Last Saturday, we took ourselves down to Art Melbourne – like many of you probably did, if you’re here in the ‘burn. Total artgasm. There was so much work on display, of such variety, that it was almost a little overwhelming – it was as if we’d gone to twenty, thirty, or more different shows

Friday night before heading over to Tom Civils show Long Story, we stopped in at Egg Gallery to see Ryan McGennisken and Hollie M Kellys show, Sleep & Wake. Cutouts, illustrations, girls, strange dreamlike scenery and elements of the fantastical pervaded both artists works, and though they both have very different illustrative techniques, common elements

After having interviewed Tom Civil last week, we were really keen to get down and check out his show at House Of Bricks in Collingwood. What we saw sure didn’t disappoint. Street art meets folk art meets new meets old. Somehow, Civil managed to merge the best of all forms with his own aesthetic, creating

Due for demolition any day now, this dilapidated Yarraville factory has seen an extraordinary amount of work placed upon its walls. Slicer, Kaff-eine, Lucy Lucy, Deams and Lush are just a very few of the artists who have work in there. Dean Sunshine got down to the factory the other weekend to document as much

After cruising down to the fantastic Ghostpatrol show last Friday night, we headed over to House Of Bricks to check out the “Magic” group show. As we mentioned earlier, we didn’t really know what to expect – obviously, themes of Magic, but we were pleasantly surprised that there was more than one form of magic

Last night we did our regular Friday night pilgrimage down to Collingwood to check out a few shows. First up, we saw Ghostpatrols latest solo show at Backwoods Gallery, Cosmic Scale and the Super Future. This was a great show – the work itself was a further refinement of the direction that Ghostpatrol has been

Rone returned from London and Paris not so long ago, and not only did he arrive home after a successful exhibition, but he also managed to paint a whole slew of new pieces along the way. Check out all his pics from the exhibition he did at Zero Cool with Tom French, as well as

Last Friday night we headed down to 69 Smith Street Gallery to check out the group show, Weird, OK! This show was a collection of work from an array of young emerging artists, many of whom are just at the beginning of their creative journey. It was a pretty mixed show, to tell the truth.

Vandal Spruce is quite well known to Melbourne street art paintspotters, and when we saw that he had a show on, Anonymity, in Collingwood last Friday night, we really just had to check it out. We got down pretty early, just as it opened and before everyone had started to arrive, so we got a

One of our favourite parts of Carbon Festival is the Sneaker Freaker swampmeet that is held in the Atrium at Fed Square in Melbourne. Okay, so it’s not really art related (sue me), but its pretty damn cool nonetheless. After last years excursion we were looking forward to seeing what was on offer this year.
