Jalapeño mayo on errthang. 'Round these parts, the kids call me the Spice King (they don't) and I brandish a Sriracha staff and a cape embellished with black chilli. Flame grilled patties are a favourite and it takes me back to the days I almost landed a job at Hungry Jacks.

Almost.

Here's a fire-breathing, spice delight - my Dragon Burger! D:<

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Golly wolly! 2013 has seen a myriad of events from having three different Prime Ministers to seeing Disney's sweetheart, Miley Cyrus, become the apparent inventor of '#twerking'. I travelled overseas for the first time this year, ticking off 4 countries in the process and I completed my university degree in Design with an outstanding range of marks from masterful HD's to just scrapping through with a 51/100. This year has been a very lucky year to say the least! Today marks the beginning of something new. The plans you make today, should influence the decisions you make down the track. 2013's burger is finished, time to start over; a clean plate (not slate). I wish everyone the best of luck this year, in whatever you choose to do. Remember: Work harder than everyone else. 2014, here we come!

Phnom Penh!

On my last day in Phnom Penh I met up with Peap Tarr, acclaimed art bandit and super-thug nice guy. Being the busy man that he was, we we able to just squeeze in a paint amongst the protesting and pre-christmas madness. Peap educated us on both his back story and the art scene in Cambodia. Trotting on behind markets and stores that come to the lip of the road, we found a nice little space where children were playing soccer with a bamboo ball. As soon as we started to throw paint onto the walls, the children gathered and laughed. Peap lent them some brushes and his paint and they all joined in on the fun! We both smashed out some quick things - the local paint was terrible, but it was sure fun! An amazing way to end the trip, painting a big production with one of South-East Asia's finest artists and future artisans on Phnom Penh! Now to Malaysia!

Cheesy Christmas! Ah the Holiday season. A time of cheer and warm fuzzy feelings. The year has passed by so quickly and what a ride it's been! Thanks to everyone for supporting me from the very start and all those who have just joined the burgerventure  Have a very special Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take a break, have fun, enjoy friendship and most importantly, stay safe. Lots of love from the burger boy, Mike Eleven

GOLLY WOLLY! What a wild adventure. Thailand moves at thrice the speed of Melbourne and it's thrice as big! From the great fast food to me trying to speak Thai, it's been a really great trip. Of course, no trip feels perfect without a little bit of trouble... Next stop, Cambodia!

PARTAY PARTAY PARTAY!

Water should never be close to drunk tourists, NEVER! Doing some last-minute dashes through the city, picking up magazines and hunting down Hawaiian-themed clothing for the party were just some of the day’s missions. Though it all sounds out of order, the universe was nice enough to arrange my dates - 11/12/13 ;D 

Breakbot was a world I was so unaware of. Needless to say, I took advantage of the situation and stuck stickers up all over (even on the inflatable shark :P ).

Party in Bangkok - Check~

BKK TIGER STYLE A holiday just isn't complete without some painting. I went out yesterday with a friend from Melbourne and we painted along the canal in Bangkok. Tourists on boats stared as they went past and the locals would just smile and nod their heads. I met some German writers and a New Yorker, who despite not having any battery on his phone, said he would remember my name... In his soul ^____^"

CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY Third day in and it's getting hard to get up in the mornings! We've been trying to cram in as much adventure into each day as possible and as a result, I may need to buy some new T-shirts (no T-shirt should be subject to this much sweat  ). We caught up with a friend from Melbourne and he took us around to some radical hideaways around Bangkok. I may of had the best burger in Thailand last night at Esca Burgers & Shakes, who's aesthetic is motorbikes, tattoos and black - super cool. We also ventured down Khaosan Road which was...eventful and finished up at a cool little art cafe/bar called JAM. Tonight we're seeing Breakbot play...golly wolly

I'm Lovin' It! First day in Bangkok done. I'm already in love with the pace of the city and the urban landscape. The street dawgs are abundant and the billboards here are incredibly massive! We knocked out a fair few shopping malls to see what it was like and boy does a 7-storey shopping mall take the energy out of you, not to mention money  Thai's have the burger game down patty'd. They've got McThailand, KFT, Thai Burger King, MOS Burger and from what I've heard, they even do sticky rice burgers! East, definitely meats west here~ (Fully aware of the protests today, we'll try to steer clear  )

BURGER ABROAD ASIA! So, as soon as I arrived back home, I was packing to leave the country again! Someone would think I liked having my ears pop and sleeping awkwardly on planes with the amount of travel that has been going on. Currently sitting in transit at Kuala Lumpur, I'm off to Thailand and Cambodia to seek out the burgers from the East! I'll will endeavour to update you all on my wild adventures. Wish me luck, I'll be home soon  x

On our last night in Auckland, me and @smick_one headed out for a spot of exploring. Knocked out this fella in 40 minutes before we zoomed off. Ahhh memories :) #thedoubleone #burger #aucklandburger

BURGER ABROAD! Today marks a very special day for me as I have FINALLY left the country! I flew over to Auckland, New Zealand on my own. It was my first overseas flight ever and I didn't even need anyone to hold my hand. Golly wolly, I think I've caught the travel burg~ The first day has been a blast! I saw black sand, ate giant pizza, ate a burger, did some crazy mountain-top Tokyo drifting (not really) and I've stopped wearing shoes. I'll be home soon! x

"The greatest art murder in history." - MERES ONE As many slept through their Monday night, the legendary graffiti landmark 5 Pointz was poorly whitewashed. Many people out in Long Island woke up to see that the hall of fame had been erased, leaving the once iconic piece of the city in a state of complete misery. It was stripped of its glory in preparation for a pair of luxury high-rise buildings. A place that once brought together people from all points of the world in celebration of one art movement is now a place to mourn the biggest scar on graffiti. Rest in pieces 5 Pointz.

Today was a good day! Why? Well, Hangin With The Homies just dropped their second series of air fresheners! Yes, I realise the weather was a little gloomy, but how can you be blue when you're hanging out with Ice Cube in your car?! I designed the characters for the latest range which includes Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg and Tupac! At $5 a piece, those are some very cheap homies to have! http://www.hanginwiththehomies.com/
