BEASTMAN, NUMSKULL, PHIBS & YOK

Thursday evening was a treat for any kind of art lover. Ambush Gallery in Waterloo held the opening night for Beastman, Numskull, Phibs & Yok. There were two amazing rooms, one which held there art exhibit, with framed works, 3D characters in different materials & levels, which really gave there show a fantastic vibe & an element of elevating beyond.
The second room was filled with bold vibrant characters floor to ceiling created by all four artists in the art of graffiti.
i have posted pictures of the graffiti from the second room on http://defhi.deviantart.com/

Cuprocking

Was a pleasure to see Andy Uprocks work last night at the Ivy. Cuprocking was created by Andy with recycled cups, something he took from his youth & relocated it into the now of Sydney & beyond.
Andy's cuprocking has given streetart & work for people to see from Surry Hills to Bondi. An artist that is always up to something & creating from what is.
Just a couple of pic's from the entrance of the Ivy where Andy Uprock had his display.

SMC[3]

I caught up with SMC[3] a while ago to find out what got him into street art & graffiti. As we chatted he told me that he has always enjoyed drawing & creating cartoon characters for friends & fun.
It wasn't until just over three years ago that he actually picked up a can & began creating his fantastic characters, that you can see around the Inner West, CBD, May Lane, SugarMill aswell as his wheatpaste characters.

Lovelace at Art Sydney '09

A well known Sydney artist that displayed his surreal pop culture paintings at Art Sydney '09. Simon presents his work through Blank Space Gallery Sydney, with link above to find out more. Photography is also an art form Simon takes to the next level, with lighting & unglossed models making his pictures art of interest.
I have chosen a small selection of pictures to give you a feel for his work.

A place for local & international street artists

On Sydneys city fringe, there's a small established suburb, an industrial area that is a rich haven for creativity.
St Peters is thriving in the music, art & dancing arena locally & internationally. One local home for graffiti &/or street artists & there work is the May Lane project. This public street art gallery has been lively for a good six years now & in this time a multitude of display's & styles have been shown on the walls of May Lane. The local art space is the innovation of Tugi Balog
Creating a legal place for graffiti artists to practice there skill without worry of a chase & for locals in the area & passes by to admire there work.

Amos Duggan from Syd Art 09

Amos Duggan is defently one of the most memorable artists with his boldly coloured infused characters that create a very vibrant but yet pained feeling, with dimenson in there meaning these deer-man characters are defently something you should check out. A visual designer you can check out his site at the link above.

Art Sydney '09

Moore Park resently was a buzz with the energy of art. On my Sunday visit to Art Sydney, of the 3 day event 22 - 25 Oct. It was a fairly vast space full of some or quite a few of Australia's best artists. Several i was lucky enough to talk to & photograph them with there art.
A very full day with to much to see. As a lover & doer of art i would like to share the wonderful & diverse culture we have in Oz with everyone from everywhere that loves art.

Has the Legal System lost it's marbels

I have watched this video several times now & want to see if anyone else is
thinking close to what i am. . .



Is our sense of justice grossly warped to actually think that kid is in
an anywhere near fair situation. Is our legal system not paid to be
impartial & not to be swade by an angry town?
Do you think the result is out of line with the crimes that really do go on?

Please if you have an opinion, voice it. .

Peace to ya
