GOAT Mag #1 November 2013 | Page 26

The punk and hardcore scene has seen its fair share of photographers. There was a little time there when it seemed every aspiring hardcore kid who couldn’t play an instrument was taking photos at shows and posting them on the ‘o?cial photography’ page. Thomas Hancock is a young dude from the streets of Western Sydney who has managed to overcome this trend at hardcore shows and express why his artwork is worth man than the rest. Thomas also plays bass for a new hardcore outfit Bad Deeds who are starting to get more shows and a little bit of buzz around the scene. While his mixed media approach to photography (film and digital) has traditionally covered bands on stage it is only recently that he has branched out from this. His new series of online posting explore the world of gra?ti and artistic ‘criminal actiivity’. With all this context in place have a flick and enjoy GOAT very first ever “PLUGGED’ on Thomas Hancock.
