Stickers, Tokyo

Street Directory, Sydney

How can you get lost in a city when there

is floor art like this underfoot ?

Crossing in White ...Tokyo

Music in my Bones, Sydney

Join In , London

Cool Couples 2 , London

Elvis spotted in ...Sydney

I saw this very cool Day of The Dead inspired bust

of the King in Newtown , Sydney, in the window of a

very cool shop called Holy Kitsch.

Little Green Leprechaun, Sydney

Grandma Chic...Tokyo

The streets of Tokyo have come over a

bit Granny ( with a twist) of late.

Spotted: thick ribbed tights, faded pink

textured cardies , loads of burgundy and

teal green smocks and knee length skirts.

I am sure they have knitting needles in

their handbags right next to there ipads!

Tongues, Perth

The Rolling Stones famous album cover

and tour tee graphics started it all, but lately I have

noticed quite a few out-stretched tongues.

Straaaaange Street Sign, Tokyo

All alien mothers please hold the hand of your alien-kiddies when

crossing the road.. arigato gozaimusu

Cool Couples 1

Some couples just look great in there

carelessly matching street style.

Here are a few of my favourites..

Grim Disco, Mumbai

I love the graphics I spot on the street that are a bit

left of centre.

This one in Mumbai really got my attention... how

could it not when it features Robin Hood on

roller skates.

Snacks on the Street.. Thailand

Pencil, Sydney

Stencil art is spreading as fast small patches of wall

can be found and creative street artists can get there

quirky and cryptic but usually provocative imagery

out there.

I love this one..

Bracelets, Mumbai

All that glistens is not gold..

Heavy Metal, Sydney

I love this heavy Gothic door with its

exquisite detail and wonderful use

of tarnished metal.

The door of a church in Surry Hills that

was bought by a celebrated and iconic

dominitrix /artist, Madam Lash.

No longer used as a church, this inspiring

building is now a music venue of sorts.

Inside those shutters..revealed

Shutters, Seminyak...Bali

Sometimes an idea can be so simple, but so powerful

that it leaves me gob-smacked .

As I arrived at this bar (interestingly named

Potato Head) in Seminyak, Bali, a fortress

of sky-high reclaimed shutters greeted me.

Inside was a mystery waiting to be discovered...

stay tuned!

Woof..2

The second of those 101 dalmations..

Interesting Layering...Sydney

Sometimes as layers of tags and artwork build up

over time, the resulting effects can be really cool..

like a kind of wall collage.

Woof, Darlinghurst..Sydney

I have always had a soft spot (sorry) for dalmations ...

blame it on Walt Disney I guess, so naturally I am

thrilled that dalmations have been popping up on

walls all around the suburb I live in.

Not quite 101 of them, but I will post more in the

days ahead !

More Anime Magic

The Japanese Anime phenomenon is now influencing

so many areas of pop culture including the beauty

industry, music and music videos...(see Nicki Minaj or

The Black Eyed Peas) .

Not to mention fashion with the theatrical ,

cartoonish , heroic or baby-doll looks being

adopted by many Japanese kids, and lately I have

seen evidence of it's influence in other parts of Asia

such as Bangkok.

I am sure it is only a matter of time before girls in

London and LA are donning huge false eyelashes ,

braiding their hair and wearing aprons with heels

on the street.

Dancing in The street

Last summer I was wandering around the river Thames

in London late one afternoon, and I stumbled upon

the best band just entertaining the crowds,

some of whom were dancing with such complete

abandon under the sinking sun, pints of lager in hand.

I love Europe in the summer as they really make the

most of the warm evenings and the increased daylight

hours.
