Gonna keep this short and all about the pics... Basically I went on a solo 24hr roundtrip to Malmo and back via Copenhagen this weekend! It was hectic, tiring but super fun to say the least... Intense would probably be the perfect word!

MONOREX & EDDING ARE SHORTLISTED FOR 2 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 2 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!

Russia vs. England @ Faces & Laces

Went to Moscow to battle "team Russia" in Secret Wars @ Faces & Laces - We had a great time and made some good friends! cheers to all that helped out and got involved and a huge big up to Reebok Russia for getting us out there.

Moscow is an amazing place and I would recommend it to anyone... Some interesting food and cheap Russian vodka always near by ;)

We had 3 days off where we checked out all parts of the city and made some good connections - we also ended up hanging out with magician Dynamo, who was actually staying in the room next door at the hotel... This guy is seriously talented, check him out on YOUTUBE.

yesterday we went on a little sight seeing visit - below are some of our shots!

THE BATTLE NIGHT!

The rules and info

Kick off - with the Russians on the left and UK on the right

The battle was held on the Reebok stand, over the 90 mins we must have had over 1000 people come and check it out. The reaction from the Russians was great! I am sure we will be back soon.

England and Russia meeting in the middle

Team England - Teck (Left), Wen (Right) - Theme was bear baiting the old and very popular russian cartoon character "Cheburashka"

The Russians all think we are Cockneys ;), so they decided to crunch us up with Vasilly's trademark character.

Watch this space for more action in Russia

SECRET WARS X HAVANA CLUB - REPORT

Things got messy last week down at Village Underground! In a Secret Wars special in collaboration with Havana club and edding UK - Monorex took on Innercity collective on the biggest Secret Wars wall ever built (40ft wide by 16ft high)!

The Monorex team was made up of Stika, Teck, Jimi Crayon, Mr K and Alfa - They came with a loose plan in mind, easiest way to explain would be to say they drew a Cuban party in a old skool Cadillac.

Not only was this event the biggest wall on record but the guys at Secret Wars hq also allowed a small amount of colour to help express the Cuban vibes! Probably never to be seen again at any Secret Wars event....

For all those that were lucky enough to get in and sip on free Havana cocktails (big up), and a HUGE sorry to those peeps that did not get in (RSVP AND GET THERE SOONER NEXT TIME).

Thanks to everyone that helped out and a massive thanks to WIGHT PRESERVATION for building the wall.

Big up to Havana for backing this crazy concept and edding uk for supplying us our battle markers!
