21 year old Rob Tuckers’ rise in New Zealand’s art world has been organic but rapid, a transition from high school to full time painting that has not been prescribed by formal training. It all started casually, having the odd show down at the local gallery, and this is where he met people who helped him initially start moving forward. It was a new and exciting way to express himself, but at the time he never saw it as a career path -even though it was always a dream. Rob says of his rise: “I have never had any training for my art. People see this as a non-conformist approach but to me it is more of a natural progression of my ideas about art. This has helped me forge my own opinions of what I want to achieve rather than being told by someone what is good and what isn’t.”

Naked broadband might be all the rage (take that telephone companies), but naked-walking-down-the-street isn’t quite as acceptable just yet (one day… one day). Maybe you’ve already got clothes. Maybe you’re fully dressed as we speak and don’t need to cover up. I don’t know, I’m not stalking you. But, on the off chance that you DO need new clothes, and you need them quick, here’s a brilliant tip! Shop online at Mooks.com.
It’s easy, it’s fun (well, ok, 4 on a scale of 1 to 10) and best of all, shipping is quick smart so you wont be left #hanging# for long. We even ship to far of places like the magical lands of Uzbekistan, Kasbekistan and Mynamestan*

Accents are a funny thing, take the English language for example, so many ways to say ‘park the car’, so many ways to say ‘diplomatic immunity’. And isn’t it funny how we assume other languages only have one accent each…like surely all French people laugh in ‘Haw haw haw’, surely all Germans gargle spit when requesting another stein? It’s funny what happens when one culture interprets another. Mooks explores this ‘phenomenon’ in its spring collection, looking particularly at the way Japanese youth culture re-interprets western sub cultures, making them their own.

Swimwear. What a lovely word to type out whilst rugged up in 4 layers and a Snuggie (god, I can’t believe I just referenced that deplorable excuse for a backwards dressing gown). Anyway, truth of the matter is, we live in a world of changes, of cycles, a circle of life. And so, as plain as the nose of my face (yes, I am not a robot), I GUARANTEE that spring will sprung, and that you WILL need an uber cute new swim thing to swim in. If your chosen water garment happens to be a new Mooks bikini, then you are one of the chosen few who is both wise and sexy. As swimwear goes, Mooks has managed to wrangle the essential elements of what is cute, banging, clever and new, in flattering two-piece. Reflecting Mooks’ spring range exploration of western cultures interpreted by Japanese youth, each swimwear piece nods its head at the concept. Classic, clean silhouettes meet feature prints and cutesy-pie details such as bows, frills and plaiting. Fancy pants finishing like metal beading and silver metallic finishes keep things sweetly sophisticated.
When the ice doth lift, (and it will), remember THIS is where its at.

When it comes to music festivals, Australia is spoilt for choice thanks to the abundance of open fields and paddocks that grace our big brown slab. One such festival is the much loved ‘Splendour in the Grass’, held annually in the small coastal town of Byron Bay. This year’s massive influx of Splendour Benders seemed to test the outer limits of Byron’s capacity, with accommodation, buses and booze shops busting at the seams.
