When we think of art that leaves us peering into another world and contemplating the multiverse, there is one artist we invariably think of – Itch. Massively multitalented, and known throughout for his perception challenging, colourful and highly technically adept aerosol work (both solo and as a part of the AWOL crew), Itch is, without
The other week we had the absolute privilege to witness over 14 tattoo studios and 50 artists get together for the amazing Ink Dots Black Spots exhibition. Spread over two venues, the Vic and the Aviary, the opening night was absolutely packed, and it wasn’t a surprise – the calibre of the art on display
Over fifty artists from across 15 tattoo studios? Yes, you heard it right. Plus, it’s all for charity – this is big, this is Ink Dots Black Spots. “In its inaugural year this exhibition was born from the idea to share artwork from numerous artists to their fans & the public, whilst contributing to those
There’s been a couple of lowbrow group shows across the country lately – diverse artists banding together to show work that doesn’t follow the trends of the contemporary.

Having not been too familiar with Sam Hillcoat before we saw this flyer, we went off and did a bit of research and look around … and, must say, pretty impressed by the small portion of what we saw. Having worked in Brisbane for ten years as a street artist and tattooist, a lot of
Well, this is one of those rare occasions where we bend the rules slightly on our editorial filter and post up a photographic exhibition – because Nicole Reed isn’t your every day, ordinary photographer. I mean, just check out these awesome shots from the Order Of Melbourne Secret Wars paint up that put ours to shame;

Last year, the team behind Carbon Festival bought out the legendary Futura to visit, and this year, they’ve kept the bar just as high by featuring the godfather of all that is cholo art, Chaz Bojorquez. Whether you know it or not, but you’ve seen this mans work – or, you’ve seen the many many
Coming to you from the residence formerly occupied by the much missed At Large, NiceCat is a more than worthy successor to the Northcote underground art crown. We headed down to the newly minted establishment the other week to partake in their beautifully priced Montana paint. While we were there we got to have a
Loretta Lizzio is a new name for us, but when we saw a video of her putting up a mural last week, she captured our attention – then we saw that she had a show coming up in conjunction with Sean Scott, and we thought it’d be great to let you all know about it!
