Hell Yeah! is a full color, glossy magazine for anyone out there who’s into art, music, rabble rousing, fashion and everything in between. Unlike other glossies currently in rotation from Australia, Hell Yeah! is uniquely focused towards street culture, an area that’s often talked about but widely uncatered for. Our magazine will feature un-PC, no-holds-barred, raw social commentary; 100% stilleto and anorexic model free; interviews with cats from all over the world and what’s goin’ on in the art, music and design scenes that’s got people in the know talking, thrown in with a good measure of humour, sarcasm and shit-stirring. Basically we let you in on all the dope shit that’s going on here, there and everywhere.

Press Release: Graffiti competition aims to promote legal artworks.

ISSUED TO THE MEDIA IN SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA TODAY:

Graffiti competition aims to promote legal artworks.

Brisbane, Australia – June 28, 2010.

Ironlak is currently running a nationwide competition to encourage the creation of legal graffiti-inspired murals throughout Australia.

This competition has been run successfully in previous years and entrants in the past have observed the competition’s rules and understand the intent of the competition.

The terms and conditions explicitly state that “ALL ARTWORK MUST BE PAINTED WITH PERMISSION”. The very nature of this competition is to push artists to strive towards artistic excellence rather than careless vandalism.

The recipients of the paint prizes MUST be of legal age.

Entrants of this competition will usually spend several days creating a mural, with the goal of creating an impressive piece of artwork.

We believe that graffiti is a legitimate artform and we support the legal expression of that. We absolutely do not endorse or encourage malicious vandalism, in fact it is something we try strongly to encourage against and we regularly support community art initiatives to help counter this.

We believe this type of competition should be encouraged by local councils as a way to divert young people’s efforts towards graffiti art in legitimate circumstances. Legal art programs have been used for several years by different councils to help curb vandalism. We strongly encourage councils to create more legal art avenues for these artists and we believe that the majority of the community would be pleasantly surprised and supportive of the murals that these artists are capable of creating when given legitimate avenues.

We do not give away our Ned-Long hoodies. This item was produced in a limited run as fashion apparel, designed for colder climates and is sold to retailers primarily in Europe and the Midwest USA.
