We love all the various different artist initiatives that come out of looking for sustainable ways of both living and creating, and this one is no exception. A bunch of our favourite artists have put together a new little project to recycle empty printer cartridge ink, giving people the chance to create rad images from
READ MOREIn 2012, local artist Wayne Tindall and Invurt began an epic multi-year project to transform a dilapidated laneway in the back streets of Windsor and Chapel St into a thriving mecca of street art on Melbournes south side. After a period of time running the project, dubbed, unofficially, “Aerosol Alley”, the laneway gained the attention
READ MORELast Friday night I headed down to The Silent Army storeroom at Blender studios to check out the latest creative endeavour from Shida – the launch of his book A Call To The Spirits. The book itself is fantastic, I picked up a copy, sat down hung over on a Sunday and read through its
READ MORETwo of my favourite artists, Ink & Clog headed up to Japan recently on a big spraycation tour – the result of which was, thankfully, captured-in-cam and put together into the mad DSRY OSAKA video.

READ MOREThe 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

READ MOREWe’ve been back in Perth visiting family for the past few days, and things have been pretty hectic (as always, we’re running behind on a bunch of stuff and our trip hasn’t helped – if only we could clone ourselves!) – but today we briefly met one of the passionate people behind the latest and
READ MORECorrect us if we’re wrong but in our memory, there hasn’t ever quite been a show like this here in Australia – and, as their press release says, possibly even outside of the USA. There have, of course, been solo shows and group shows by many great galleries featuring top calibre artists from both the
