Artwork/Artist Description: The reason we are here! A forever version of the can art design I did for the Hopo Poh IPA brewed by Bonehead Brewing featuring Cascade, Centennial & Chinook hops you can expect subtle floral notes, zesty grapefruit & pine to taste with a balanced bitterness giving this a real classic IPA vibe.⁠

Hopo Poh is the Rukz One version of an ancient God of Hops who cast spells of dark and light hops out into the world. The blend and balance of these two characteristics allowed for a fusion of flavours, creating peace and harmony among the lands of our tastebuds. Hopo Poh watches closely with his many eyes to ensure we honour the IPA and celebrate its tastiness with the ancient tradition of can cracking or keg pouring. Huzzah!

Rukz One was born and raised in the Western Suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. Often described as unique and polarising, he (and his art) swings between the simple and the complex. His art draws inspiration from skateboarding, hip-hop, the Melbourne street art/graffiti culture, and humanity.

Now focused on the Artdecypher banner and his position as Gallery Manager at The Corner Studio, community, and collaboration are driving forces in his work. Rukz has also held positions as a member of Wyndham City’s Creative City Portfolio Advisory Committee and the Wyndham City’s Public Art & Collections Expert Advisory Panel (PACEAP).
