Never + Always

I do love the underdog and his small but determined voice, his hand reaching out of the rubble and the grit of his determination. And it's apt to find the soul of the underdog rising up from the ruins of great artists work that has passed before him, in what I call the laneway of contention. Great names have been painted over by ... great names. So who is my lone soldier ? My quiet voice where champions have shouted rage before him? And could he be the most profound narrator of the time ? I have spent a year photographing the power battles played out in this laneway and he has summed it up with a felt tip pen, a brick and some plywood: Never + Always

Being in Brissie and Being on a work mission will not deter me from the blog. And since I have found a decent coffee my optimism has picked up (despite a tagger I hope was being funny by spelling Rabbit wrong). Anyway I will post now, flash later and hopefully come up with some good stuff soon!

You Snooze You Lose

I don't know if it was the glass cut on my foot distracting me last time (I really do suffer for your art!) or if they are brand new but a bit of activity lately in one of my fav little corners - a new Flake, plus an art critic has aptly deduced the art previously pasted as being the work of "rad cunts". I decided to revisit the broader area and I am glad I did as Shida and Capush had been around some time and a neat little paint job by an unknown artist with a fondness for ties made me smile! Further afield some fresh pieces on a blank canvas lane I have had my eye on. Btw Nufevah has been sticking a sold sticker here and there - cute. All up a good catch today.

Meandering

Okay I have been Out and About searching for art in obscure places - found some awesome kaff-eine up dead end laneways seems to be beginning to be a trademark of theirs. Some gorgeous Sim2 Mishap - reliably amazing, and predictably some Tres following behind like a younger brother who has been told to keep his distance. Most excellent art on my mind this week though is by Sparcs. Watch this space cos I am on the hunt ! And when I get to the computer will get the link to the Shadow Project exhibition happening soon Feb 4 Walls ... Check out Sparcs on flickr. Sparcs if that link doesn't work I will fix it very soon.

In the meantime, art in obscure places

Something Old Something New Something Vexta Something Blue

Okay truth be known I drank too much and didn't jump out of bed an hit the streets with vigor and enthusiasm. I did stumble down the road coffee in hand and purvey the immediate and obvious in my micro local surrounds, however. Some really cute pastings, doilies, cats ... And a huge Euphoriacs fan, quite prolific! Anyway starting to get interested in Lush so hunted a few down - I don't 'get' lush yet but I wanna ...
