MURAL ON EBENEZER
Nov 23rd
When Matt Stuckey and Joel Van Der Knapp (of The Treehouse fame) wanted to create something to make the environment a bit more fun and engaging, they turned their skills to painting a mural representing the interaction between urban landscapes and organic elements in the creative hub that is Ebenezer Pl, Adelaide.
“Basically we just want to create something we’re happy to look at everyday. Hopefully people who we would never meet otherwise will notice and appreciate our work and contemporary art in general.”
Standing at over a story tall and about 9m wide, it’s impossible to miss the gigantic abstract form.
“It is huge. Both of us have a very bold, graphic style, so we’ve taken that look and scaled it up,” explains Matt.
With their studio just around the corner, Ebenezer was an obvious choice.
“It is between us and coffee, so we pass it frequently. It is a great location in a really creative hub. There will certainly be more and more street art in the East End in the near future so it is a great place and time to be up and visible.”

Emcees Ilyas, Donwill and Von Pea – AKA Tanya Morgan – educates us on the new iTunes application made specifically for rappers by rappers. Here’s what you get when you download the app: a notepad, microphone, rhyming dictionary, and sound bank of original beats. Neat huh? So now you can write and record tracks on an iPhone or iPod Touch *no studio needed*.

Argh 2009. The year MJ died (RIP). Obama became president and the GFC raped us all hard. But in between all the gloom and doom, there was plenty of room for merry moments: Kanye dissing Taylor Swift. Jay-Z feeding us The Blueprint 3. Red + Method Man and their thoughts on Kelis… Yup rehashing 2009 is on everyone’s lips – especially the cool peeps over at Spader. They hit up and cornered one half of Crumpet founder and Attitude magazine journo Bee Peasy to jog her pea-sized brizain for her best 2009 moments a year could bring.

Alerted to my attention by fellow Crumpeter AFishNamedStargazer was this Space Jam Astro Dunk Tee. Undrcrwn are at it again! I think the name of this tee best describes how dope it really is. We know our readers are all clued in to what the space cadet on this tee is actually doing, but for the rest of the population that just stumbled on this goodness well its the one and only Michael Jordan dunk.
A remix like this comes once every blue moon and this is a limited edition so we say pull your socks up and get this. I did
