SUFF pops up everywhere!

SUFF staff love to travel – whether it’s film making in Canada, film festival hopping in the USA or searching for film makers in Germany… and so on…

This was a quick stickering in Berlin while on a tour (stickering *is* a legal form of street art in Berlin, with provisions) – hopefully we’ll get some better ones later on. Our apologies to El Bocho!

Turn your holiday snaps into SUFF competition entries!

We are absolutely loving these – thanks ‘S’ for entering the SUFF comp!

Comp tip: Going on a holiday? Taking photos of the SUFF face will help break the ice with strangers!

Latest entry for the 2011 SUFF totally legal competition

admin — Sun, 12 Jun 2011 12:06:00 +0000

We’ve got a fabulous competition entry here from new SUFF staffer and multi-talented Rhys Turner (sorry Rhys, no prizes – except for the glory of working with us, of course!). Among other things, Rhys has a comic starring this character (Muskater) which you can find out more about on Rhys’ blog. It’s another great example of what you could be sending to us… jane at suff.com.au…

New competition entry

We’ve just received this entry (called ‘don’t show my face’, by J), with a sticker from last year’s festival. Yep, we’ll even accept those! Can you do better than stuff on your cat? (And we wonder, who’s going to be the first with a SUFF tattoo?)

Send in those entries…

Ideas for the totally legal SUFF competition 2011

admin — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 10:58:00 +0000

We’d like to recieve a whole lot more competition entries for our totally legal SUFF comp than we have been, so if you’ve been thinking about entering, now’s the time!

We will accept drawings, pictures, photos – even macaroni art – as long as it has a recognisable version of the SUFF logo in your image it’s good to go. If you like, get a bunch of friends to model the logo for you. Or head on over to Reverse Garbage and create something out of the ordinary. Whatever you do, just enter a photo of your work by sending it to jane (at) suff.com.au.

Here’s a fabulous entry from Oba:

What will you send us?

SUFF dines out in style at Summer Hill’s Pier 26

admin — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 10:43:00 +0000

Recently we were lucky enough to have our staff meeting at the glorious Pier 26 restaurant in Summer Hill, Sydney. We literally received mountains of seafood, as you can see in this pic. Since the image pretty much speaks for itself all we have to say is the service was as good as the seafood.

We’re glad this place is Summer Hill’s secret. Thanks Pier 26 for having SUFF!

The totally legal SUFF competition 2011

admin — Thu, 19 May 2011 10:00:00 +0000

If you’ve read our newsletter, you’ll know we are running a little competition – and anyone can participate! All you need is to know is what the SUFF face logo looks like and apply this logo to wherever your imagination takes you! Then just snap a happy snap and email it to jane [@] suff.com.au.

It could look something like this:

Or… well, we’re sure you can do better than us.

You could also stencil the local stray cat*, sticker the back of your boss’ car, or perhaps your local tranny performer’s crotch (with her permission of course!) – whatever you heart desires. [Disclaimer: SUFF takes no responsibility for where their image ends up.] As long as the SUFF logo is clearly visible – although obviously the more creative, out there and just plain weird it is, the more we going to like it.

If you would like a stencil sent to you, you can also email Jane for this – or better still, make your own! AND you can enter as many times as you like! We will be giving away DVDs, festival passes, stickers, tshirts and more! Entries will be posted right here, and occasionally on facebook and twitter.

Winners will be declared randomly throughout June, July and August 2011.

*Please use edible colouring. Cats are people too.
