Shida goes big in Chicago

January 24th, 2012

Shida is currently travelling around the world painting and he just posted this amazing large scale piece he painted outside of Chicago. Unfortunately the rain took over and washed away the final piece. HOWEVER, he managed to get a great shot of the wall almost finished. See more on Shida’s flickr page here.

Nine Lives closes its doors with French.

January 18th, 2012

It will be a sad day tomorrow in Brisbane when Nine Lives Gallery closes its doors in their current space. The team is taking a break from the full time gallery world and focusing on project based exhibitions. So stay tuned…

From the Nine Lives family:
“Want to take this opportunity to thank you all for the ongoing support over the last few years. We’re very happy that we’ve been able to contribute to ol’ Brisbane towns cultural landscape in some way or shape. For a long time this city’s been seen as the little sibling to its southern counterparts but we really do think that is changing. Brisbane has plenty going on and there’s a bunch of young creatives making that happen.

Come along Thursday, have a beer. We’d love to see you.”

Below is the flyer for their last show by none other than FRENCH from the UK. Get down…
