About the artist
Fat Dog transcends the mundane through creation, typically with acrylic on skateboards. A wildly fun and colourful caricaturist who exudes a passion for hilarity and all things grotesque, bringing remembrance to the fact that laughter is pure medicine.
BY SHAYEKET PRODUCTIONS
Unapologetically Dressed was born out of Mill Street Fashion Walk — an Instagram page dedicated to a necessity to document fashion on the streets of Nambour.
Ketakii Jewson-Brown and Shaye Hardsity of ShayeKet Productions began scoping out the street style of Nambour back in 2019. As the fashion capital of the Sunshine Coast, Nambour’s streets showcase a visual smorgasbord full of eclectic, unapologetic and unique offerings on the daily.
Through sideways glances, little excited “Excuse me” moments, and obliging members of the public, Unapologetically Dressed is to Nambour what Vogue is to New York.

There's a Brisbane launch on October 28th @thebeardedladywestend with Exit Ploom , @pisssshivers and @oratory666 . Presented by @r.i.ppeace
Brisbane punk had a real golden era in the early/mid 2010s. The explosion of the more commercial side of hardcore in the 2000s had made 100s of teenagers aware of hardcore and the accessibility of the internet and explosion of obscure punk blogs had drawn them past the bigger rock star type bands into the weird and wild world of underground punk. Brisbane was also lucky enough to have a loose all ages venue that showed kids what total madness was possible once all the grown ups/businessmen types left the room and let the real heads run wild.
Out of that era came some total world class hardcore. Shackles, Last Chaos and Sick People were all total powerhouses in this era. There was one more band. A total sore thumb in the hardcore scene, but just as important and vital. That band was Black Deity. Some drug damaged maniacs playing bluesy punk. They still had cats going crazy and, personally, I saw them a bunch of times high as shit, and they always blew me away.
Black Deity released a Demo and 7", recorded an album, played a bunch of shows, drunk a bunch of beers, pulled a bunch of cones, took a bunch of pills then broke up. With the LP never coming out.
Now 10 years later, finally, the album can see the light of day.
Nine songs of sleazy blues punk tunes about self destruction and love and love lost. Think Black Sabbath for an obvious comparison, or Sir Lord Baltimore, Pentagram or Mayblitz.
@blackdeity1r
