We had news last week that one of Indonesia’s top street artists, Darbotz, will be heading down to Melbourne to have a solo show later this month. We’ve seen a bit of Darbotz work before, but we’re even more excited after having followed up on it all, and got a bit more info on the
READ MOREAfter having interviewed George Diamandis the other week, we were excited to see what he had been up to with this show and, damn, we love what we see in these pics! David Russell got down to House Of Bricks to check it all out for us as I was away, but I wish I could
READ MOREIn just over a week, I’ll be heading off for more distant shores (more on this later!), but, in the meantime, I’ve decided its high time to do something down at the amazing Blender Lane Artists Market . We’ve got a new shipment of stickers through, some tests of the new shirts we’re about to
READ MOREWith the Peoples Market recently launched here in Melbourne (we’ll get to that soon) we’re really glad to see that the guys from Lo-Fi (do you ever actually sleep, dudes?) are putting on another great event with the same touch of “market come sart come party” vibe as the PM, with The Projects launching this

Well, Safehouse Studio, of course! Haha, okay, enough fkn infomercial. But, really, you know that when a group of artists
READ MOREBlender studios is a constantly evolving melange of talent and ambition, one of the cornerstone hubs of art in the Melbourne CBD and an icon unto itself. In my many visits there (countless, really), I’ve been privileged to meet artists from all walks, styles and creativity. From new artists, to those who are established, there’s
READ MOREWhen we think of something that has gone wild, or is wild, or exists in a wild state, our thoughts often travel back to those Sunday afternoons in front of David Attenborough, watching the beasts in their kingdoms via for supremacy in the ongoing cyclic battle between “eat or be eaten”. Sometimes, when we wake
READ MOREOne of our favourite shows we’ve been to this year was Ink Dots Black Spots – so much to see, so much damn fine art in print form. Spread over two venues, it was a jam packed with punters and purveyors. When we saw last week that it was heading up to Sydney, we couldn’t
READ MOREWell, we’re really coming down to the bloody pointy end of the stick now aren’t we! Okay, excuse the terrible Halloween humour. What better way to start All Hallows Eve than to witness a battle to the finish between two of Melbourne’s grandest artist, Jack Douglas and Eleven? This is the round that decides who
READ MOREThis show has to be one of the most amazing we have seen – Shohei Otomo; master of the ball point pen. His work left us spellbound, as all of those who have seen the show would agree.
