WEBUYYOURKIDS is Biddy Maroney and Sonny Day.
They began working together in 2005 illustrating and screen-printing gig posters for Popfrenzy Records. Since then they produced tour art for such bands as Deerhunter, Dappled Cities, Blonde Redhead and Les Savy Fav. They have made album art work for Paul Dempsey, Birds of Tokyo and Youth Group and video clips for Paul Demspey, Washington and Belles Will Ring. They have also created alot of "non-music-based-work" for clients such as Skateboarding Australia, Tourism Victoria, XXXX, The Dungog Film Festival, Nelson Beer and Mountain Dew. They have been commissioned to illustrate for Wired magazine, Business Week and the New York Times.
They are represented by the Jacky Winter Group.
They have exhibited at Monster Children Gallery, Lamington Drive, China Heights, Cosh (London) and Vallery (Barcelona).
They live and work in Sydney, above a shop, with their two cats Machete and Ray, and a lot of mess.
In 2010 they are having another solo show at Mart Gallery in Sydney (March) and speaking at AgIdeas in Melbourne (April).
Their agent Jeremy describes them as an "unstoppable force of darkness". Their work has been described as "Harsh Majical" and "Fresh As Fish In Restaurant".

We didn't have interviews when we first started doing Studio profiles, so why not ask a few questions of the older ones and we can put them forward to get an interview. Hopefully the studios can come on and answer other questions too, stuff we didn't ask.
