  • Canberra Graffiti Project

    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 Trip

    So I spent the last week visiting family and a couple of friends in Queensland.  And take some time out to draw and write some things. I was also in Brisbane and took a few photos of the headline exhibition at QAG and GOMA – The Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art.  The show features…

  • New Camera

    New Camera

    I recently purchased a new digital, swapping out my old Canon 400D for a Fujifilm X-T1. Since there’s a nearly nine-year difference between the cameras, the long overdue change is massive. And now that I have a camera system that it lighter and a little more compact, I can take more and more photos. Whether…

  • Sancho’s Dirty Laundry Launch

    Sancho’s Dirty Laundry Launch

    So, Sancho’s Dirty Laundry recently reopened (after nearly a year of being closed) and I took a few shots of the set up when they had a launch on Friday night. The whole place seemed like it was finished only hours before doors opened, the stairwell was fogged with the smell of drying paint. Either…

  • Sydney

    Last weekend I went to Sydney to hold a table for the ACT Comic Meet at the Manly Zine Fair. I went a day early to check out the Friends of Leon Gallery to check out the Justyna Kisielewicz exhibition that just opened. However, I didn’t get any photos, because there was an official photoshoot…

  • Brisbane

    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

    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).…

  • Tocumwal Lane Party

    Tocumwal Lane Party

    So I heard about a group of graffiti painters were heading into the centre of the city to paint up one of the alleyways. Naturally I had to check it out, and test a new camera lens I bought. I kind of caught things in the middle of it all being painted up. I’m going…

  • Graffiti Iceland

    Graffiti Iceland

    So before going on this trip, I wondered how much street art and graffiti there was in Iceland. Well it turns out there was plenty for me to see throughout my stay on the island. There were numerous tags around the capital Reyjavík, but also murals galore. Akureyri, had plenty of the same, even in…
