On most Mondays, Mary comes by our studio and helps us with process of rustling up work and keeps us in order in between.

Mary’s friend Rowland S Howard – a founder of the iconic Australian punk group – Boys Next Door and the Birthday Party, passed away on the 30 December 2009 at 50 years of age. We wanted to send our thoughts to Mary, and Rowland’s family at this time.

We stole this image of Rowland in full flight from photographer Matt Sutton’s website.

Mr Sutton wrote of his image…

A few weeks back on a Sunday I walked into the city as I noticed around 9.30am the sun coming down king street was rather nice. I arrived there as planned to find the light and took a few photos. I had really wanted to go to Cockatoo Island for the “All Tomorrow’s Parties” music festival. They had one ticket left and I caught a ferry over and stayed 12 hours. It was different. I loved Rowland S Howard’s music above all. The Birthday Party with Nick Cave was where I remembered him from. I came home black and blue with some great memories on film.
