It was a year and not so long ago that my friend Ben Mulherin announced that he was diagnosed with a cancerous lump on his leg. We had no idea at the time that he would be taken from us only 6 months later. RIP Ben! We know where you are now! :)

Kings Way: The Beginnings of Australian Graffiti (which I posted about previously) is now available in most Australian bookstores for $65 AUD!

For those in the United States, the book is still on pre-order status on Amazon.com, but word is that it’s supposed to go live on July 1, 2009 (tomorrow) so you might as well add it to your shopping cart now and take advantage of the low sale price of $28.38.

This is like my worst nightmare…and this kid thinks it’s fun!

Tom Buchanan of Australia laid in a clear perspex box and had 125 Golden Orb Spiders put onto his body for 55 seconds during the ‘Australia: Guinness World Records’ TV show in Sydney, New South Wales on 27 August 2005. GROSS.

Shown here is the Rock Duffel Bag, just one of many items available for purchase in the Mooks online store which is now live. A small part of me wants to buy another pair of Dunlop Volleys right now because they ship to the US. Mmm…
