• Most of us don’t realise just how small our problems are until we meet someone with REAL problems. Recently Mambo received a call from Olympic swimmer and Celebrity Apprentice, @itsstephrice asking if we’d donate a bit of time and paint to Don Bosco House, a youth refuge for kids who have suffered abuse. This is a Youth Off The Streets program and very close to Steph’s heart. Our artists were out the door and half way down Pittwater Rd before she could finish the call. Father Chris Reilly and the kids were blown away by the results. See for yourself. #celebapprentice #celebrityapprentice #stephrice #stephanierice #mambo #art #artists
  • ALL HAIL THE CONQUERING #SOCCEROOS #Congratulations boys. A mighty effort. The studio is looking like the party scene from Animal House with a body hanging from the ceiling fan and the floor carpeted with #pizza boxes and goon bags. If we’re not here when you call, leave a message. We’ll be out booking our 2014 “business trip” to #Brazil (packing our boards and balls) ... after some serious coffee. #riodejaneiro #jesus #theredeemer #christ
  • Tonight's main event! SOCCEROOS v LIONS OF MESOPOTAMIA, for that final ticket to Rio. It’s DEATH or VICTORY! Our money, or more to the point, all the money we could shake out of our accounts manager’s pocket is on the home team. UNLEASH HELL YOU GLORIOUS SOCCEROOS! If you’re lucky enough to have tickets for the game, keep an eye out for our spiritual leader, Australian Jesus. We’ve sent him out the stadium to give ‘last rights’ to the Iraqi team #socceroos #football #win #mambo #regmombassa
  • Happy Monday from our 2012 Goddesses, @1jessicahart and @iamjessicagomes. #goddess #girls #mambo #mambogoddess #california #palmsprings
  • Mambo Leisure Masters by Jim Mitchell. Get a lifestyle and enjoy your weekend! #jimmitchell #mamboart #mambo #tgif #instagood #leisuremaster
  • Out of the archives: The 'Chick Magnet', Pro surfer, @dayyoof with a strut to die for. This campaign, shot by Nick Leary and inspired by Matthew martin's art, was in the big man's single days, when he was still on the market and attracting lots chicks and a lot of scratches. #dayyanneve #mambo #chickmagnet #nickleary #photooftheday #funny #instagood
  • Mambo pro surfer and kidnapped Kiwi, @jaytimquinn has been on an absolute tear of late and surfing better than ever. Quinny will be competing in the Mr. Price Pro in South Africa on the 1st July and if the way he was destroying waves on our recent team trip is anything to go by, expect big things! #flaring #tear #surf #mambo #jayquinn #kiwi #instagood
  • Here's @lukecheadle on an absolute BOMB, which is making us quite happy we are sitting safely in an office chair and not where he is. As a side note, Cheads is 6 foot 3 inches tall which will give you a bit of an idea how crazy this wave is. #southcoast #crazy #surfing #lukecheadle #mambo #humpday #massive
  • Here's a surfboard that every serious couch surfer needs in their quiver, the 'Chesterfield' by David McKay. #couchsurfing #surfboard #leather #photoftheday #mambo #art #davidmckay
  • Little bit of #Mambo #love !!! #public #beautiful #Australia #flashback #pda
  • Mambo boy wonder, Lee "legs" McConnell has just put the finishing touches on two custom art surfboards which will be bubbled wrapped and shipped off to the Look Good Feel Better charity for their Dream Ball event. Let's hope they go for a hefty price come auction! @leemcconnell #art #surfboardart #mambo #lookgoodfeelbetter #charity #photooftheday #tgif
  • National treasure & Mambo spiritual leader, Reg Mombassa has today been named Creative Director for Sydney's 2013 New Year’s Eve festivities, the world's biggest televisual event, with over 1 billion people watching cracker night on the world's biggest coat hanger. If his contribution to the 2000 Sydney Olympics closing ceremony is anything to go by – 3 metre tall BeerMonster cans tripping over an army of Aussie Jesus clones, this year’s event will be one not to be missed. Congratulations Reg. For more info, head to http://www.sydneynewyearseve.com/ #regmombassa #nye2013 #sydneynye #mambo
  • Mambo pro surfer and marketing dude, Luke Cheadle has had an alarming number of "sick days" in the last few months. We were worried for the guy at first but each time he fell sick it seemed to be on a day when a storm front was passing the east coast of Australia with a high seas warning being issued. We're onto him but we'll let it go as long as pics like this fall in our inbox titled 'last weekend'. #sickie #surf #lukecheadle #mambo #instagood #instadaily #photooftheday
  • Good news for reality television viewers and Right leaning fish & chip shop owners. Pauline Hanson has reconciled with her old One Nation party and is threatening to run for a NSW Senate seat in the upcoming federal election. Be afraid, voters … be VERY afraid (REDNECKS by Jim Mitchell, swingtag 1998) #paulinehanson #onenation #election #mambo #jimmitchell #instagood #instadaily
  • Flashback Friday: The Leisure Master was a lifestyle artist from the Northern Beaches of Sydney. He had a tan in winter, a friend in customs, and a set of borrowed golf clubs. He smelt of cheap drugs and even cheaper perfume, splashed generously onto the silicone bosom of the rich and neglected Eastern Suburbs housewives whose company he energetically sought. #mambo #leisuremaster #flashbackfriday #friday #instagood #instadaily
  • It's Thursday, the week is winding down and we are in a good mood over here at Mambo HQ. That means it's time for a big, online, pat on the back to another one of our masterful artists, @lukeokay. We love your work big guy #art #lukeokay #mambo #battle #upinsmoke #venicebeach #venice #instagood #instadaily #photooftheday
  • Rugby League icon and Mambassador, @benji6marshall is comfortable copping hits on land but we wanted to see how he'd take a 15ft back slap. So we decked him out in our winter 13 range and gave him a nudge #benjimarshall #tigers #rugby #football #mambo #winter #instadaily #instagood #photooftheday
  • Saturday was a good one. We loaded up the Mambo team van, punched "secret spot" into the GPS and drove out of Sydney. That's Mambo's Kiwi transplant, @jaytimquinn riding the foam ball in his high visibility rubber #tubes #jayquinn #kiwi #mambo #instagood #instadaily #photooftheday
  • Today we're feeling a little like ol' Dawson here. Monday blows! #dawsonscreek #dawson #mambo #mondaysucks #mondayblows #art #instadaily #instagood #photooftheday
  • Several blasts from our musical past. A young H.G. Nelson presenting the "Mambo Battle of the Surf Bands" shield in the early 90s, the legendary Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters rock up to Studio Mambo for lunch and a few freebies and Johnny Rotten from the Pistols in a custom Mambo Loud Suit. #foofighters #johnnyrotten #royandhg #music #instagood #photooftheday #instadaily #mambo

BLAKE AND CHEADS, FROM MEXICO

From where you’d rather be Friday. The latest issue of TRACKS MAGAZINE just arrived in the office with a big feature on Blake Thornton and Luke Cheadle‘s trip to Mexico. The feature, and the mag for that matter, has us longing for sunny weather, warm water and Coronas on the beach. Looks like we’ll be settling for a case of VB in the garage while flicking through a mag full of perfection.
