DOWN to BUSINESS

• What style of art do you create & where did it start for you?

I’m into most of the elements of street art/ graffiti.. stickers/ wheatpastes and spray work...started doing more stickers and wheat pastes but doesn’t seem to earn as much respect as spray work, so I’ve been practicing more on that the last 12 months.. mainly characters as I feel more at home with them...I started painting about 94 but stopped for about 13 years


• Who was your main inspiration at the start?

well at the start I was inspired by Perth painters dash and Shime, world class painter...what inspired me the 2nd time round was sticker artists mainly, my mate Rubik’s has a chilled house were we can paint so that got me back into spraying..


• What are you trying to say or create with your art?

Mainly interesting characters, something that makes you smile or think..


• Where have you taken your art or had it put up?

well so far vie had things up in Iran/south Africa Canada and UK...want to get up more in different places.. going global you know!


• How have you used your art to change your lifestyle?

art has influenced my life heaps in the last 12 months, I’ve been a Dj at clubs/pubs/raves for about 15years now and that’s even taken a bit of a back seat...when I have time its spent round mates practicing on boards or walls...I’ve found a lot of legal work, so a lot of my weekends are spent painting


• How does the community benefit from your art?

its free/colourful and creative...better than a bland brick wall


• With the boom of urban art & the many classifications such as street art, graffiti, bombers. . How do you view these styles & what would you like to say about them?

well I find anything that uses more than 1 colour is more creative and draws more attention, even if its a throwie or whatever...I’m not the biggest fan of hand styles/tags, some have talent and look outstanding...the other 90% I just find as vandalism...people don’t see the artist side of tags,,

ok ok ok
as we have come to the end...
just some shouts out..

respect goes to Rubik’s for getting me back into painting and giving me some walls to practice, shouts out to yes n Toni for having me round and practicing...big shouts go to all the Perth and Australian writers, and to the Deviant Art members..
keep up the madness!

Australian Graffiti for Heritage

Dirtfish

Another exciting artist from Art Sydney '09 was Dirtfish. Melbourne based contempory street art is his focuse. With canvas & prints a main, which are wearing these funky happy characters that Dirtfish has created. Another passion that he pursues is toys, turning his cool characters into three dimensinal mini, almost installation art, which he hangs hats on for a bit more fun.

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.

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
