The Opening Hours Christmas gift guide

Bob — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 04:41:20 +0000

We are now half way through December, so it’s about the time when shopping centres start packing full with families, kids, grandma’s, grandpa’s and last minute shoppers. We prefer to stay out of harms way and shop online. Below is a list of goodies to fill either your or someone else’s stocking.

1. We currently have a rare zine/screenprinted bag package from Sydney’s infmaous SLUG.
At only $15 it’s a steal. Click here.

2. Meggs has just released a Boxed Edition T-Shirt which includes a hand screenprinted box, with signed 3 colour A4 screenprint & Meggs stickers. These look really top quality. Get one while you can. Click here.

3. Another Everfresh member, REKA has a few screenprints for sale at the moment. All are equally as good, this one jumped out at us though. Click here.

4. Numskull has released a brand new edition of one colour stencil prints with Stupid Krap. The edition is only a small 25, so get in quick. Click here.

5. After seeing her immense floating girl wall at Outpost, we’re sure everyone will be jumping on these limited prints by Vexta. Click here.

6. Off the back of his Outpost murals and current exhibition ‘Cosmic Nature’, Beastman has also released a limited edition zine documenting ALL of his outdoor walls. Click here.

7. Dangerfork is one of the newest print stores to appear on the scene, with their release by PRIZM catching our eye. Prizm hardly ever releases new artwork so this is a rare opportunity. Click here.

8. Finally, Gallery AS (as we have mentioned) have released a print with Mark Whalen (Kill Pixie). We have picked one of these up for ourselves and we reccomend you do the same. The artwork is classic and the print quality is second to none. Click here.

Photo Recap: Drewfunk – Parity

Bob — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 21:19:19 +0000

Melbourne based Drewfunk recently opened his new exhibition of paintings at Paradise Hills Gallery in Richmond. This collection of work was a big step forward for Drew. Compared to his last exhibition, which was predominantly neat line-work illustration, this new work stands out with a warm palette and boasts the fact that Drewfunk is a true master painter. Focusing again on animals, the subjects are rendered perfectly and have all been framed in a typical Drewfunk background/foreground. Fat caps and precise movements. Check out some photos below.
