It’s been a monumental effort by the man to put it all together, but Makatron has completed his book, “In Ten Cities” and he’s ready to launch it this Friday! Having seen a bit of the book as it was being constructed, its promises to be jam packed with awesome artwork, and a bunch of grand stories from the man himself!

“This ten year in the making book features murals and canvas works plus behind the scenes images and tongue in cheek quirky stories from the streets to the jungles in over 50 diverse locations from around the world.

If you’re worried about missing out on getting a copy, make sure you  buy/pre-order one!

I absolutely love seeing artists launch their own books. A lot of effort goes into putting them together, not to mention all the artwork that they’ve produced over the years for the content of it all – and this is one book that I cant wait to flip through and put on the coffee table. Makatron is a Melbourne artistic icon, and we can wait to see it all – so head down on Friday night and grab a copy, and enjoy the evening!

We’ll see you down there for all the crazy awesome mayhem of this special event!
