About
Originally from Sydney, Phibs has been painting graffiti for well over a
decade. He is well known for his incredibly detailed cut-back technique and
tribal influenced style. Now in Melbourne, he continues to push himself
by bringing his style to new areas of design working not just on walls, but
canvas, skateboards and clothing. He has recently toured Asia as part of
K-spray and been commissioned to create artwork for Absolute Vodka.

Hey Phbs, nice work, seen your stuff around alot.
I come from ESPVisuals and help out a little with a crew called Adapta from London (adapta.com)
In 2007 Adapta launched a London Streetart exhibition in Hong Kong with artists such as Dface and Herkut.. it was a huge success and the second Hong Kong exhibition will be held in March this year.
Adapta is looking for Melbourne artists they may have gallery connections in the city to try and organize a London/Melbourne exhibition of streetartists/artwork… as I am kinda new to Melbourne and Adapta is mainly based in London, we dont yet have alot of contacts, and were wondering if you were interested in helping out.. simply by providing any useful contacts for galleries that we could pursue.
Drop me a line at philsyb@yahoo.com if your interested or want to know more… if you go to the ESPVisuals blog (http://www.espvisuals.blogspot.com) then search under ‘adapta’ and you can see some pics from the last show, or just go to the adapta website (click ‘english’) for more info.
Cheers.

Hey Phibs i have been a fan of your work for a long, long time now… even though i have not really associated in the graffiti scene, but always kept a keen eye.
I would just like to know how you go about tattoo designs.. a few years back i stumbled across a sketch that i fell in love with & since that day i have always kept your designs in the back of my mind if i ever decided to get a tattoo…
anyway dude I would be very appreciative to hear back from you
my e-mail is lukefurse@hotmail.com if you decide to drop a line.
Thanks,
Luke
Hi Phibs, I am a performer from Melbourne, and I am writing at the moment an application for Next Wave Festival that will be happening next year. The theme of my project is Human Graffiti, not a new theme by a long-shot, however, the way I am applying it is, I think. By taking over Streets, Lanes and other uncovered walls for the duration of the Festival I will be choregraphing 10 peformers in wall and pavement based dance – my influence at the moment is Butoh which allows for such an awesome degree of freedom and range of possibilities, it also challenges so much of what is considered ‘dance’ and our perception of the world and the human experience.
The reason for writing you this is that I absolutely love and admire your art, it is inspiring, it is beautiful, and I would love to get your thoughts on the medium of graffiti at this stage of our evolution as a species – yours is art, so much may not be considered art, some is still motivated by revolution and social change, what motivates you? If you had the time to shoot me a few words it would be greatly appreciated, but feel no pressure. And just so you know, I would not be using your words in the project or quoting you, unless of course I had your permission.
Cheers and thanks again,
Tristan.

Hey Phibs
My name is Jess Delbridge,I am a Post Graduate Honours student at the University of Western Sydney. I am about to undertake my major work; a thesis which is about the evolution of Australian street art from 1970-2010.
I was hoping to interview you about your work and your views on our street art culture, especially in Melbourne.
All interviews will be very informal and pretty short, all to be conducted over email or Skype at any time that would be convenient for you.
Excerpts from these interviews (with your permission) may be utilized in the book component of my major work.
Please feel free to contact me anytime.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Jessica Delbridge
