Ironlak Avt Paints Pty Ltd
THE PERFECT TOOLS TO EXPRESS YOUR CREATIVITY. The Ironlak dream began in 2002, when a young aerosol artist from Sydney wanted to offer Australian artists a premium spray paint brand at an affordable price. As the first Ironlak cans rolled onto shelves in 2004, the price of premium spray paint was cut dramatically, opening up a whole new world of possibilities for Australian artists. In 2008 Ironlak moved production offshore. This came with the opportunity to measure quality control more stringently, the production of a higher quality product and centralised global distribution through an Ironlak owned and operated factory. Driven by the necessity to develop and distribute products to a niche market, Ironlak gained the expertise and confidence to extend its reach and explore new territory. Today Ironlak is the leading choice for artists in over 50 countries around the world. This growth and the unwavering loyalty of our customers provided the opportunity to expand our range. With meticulous research and development, Ironlak is focused on providing a comprehensive portfolio of products; sharing the same quality and value for money that aerosol artists have appreciated for years, with the wider art community, providing all artists with the perfect tools to express their creativity.

Bababa International
Bababa International was set to become an icon of 21st century living, helping to transform the perennial problem of habitat into a fully resolved and comprehensively final built environment. Planned for every major city in the world, Bababa International was the total apartment building, able to accommodate as many tenants as there is demand, with no upper limits on the number of souls its concrete frame could accommodate in both style and comfort. Unfortunately, the project was deemed unfavourable by a coterie of private and public interests and was thus unable to raise even a modicum of the vast amounts of capital required to fund it's realisation. Subsequently drummed out of business the developers behind the venture were forced to liquidate their entire business, right down to the name they had developed for the project. As yet, the new owners of the Bababa International name have yet to publicy state their intentions for it. We can only hope their purpose is half as optimistic as the future for which it was originally conceived.
