2008
Friend of the MN Dan Kircher just premiered and released his new video ‘Skylarking’. LBD went to the New Zealand premiere but we haven’t received our usual LBD email video review yet but no doubt the video is a winner (the last video ‘Forays’ certainly was). DVDs can be ordered direct from 09 Video Factory with PayPal.
Check this cutting room floor edit from late November…SICK.

Channon’s Photos
July 1st, 2008
Friend of MN Channon King is obviously recognised for his sick skating both in Russ’ video ‘Never Forever’ and all the way back to Blueprint and the North Essex/Suffolk scenes around the late 90s, early 00s but what people may not have been aware of is his photography. Documenting with an SLR camera and 35mm film Channon has been taking photos for a while and this week he had an article in Tweaker Zine highlighting some of these photos including some of Sandy and Steve Bailey as well as Dave Watson, Nick Jensen, Chewy Cannon, etc. Worth a look plus check out Channon’s Flickr too.
