Polar Bear Poster, Sydney

I love discovering a haphazard arrangement of
images that work together like a 3-dimensional
collage.
Even though this beautiful image was just simply
tacked to a wall its simplicity and white on white
colour scheme caught my eye.

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.

Woodwork

This carved sculpture in Auckland really has something
about it that attracted me.
I think its that whole island vibe thing , and the use of
native woods and Maori imagery.
Very cool don't you think ?

Diwali

I arrived in Mumbai today on the last
day of the three day Diwali festival.
This is the festival of lights and amongst
the fireworks at night and garlands of
fairy lights in the trees, the streets are
decorated with these fantastic richly
coloured powders.
These designs are called 'Rangoli'
and they are created outside entrances
and doorways to welcome the Goddess
Lakshmi for good luck, wealth and to
ward of evil for the year ahead.
I think they are so beautiful even
as they get swept away by peoples feet
and the wind.

Stumped for a Title

Do You remember I posted the photograph of the great
wall emblazoned with an eagle located in Surry Hills
in Sydney ( the Eagle Has Landed, 28/9) ?
Well here is another fantastic example of the street art
this inner city suburb.
I will post some more in the coming weeks, so if you
like these, keep an eye out.

Love Letters

This wall is one of many in Sydney's historical area
'The Rocks' wallpapered with an artwork by Australian
artist Eric Bridgeman.
Normally bills like this one are posted to advertise a
concert or product, but many artists are realizing
the power of the repetitive image ,displayed in a location
that will reach a wider audience than inside a gallery.

Bringing it to the street ...makes sense to me.
What do you think ?

Horror Story

Type faces are heading down a creepy street.
All melting , goo-filled, clawed at and aflame.
Read these tags at your own peril...

Paws up Little Monsters

Photographing these artworks at
night gave them a very cool ghoulish
feel.
It made me see these backstreets of
Surry Hills in Sydney in a different
light.




Don't walk home alone...
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

What do Real Men Do?


This image really caught my attention
the other day on a street on Sydney's
great cafe strip in Darlinghurst.
Love it!
I guess real men are all hairdressers!

See the Signs part 3

Why are street signs in San Francisco so
cool?
they are colourful, quirky and just not at all
safe and conservative.
says something about the spirit of this
great city.
It also shows how design is so important
in creating life and amusement on the
street.
