Outpost Festival

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….

Check out some more info on the project here.

Darlinghurst Car Wash

Bob — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 05:30:12 +0000

Alot of art in Darlinghurst is hidden away in the back alleys and streets, which often makes it enjoyable to walk around and discover.

One spot which stands out for us is the Darlinghurst car wash on Victoria st/Darlinghurst rd. Now also the home of a massive JumboZap text poster.

The wall was painted in 2004 by Numskull, Teazer, Minigraff, Vexta, Zap, Delpar and Imago.

A Jumbo of a rip

Bob — Mon, 14 Dec 2009 22:15:58 +0000

Brands that steel and rip off artwork is (unfortunately) no new thing to graffiti and street artists. It seems that some art departments think that if it’s outside in public view, then it’s ok to take a photo and reproduce it. WRONG… Read more about how Industrie ripped off local space man ZAP. (take from Jumbo’s blog)
