Bob — Sat, 08 Oct 2011 06:32:26 +0000

Ok, so. There have been murmurs of a big street art / graffiti festival happening for the last few months and finally all the details have been released.

“OUTPOST” is the largest street art event to ever happen in Australia and will feature over 100 local and international artists. Presented by the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust in association with aMBUSH Gallery it will be held on Cockatoo Island in Sydney, opening on the 4th of November.

The list of artists is quite a long one, and quite frankly, too long to type here so we’ll just name drop a few that we’re excited to see work from on the island: Everfresh, Lister, Ben Frost’s Past Modernism, Phibs & Co, Kid Zoom returns to Oz, Dmote, Numskull, Beastman, Jumbo, Roa, Ethos, Vexta, Minigraff, Zap, Will Coles, The full collection of Project Ugly, Shida, Sync, Ghostpatrol, Secret Wars, Max Berry, Banksy?, Ears, and so many more….

Quick trip to Melbourne

Bob — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 02:00:42 +0000

Last week we went for a quick two day trip down to Melbourne and were lucky enough to tag along with Go Font Ur Self* for the last book launch/exhibition of the series. We saw the setup, enjoyed the exhibition, did the obligatory Hosier lane, dropped by the Everfresh setup at NGV, saw a couple of the EF lads fitting out the van. Good (but incredibly cold) times. Check out some highlights below:
