A Piece of Juddy

It opened onto an already creative streetscape, so expectations were high, and we eagerly anticipated the evolution of the space, which has been phenomenal.  For some of the substantial pieces click here, where I am collating a Juddophile Juddy File.  Everyone wants a piece on, or of, the Juddy Roller...

New BabyGrrrl, under an old stencil that has been around for years

Doctor is pasting some fresh cheese

Seen a few of these around, let me know if you know the artist (and below)

More Doctor, and Klara

This poster has lasted so long, with a bit if Lush, SF and DN

Klara (above), Doctor binning it, and I think matters are desperate for SF...

Lush all over the shutters

The Wall (s)

The Urban Cake Lady that for months was its only mark has all but disappeared.  Then along came Ruskidd, I and the Others, Kaff-eine, Klara, s-701A, Precious Little and Ishi-One.  SF and BabryGrrl are the latest.  I love this wall! p.s. is that a Jilt tag on the paste up on the window or a Jilt paste-up?

Love Hate Love Since 2000

I love street art, and it's not something I need to say, I am sure this is understood.  So I don't really subscribe to "love hate love" - for me what's to hate?  I even love DN and all his inappropriate tagging.  Actually, if you look critically, it's spot on for location, timing and impact.  But that's another blog post and one I am not sure I am wearing the right armor for.  I know I know, it's not street art, its an insult to street artists, it is not even graffiti, taggers should be shot, blah blah blah ...

I am a huge fan of making things easy (paths of least resistance were the easiest mathematical concepts for me to grasp), so true to form I Googled "Love Hate Love", expecting a pathway straight to the source.  Instead I found an Indonesian Street Artist.  Fucking cool man! But not what I needed to see.  A "source" suggested Love Hate Love may be the work of our Klara, Urbex Queen, new talent of the year.  That makes sense to me because her work has definitely been tagged with the "Love Hate Love" stickers. Post Script: It is not Klara's work and remains a mystery...

So I am afraid after searching this cyberspace we occupy I am none the wiser and this post has no point except to present Love Hate Love, Street Art.  Enjoy! Oh and I blame the Pooley 2008 Family Reserve Cab Merlot that has befriended me but as I write this post I have a sinking feeling that I can only locate a couple of the Love Hate Love images right now...  So here are those along with a few random pics to remind you how awesome Fitzroy is...

Klara, I confess to have a huge Art Crush on you

How on Earth do I consistently find more Will Coles, that I have walked past a 100 times

And the Brunswick Street Gallery Hard Rubbish show was a treat...I must confess I have 2 of the TV's - this one is up for grabs if you can guess the locale...

What is not to love about an astroturf car?

This is just the goods, can't wait to see more

And finally Birdhat, Melbourne has been blessed by your presence once more!

I have nothing to say

There is a poem by John Cage that comes into my head from time to time.  There are a heap of bloggers who talk about it.  Here is one.  So anyway it is called 14 variations on 14 words.  That is me today.
Here I have 14 images and they are art and I am saying it.
I am it and saying I have 14 art images here and are they?
They are 14 images saying art and I have it and I am here.
...okay this is too hard.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light

I toyed with calling this blog post "Resonate", because the Resonate stencils and paste ups through Fitzroy are what have inspired this.  But reflecting on the images that I have collated over the past month I have decided this post is actually about passion.  Love, hate, sex, anger and angst.
