Bonez and Stan arrested
January 28, 2006
It looks like the graffiti scene in Melbourne has lost at least two of its most prolific members, Bonez and Stan. I’m not a big fan of graffiti, particularly when it’s just tagging, but these guys are unbelievable. I don’t think I have seen a suburb in Melbourne that hasn’t borne the 70k tags. One of the first things I saw when I was up in Sydney was a big Bonez tag written across a run down storefront. It’s not just the sheer amount of work either, some of the tags have been in the most amazing places – tops of buildings, billboards, overpasses. Some have been massive too, going on the train from Southern Cross to Flinders Street you can spot some big tags on the tops of buildings.
So anyway, it looks like Melbourne’s big ‘crackdown’ has caught some big fish. As good as it is for them, it’s slightly disappointing from a viewers perspective.

Thanks for that info, I have been watching their work for the past couple of years. THey are everywhere, still not my fav, that forever belongs to “This is a heavy product” guy.
January 30th, 2006 at 11:54 pm
Yeah, that’s pretty cool. I like the superb work of the Melbourne stencillers, they continue to amaze me. And there’s always ‘Dolphins are people too’…
February 14th, 2006 at 11:49 am
I for one am not dissapointed at all these guys have been caught. Just tagging everywhere is what has given graph its bad name. melbourne is a world capital in stenciling. Stan and bonez work is shit. The price of fame guys
February 28th, 2006 at 7:15 pm
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
This has been driving me nuts! Bonez Stan appears about almost 10 times on the train trip to school (On the short part, from Finders st to school) and it’s been making go mental.
Can’t thankyou enough lol.
March 11th, 2006 at 11:58 pm
they ahvent both been caught anyway…only ,bones
March 13th, 2006 at 2:24 am
Hey, it’s Boony here, the cricketer. Umm… just wanted to ask stan and/or Bonez what’s up?
March 13th, 2006 at 2:25 am
Mark, I don’t know who you think you are, but you shouldn’t be using my name on random blogs. Anyway, what’s up?
April 18th, 2006 at 1:51 pm
Bonez is in Japan
Stan is in jail
They Are true legends of australias graffiti art No they dont do pieces but they do it in the best places unlike Vosk who just do it everywhere these guys are actually skilled
May 7th, 2006 at 8:55 pm
my fav piece of there’s was as on a building across from the melb aquarium. it was on a billboard at the very top of a building. it was basic but so good how they got up there. good stuff guys
May 7th, 2006 at 10:37 pm
Yep, that was the one I was thinking of, pretty amazing. There’s another huge one on the roof of a warehouse or similar somewhere, but I can’t remember where.
May 9th, 2006 at 11:50 am
iv been in the werehouse at clifton hill were the pieces of stan and bones is and i dont no how they got on tha roof. they are crazy bombers
May 25th, 2006 at 3:30 am
Dolphins are people too appeared on the bowl of fitzroy skatepark. Pretty Funny. -d
June 8th, 2006 at 7:35 pm
So this is the latest, BONEZ arrested 5 years prison plus a huge fine as an add on and Stanley is curently in France, but when his visa there runs the Victorian Police will have him in custody when he exits the airport…. enjoy
June 11th, 2006 at 3:18 am
Bonez and Stanley are kings.
June 15th, 2006 at 11:07 pm
70k still lives, its not just bonez and stan
July 8th, 2006 at 11:24 pm
ahhh….stan bonez 70K….. i love the childishness of the tag but what really trips me out the most is the fact that it is EVERYWHERE. At first i thought it was just in the city but then i noticed it in suburbia…
July 17th, 2006 at 7:27 pm
Thanks for that info, I have been watching their work for the past couple of years. THey are everywhere, still not my fav, that forever belongs to “This is a heavy product” guy.
—> for your information that was bonez before 70k
July 26th, 2006 at 1:55 am
bonez and rencs were piecing and bombing way before 70k was formed. check out a freight yard and see how many rencs throwies you see.
to the haters who say 70k made graff shit, shut the fuck up, dont talk shit about something you know nothing about.

October 2nd, 2006 at 10:06 pm
stan and bonez work is amazing they should not have been caught they may not have been the best at “graffiti” but there work was excellent.
October 13th, 2006 at 1:33 pm
Bonez and Stan seem to hang out with Meow and Renks as well. The really old Renks stuff was in Bubble writing… must have been before he met up with Bonez.
October 16th, 2006 at 9:48 pm
bones and stan are gutsy, they get in good spotts, but bones is a fuken toy cunt, stan is no king, they made melbourne look shit, all of 70k is shitty peices or rollyies, i have only seen one good peice of work from stan, it was a throwie in sth melb, there lucky not to be capped by the modern SKILLED writers, peace

I’d like to ask people to tell me the whole story about this stan and bonez so called duo.
I was on my way from melbourne airport when i first noticed the huge “stanley bonez” gaff. also on my train ride to the city i saw the same tag. but i wouldnt call it a tag. i looked closer and it looks to be painted with a brush. not a spray can.
i later saw in sydney the same tag. these guys get around.
whats the deal?
January 17th, 2007 at 5:23 pm
please can someone show me somewhere i can see the dvd? please??
January 17th, 2007 at 10:49 pm

ok 1st, not ‘peaces’ its pieces. 2nd not ‘graph’ its graff short for graffiti.. 3rd stan and bones are not caught, both were raided and stan was never arrested for questioning. they didnt take it serious enough and released bonez on bail. both fleeing to europe… not that you see that blowing up in the paper like them getting ‘busted’. 4th vosko had to go to court on the 17/1/07 for ‘NHR’ and ‘yeh i write’. long live FTK. get all your facts straight before you run around pretending to know what you are talking about. peace

March 20th, 2007 at 4:32 pm
70K are the kings of bombing in melbourne, along with peazer and zork.
Its Bonez, Renks, Stan, Carl, Peezor, Zork. They are the guys that bombed the hardest and the best. Vosk bombed but is a tryhard toy.
Anyway 70K beat the cops. Bonez n stan are holydaying in Europe and Renks beat his case. I saw it in the paper the other day. Dude didnt even get convicted.
70K are geniouses.
March 20th, 2007 at 5:34 pm
sickcunts
fuck yeah to the above.
Just saw the paper other day.
Renks walked free.
Kingz.
March 23rd, 2007 at 5:52 pm
We’ll still be seeing 70k tags when we’re on the pension. They’re the best writers to ever live in Melbourne.
March 25th, 2007 at 5:10 pm
got any proof of the renks article?
April 3rd, 2007 at 3:10 pm
i thought he might be renks, but am not 100% shure, as they only mentioned he had a renks blackbook. can anyone confirm that it was renks? dont bother sayin it was if you have no fuckin idea either.
April 6th, 2007 at 9:48 pm
stan and bones are ledgends, they have bombed in place what look impossible to reach.Vosko is up, but he capps cunts.
April 9th, 2007 at 5:22 pm

April 17th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
someone’s got to get the 70k vid up
April 19th, 2007 at 3:48 pm
Do a search on the herald-sun newspaper site. Renks escaped conviction but was ordered to pay $30,000 for damages.
April 20th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
Renks wont have to pay $30,000. Ive known a few people that have got big fines, they pay a couple of grand and then it gets forgotten.
April 20th, 2007 at 10:05 pm
if you cant get the 70k vid yourself, then you dont desurve to see it
May 4th, 2007 at 10:44 pm
I just wanna say that i dont have a 70k tag in my suburb in melbourne and its near train lines

October 21st, 2008 at 12:55 am
Thanks for that info, I have been watching their work for the past couple of years. THey are everywhere, still not my fav, that forever belongs to “This is a heavy product” guy.
THAT WAS BONEZ BEFORE THE 70K days, when he used to write “bob”
March 17th, 2009 at 1:38 am
You people do not have the slightest chances wat you are on about. These guys are just doing what they do, Graffiti is not a reason to go to jail for…its pointless vandalism that can be cleaned off anyway. 70k have got to be respected in the 'graph' world. And for the people who think they are just taggers, maybe you should look around for wat some pieces say, “STAN” “BONEZ” “RENKS” “GEEK” etc…
This is just my opinion
March 22nd, 2009 at 11:49 pm
Stan and Bonez are kings for many reasons, any cunt who says theyre toys are fucking ignorant wana-b's who are without doubt toys themselfs, just because you dont like the style, dosnt mean its shit. VOSKO IS A INFORMANT DOG, how can you be done graffin and dealin smack so many times without convictions and jail time?
March 30th, 2009 at 6:20 am
you fuckin idiot how has tagging given graph a bad name when it originated from people tagging
April 10th, 2009 at 6:56 am
We will be back in 2010 suckers with two new words, reviving 70k! 1970's kids will never die!

Stan Bonez & Renks along with Meow, Are by far Melburns BEST! And are the notorious Kings and always will be!
April 22nd, 2010 at 4:24 am
They make no effort in style and flood the place with shit. Mainly give graff a bad name from an outsider perspective. I give these guys credit for HOW MUCH they have got up, but where has the style gone, seriously.
I take note of above comments about toys saying these guys are toys, but their stlyes are seriously coming out of kindergarten and if you cant see that then your the ignorant one.
Leave bombing to people with a diverse bombing stlye, eg. zork and peaser.
May 7th, 2010 at 4:42 am
yeah me to i thourgh that they went there and got cort graffin there :S
May 7th, 2010 at 4:48 am

There real writers because they hit panels and you cant call yourself a true writer if you dont hit panels, there style is their own style, thats how what there known for? stan is known for his absorb letters and bones is known for his bones and lines. thats his style. shut the fuck up and stay out of this scene because you obviously dont belong or no anything about it.
