The Hours Tower Mural Project – Beastman & Jae Copp
Last month saw the completion of the first mural for The Hours Tower Mural Project at The 4217 in Surfers Paradise, Australia. Curated by The Hours, the ongoing art project aims to bring well known Australian artists to the Gold Coast to collaborate together using the three storey high lift-shaft at The 4217 as their canvas, providing Surfers Paradise with a truly unique large scale and evolving piece of public art.
The first collaborative mural for the project was painted by Beastman (Syd) and Jae Copp (GC) last month, and the local guys from Digital Cinematix were there to film it all.
Big thanks to The 4217 for supporting public art on the Gold Coast, and for providing the huge wall to paint. The 4217 will be opening in a few months, keep an eye out for more Hours activity there in the future. Please visit their website for more information – www.the4217.com.au

Video: Dmote in Melbourne
While in town for the RVCA Caravan tour of the east coast, ANP artist Dmote got busy painting a heap of walls around Byron Bay, Sydney and Melbourne. We came across this video of the man himself in action. Pretty rare to see Dmote in an online video, so thought it was definitely worth a mention. More on Dmote here.

Festival: ALL FRESCO – K Road Street Art Festival
Ross Liew and his team show us again, why New Zealand is ahead of the game, but still un-noticed by alot of Australians. All Fres Co is a 3 day art event taking place on the famous K Road, Auckland.
Featuring some of our favourite NZ based artists BMD, Erin Forsyth, Deus, Dagar, Wert 159, Mica Still, HAHA, Component, Cinzah Seek, Ghstie and Jonny4Higher
Karangahape Road is a long time home to art and cultural activity that doesn’t fit the typical mainstream vernacular. It abounds with mythical figures and local legend from across multiple generations. It is an area of Auckland that is fighting to retain all that is good about grit and grime, to celebrate the eccentric and erroneous. All the while ensuring that it remains a relevant and vital creative community that is recognised for its value as a rich depository of cultural artefact and activity.
