Born on State Highway 1

Smarties Australia have put together a cool project. They teamed up eight different artists with eight different kids to brainstorm and produce eight different works of art based on seven eight different colours.

Kyle,

I’m writing this to you as quickly as I can, while I still remember almost everything, so bear with me. And please, pay attention.

Remember that night in Rotorua? That’s how important it is that you read this. I’m not kidding.

Where do I start?

Given that I am technically employed to have some vague inkling of how to utilise social media in blah blah blah, Born on State Highway One is overdue for its presence on Facebook and Twitter.

You can now follow SH1 on Twitter at http://twitter.com/statehighwayone and you can “like” the site on Facebook by clicking that little thumbs-up bastard on the right.

That will save on random checkings of the site when there are months between me getting up the befuckedness to post something.
