A selection of the countries best tattooers and artists came out to support the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society by generously donating an original A3 artwork. Curated by Toby Gawler and Shanghai Charlies Tattoo Parlour the exhibition drew a massive crowd, raised a bunch of money and showed off some mighty fine artists. The fresh crop included Mitch 13, Amanda Cain, Andrew Mcleod, Ben Rorke, Jamie Randall, DC Young, Jane Laver and Sam Arrowsmith.
Tonight at Lo-Fi Collective. Scott Owen, Craig Atkins, Slug, Sprinkles, Houl, Birdhat & Amanda Rondonuwu.
Freedom of religion has given way for a departure from traditional religions to more personal forms of worship. Infamous icons such as the cross or Mother Mary replaced by tools to create such as the skateboard or aerosol can. New god like creatures and fictitious fantasies are created to replace traditional stories of religion followed for generations.
Worship Nothing explores the iconography within contemporary subcultures.
Desmond Steel is having a show at Lo-Fi Collective next Thursday. This will be awesome. Massive wall piece. Beers. Get down.
DESMOND STEEL
‘DEMON HELL RAISER’
A new wall painting by Desmond Steel.
With his ideas rooted in Marxism and the 20th century European
artistic avant-gardes, Desmond Steel advocates the experiences of life being
alternative to those admitted by the capitalist order, for the fulfillment of human
primitive desires and the pursuing of a superior passional quality. For this purpose, Steel
suggests and experiments with the construction of situations, namely the setting up of
environments favorable for the fulfillment of such desires. Using methods drawn from
the arts, Steel has developed a series of experimental fields of study for the construction
of such situations, like unitary urbanism and psychogeography.
This Thursday Lo-Fi Collective presents “Delayed Reactions”. A group exhibition of works by Sydney’s DRS Crew.
ROACHY / NUMSKULL / THOMAS JACKSON / CAM SCALE / NEKL / TREVOR / DUNES / PLASM / TONY / SLIKOR / SNOW / SEKT / BAKER / RADIO / BADEN PAILTHORPE

Tomorrow night at Lo-Fi Collective (Thursday 21st April) is the opening of Back Burners, a group show curated by Sydney’s Warefare crew. A show bringing together some of Australia’s most prolific graffiti artists to display their hand painted denim jackets, a historic graffiti tradition that dates back to the late 70s and early 80s. See the flyer for more details and a full line up.
Does is one of the world’s most talented graffiti artists. His show “I Love Letters” opens tonight. Get there…
In preparation for tonight’s opening of “Here Today Gone Tomorrow”, ABOVE got to work late yesterday afternoon on painting his message big and bold in one of Sydney’s busiest intersections, Taylor Square. The show opens tonight, 6pm.
Over the past 4 weeks Above has been in Sydney preparing for his solo exhibition at Lo-Fi Collective. Check out the last in a series of 3 videos documenting the resin coating process. Oh, and get to Lo-Fi Collective this Thursday night at 6pm. First 50 in the door get gift packs!!!
ABOVE has been in Australia for a little while now, painting in Brisbane and getting ready for his debut Australian show in Sydney (and from what we’ve heard, his first EVER solo exhibition). Well known for his arrows and wordplays, we were lucky enough to get a few photos sent to us that indicated that his show will consist of a massive new body of work including both arrows and wordplays. From what ABOVE has told us, this show promises to be an eyegasm of colour & texture that explores the phrase “Here today gone tomorrow”, a phrase that has deep meaning and close relevance to recent life experiences he has been through.
