Adelaide Road Trip
For the two weeks, I’ve been on the road with a friend to Adelaide and back. Included were a trip to Kangaroo Island, Port Lincoln and the Adelaide Hills. It was a good, relaxing trip, but now I have to get back to work.

Their Own Words
I recently obtained my contributor copies of Their Own Words: 40 Years of Canberra Graffiti, during launch as part of last weekend’s Surface Festival, and a result of the Canberra Graffiti Project, which I posted previously about here. The book is filled with interviews from the first people that sprayed ink to a wall, to…

Canberra Graffiti Project
Basically since I began this blog, I’ve been taking photos of graffiti and street art around Canberra. For a while, I thought about putting a book together, with interviews with artists. But the opportunities dropped off as I moved onto other projects. Last year, I met with some of the people working on the Canberra…

Brisbane Trip

Brisbane
I recently spent time up in and around Brisbane catching up with friends and family. It was a crazy week of camping, mosquitos, idyllic island life, mad long cycling commutes, kayaki, protesting about kayaki, and dragging a kayak through low tide mangrove mud. It was also art galleries, decent food, obscenely warm days, board game…

Brick To Canvas
So a little earlier in the week, I read about the Brick To Canvas show happening at the Aarwun Gallery in Gold Creek. I missed the opening, but wanted to see what was hanging on the walls, particularly of former Canberra street artist E.L.K. (or Luke Cornish if you know him in person, I suppose).…
