READ MOREIf it’s one artist who never fails to make an impression, its Lush. We’ve interviewed him not once, but twice over the years, and followed his escapades across the globe and there hasn’t been much from him that we haven’t loved.

READ MORELast Friday night David Russell and I checked out Baby Guerrilla‘s show at Post Industrial Design in West Footscray. The show was packed when we arrived.
