Zinestars
So I spent part of my Saturday sitting in at the Tuggeranong Arts Centre, and ran with some sketching. It was arranged that I be there, for exactly what purpose, wasn’t entirely clear. Though I did meet a handful of people who wanted to kill a bit of time in the gallery. Zinestars is a…

Art, Not Apart
It’s that time of year again. Art, Not Apart cranked up again to be taller and more widespread. Instead of the odd graffiti-slash-street artist given a place to spray, there was an entire artists’ alley and other pockets around the New Acton campus.

Birth of Rockin’ Jelly Bean
I just received my limited edition copy of The Birth of Rockin’ Jelly Bean. The cover is pretty much NSFW, so I really can’t show the rest. I have been waiting for a Rockin’ Jelly Bean book for about three years ever since visiting one of his shops in Harajuku. So it’s really good to…

Megalomania
I just picked up a copy of Meglomania, a book covering the 33 year history of the Megalo Print Studio. I’m looking forward to reading this. I’ve played around with some screenprinting previously, but haven’t had the chance to go back to work on some more. Incidentally, I also picked up my three copies of…

Liedekijn Gallery
Well this weekend has been a busy one, as I have only just sat down to post about the Liedekijn exhibition opening on Thursday night. My weekend has been taken up by all things Liedekijn, including checking out a 1953 German copy of a book detailing the tale with old copper plate etchings. Below are…
