FLIES Crew x Ironlak - Melbourne.
A couple of weeks back a bunch of the FLIES crew got together in Melbourne, Australia and painted this reunion wall. We were happy to flow them a bunch of paint for the occasion. The wall came out funky-fresh.

The All Ironlak Graffiti Competition returns! Previously only for Australian heads, this year's version of the competition is bigger and better than ever.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: ALL ARTWORK MUST BE PAINTED WITH PERMISSION. OPEN TO RESIDENTS OF AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, USA, CANADA, HAWAII, MEXICO, COLOMBIA, ARGENTINA, CHILE, PERU, GUATEMALA & PUERTO RICO. SHOULD THE WINNER BE FROM A CITY THAT RESTRICTS THE SALE OF SPRAYPAINT TO MINORS, THE RECIPIENT OF THE PRIZE MUST BE OF LEGAL AGE. ENTRANTS GRANT IRONLAK PERMISSION TO USE ALL IMAGES FOR MARKETING PURPOSES.
****F.A.Q. NOTE FOR EUROPEAN WRITERS:
We couldn't do the comp in Europe and many other places this year simply because we don't have enough stores in these areas. We felt it wasn't fair to open the competition to Europe when many people can't get access to Ironlak yet, it wouldn't be a fair and balanced comp.
We're supporting Europe in many other ways this year, the comp will be open to Europe next summer. Stay tuned.
