NON-ESSENTIALS YOU’LL NEED ANYWAY
– sweating, stinking, partying, getting arrested in a tiny German town for indecent exposure. So I made a bucket list of hot spots where any sort of mischief and wonder seem plausible. Once I’m done with being a poor uni student I plan to see the real world. Perhaps you’ve had the same idea. Conscientious and determined, I set out to research and debate the ins and outs of lugging your shit ’round the countryside. And here it is, a list of the 10 most-popular countries for backpackers, an essentials and non-essentials guide, as well as a few websites to kick-start your own backpacking dream:

INTERVIEW
BY
ADAM
H AY E S
HOW DID THE KINGDOM OF SAD MACHINES COME ABOUT, AND HOW LONG WAS IT BEFORE YOU GUYS WERE BRINGING IN REGULAR WORK?
Again, it really happened naturally. All it was initially was a name I could use to publish Artillery. By the end of Artillery #3 I was hanging with Joel a lot and he rocked the outro spread of the magazine. From there I asked him if he wanted to join TKOSM and we started to work on projects together; eventually he moved his computer into my (bedroom) office and we were officially a studio. It took a while to get any kind of “regular” work, but it was always a struggle. OUT OF ALL THE WORK WITH TKOSM, WHAT WERE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE PROJECTS TO WORK ON?
I’m working with Ironlak doing all things marketing, design and photography. I’ve worked with them since the beginning, but when I was in Europe with them this year I felt it was time to step it up. It’s my first day-job since I quit Billabong. And that was what, four-to-five years ago? Joel is doing well with The Amity Affliction, and as I type this, is somewhere in the UK on tour. He also runs a new studio called Umbrella CS where he continues to produce better, and better work. Yimmy is in Sydney working out of China Heights as a freelance design guy. I haven’t seen Lochlan in a while, but I can only assume that he is still tearing it up playing amazing music. Damien just did the layout for a new magazine called Hell Yeah and is on the freelance design grind.
The Amity Affliction cover was one of my favourites. I always enjoyed working on the magazines though. Every single issue was a huge achievement.
I’VE NOTICED RECENTLY THAT YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY WORK HAS BEEN GETTING A LOT MORE EXPOSURE; HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN INTO PHOTOGRAPHY?
AND ON THE OTHER END OF THE SCALE, WERE THERE ANY PURE NIGHTMARES OF JOBS THAT YOU WORKED ON?
I’ve always dabbled, but I’ve only really taken it seriously for the past couple of years. It’s now one of my favourite things to do.
The magazines, ha. As much as I loved doing them, the hours that went into each issue were insane. Sleeping on the floor of the office for an hour after working for 20, then waking up; smashing some Red Bulls and getting back into it can be pretty harmful. Especially when you do that for a week or two.
WHAT’S YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH CLAUDIO KIRAC? IT MUST BE PRETTY AWESOME TO KNOW, AND BE ABLE TO WORK WITH A DUDE LIKE THAT.
ANY NEWS ON ANOTHER ISSUE OF ARTILLERY?
Working on it right now. I want to get it out by Christmas but we’ll see how that goes. It’s an uphill battle for sure. AND ON THE TOPIC OF ARTILLERY HAVE YOU EVER GOTTEN INTO ANY TROUBLE WITH IT? IN TERMS OF POLICE ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT WRITERS THAT HAVE APPEARED IN THE MAG?

WHAT ARE YOU AND THE OTHER KINGDOM OF SAD MACHINES DUDES UP TO POST-TKOSM?
Never been directly contacted. But our magazines were confiscated in some store raids in Sydney a couple of years back and submitted to the Board of Classification. All was okay in the end.
I met Claudio when I started working at Billabong. We hit it off straight away. He is one of my favourite people on this earth, but I don’t get to see him much anymore even though we only live an hour apart. We are just both so busy. He has certainly been an inspiration to me in a big way. Now that I think about it, it was Claudio and Amber B who inspired me to take photography seriously. He is a genius.
CLAUDIO KIRAC {artist, designer, photographer}
YOUR TRANSITION FROM STUDENT TO ART DIRECTOR AT BILLABONG WAS A PRETTY QUICK PROCESS. HOW DID IT ALL GO DOWN? WAS IT A CASE OF SLEEPING YOUR WAY TO THE TOP? The initial stages of my career moved fairly quickly indeed. When I started at Billabong there was a lot of opportunity to move into various creative fields; they saw my talent from afar and it was recognised which was great, but was also a very hard road. To get to that stage, to get the recognition, took a lot of blood, sweat and beers! I didn’t sleep my way to the top but I guess I just seduced people along the way with my big smile. WHAT WAS THE PROCESS LIKE IN GETTING YOUR NEW WEBSITE UP AND RUNNING? WAS IT A TOUGH JOB SELECTING WHAT WENT IN AND WHAT GOT THE CUT? The claudiokirac.com process was almost a two-year project, with three months of intensity and about 15 years of documentation! I’m lucky I started scanning and documenting reviews and art when I did or it could never have come about. And I still didn’t put everything on there! It felt really good when I finally launched it because it gave me a portal and portfolio to share with creative’s all over the world. Seeing the statistics coming in is a huge spinout because it truly is a worldwide web. It was a really tough job trying to get the ‘books’ down to a certain number of images because I work across so many modalities, achieving a good balance was crucial, but I really like where it ended up. The blog for me - moving forward is where it’s at, always evolving and always growing. Exciting times lay ahead! WITH BILLABONG BUYING RVCA, WILL YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THEIR DIVISION OF THE COMPANY? I am really not sure what will happen within RVCA as a creative roll. It is still very much run out of the U.S. and a major portion out of Sydney, although I am hoping to catch up with founder Pat Tenore when I go to the States early next year.
