These posters I put up around Fitzroy a couple of months ago are starting to show the signs of time. They kind of make interesting sculptures.

Hoola Hoops

Busy Ghost

Came across these pieces while walking down the lane near work. The above little man is a collection of beer coasters painted and then stuck to the wall.

Bush is back

2006-08-31T15:57:00.000+10:00

Finally got around to pasting up the remaining stencils I did a few months ago. Used some home made glue this time, my first go, seems to have worked. Guess the next couple of days will tell how good it is. It's a little easier to use that wallpaper paste and costs about a 20th of the price.

Poster graveyard

Brisvegas

2006-08-30T20:11:00.000+10:00

I was up in Brisbane recently and came across these interesting examples of street art. It's quiet different to walk around a city that is so 'clean', street art seems to be non existent.

2006-08-16T12:41:00.000+10:00

Got a new camera phone today so thought I would go ut and test it out. Happended to walk past this guy pasting up a face in the city. Nice timing.

The camera phone is pretty good, 3.2 mega pixel, and the best thing is that it shows up in itunes when you connect via USB. It's a SonyEricson k800i.

evil doer

2006-07-19T17:06:00.000+10:00

I pasted up a couple the posters I made with spray paint and stencils. I also used the negative cut out of the face to do a couple of stencils on the wall.

Not much to say about these except they are pretty cool, located off Johnstone Street in Collingwood.

These huge paintings are pretty amazing, they are just on a buliding on gertrude street over smith.

Random stencil art

2006-07-16T20:40:00.000+10:00

Here are some new stencil art that I came across during a stroll around Fitzroy on Saturday.

Badges

2006-07-15T21:31:00.000+10:00

We are getting a badge machine at work so I made some circles out of scraps of screen-printing experiments I had lying around the studio. Think I will leave the plastic layer off the badges so you can feel the tactile nature of the screen-print.

Alterations

2006-07-07T16:01:00.000+10:00

Walked past one of the stencils I did this morning and noticed a very subtle alteration.

Came across this interesting site, check it out if your like hand made stuff like the squirrel above. Georgie Love

Evil Doer

2006-07-06T14:33:00.000+10:00

Here is the final poster a total number of 11 were printed. It was an interesting experiment, using the spray paint was much more expensive that silk screen inks, the red alone used a full can ($12.50). I think also the loss of detail in the bush face makes it a little hard to make out exactly who he is, but I guess that's just the nature of stencils.

I am going to trim them down to size and put them on the streets over the next week or so. I am also going to try and use the stencils with a silk screen to see exactly what the differences will be. Stay tuned.

Sprayed Stencils

2006-07-06T14:28:00.000+10:00

These are the stencils I used for the evil doer poster, the red one is so clogged with paint it can't be used anymore. The others are fine, think it is just the detail in the red one that makes it last less than the others.

Stencils lessons

2006-07-05T13:36:00.000+10:00

I finished my first real attempt at making a poster from stencils cut out of card. It turned out ok but a few things to note for next time.
1. Paint matters, the dark blue is a crappy can from a hardware shop I found in the studio, it works but there is a huge difference compared to the red and light blue which is from an arts supply store. They spray much better and quicker.

2. Bleed, I should have left bleed at the base of the poster, that way I would have gotten a much nicer finish.

3. Make sure the paint is dry before putting the next stencil on top. The red stencil stuck to the white underneath, which is a shame as it's the most important layer.

Not to worry though I am going to mount this to a board and then affix it to a wall around the corner from the studio.

By hand

2006-07-04T15:54:00.000+10:00

Came across these hand painted signs on the way hope after the IR rally on the 28th of June.

Badges

2006-06-30T16:47:00.000+10:00

I converted some of my posters into badges today. Going to see if they actually sell, I will drop some at few book shops and I am also going to ad them to my main site when we finish the shopping cart. Let me know if you would like some.

The aftermath

2006-06-30T16:30:00.000+10:00

These shots are of the stencil I used the other day, I love the strange textures that build up of paint make.

Alley near the market

2006-06-30T16:13:00.000+10:00

Very interesting alley not far from the Victoria Market. I like the top image which has been altered, the original version was in the 'Stencil Graffiti Capital Melbourne' book. Nice to see that nothing lasts to long on the street.

Time to let go

2006-06-30T16:10:00.000+10:00

Also in Carlton, this truck has seen better days.

A visit to Carlton

2006-06-30T16:08:00.000+10:00

Came across these in Carlton the other day, nice and powerful.

IR Rally

2006-06-27T16:28:00.000+10:00

I made this placard for the big Union Rally in the Melbourne CBD tomorrow. It's a mixed media piece, constructed using paint and laser printout on 5mm MDF.

Legal stencils

2006-06-27T16:20:00.000+10:00

Came across these interesting 'legal' stencils on some signposts in Carlton.

It begins

2006-06-26T09:25:00.000+10:00

I finally decided to make a stencil of my own and put them up around the streets. The image above is taken from a poster I did for the Australian Poster Annual this year. It was kind of a test so I could see how the process worked first hand, they turned out pretty well after I got the hang of keeping pressure on the stencil while spraying.

Was fun and I am now planning a more extensive campaign, keep your eyes peeled.

Wandering

2006-06-26T09:22:00.000+10:00

Images collected while wandering around the back streets of Fitzroy over the weekend.

Paper as Art

2006-06-26T09:17:00.000+10:00

Came across a bin of shredded paper while walking down the street yesterday. Love the way the paper forms random compositions.

CD Wall

2006-06-26T09:11:00.000+10:00

Came across this installation in a side alley the other day, I like the execution of this piece rather than the actual design. I would like to know if this is how the artist intended it to look or if passers by have gradually ripped the CD's of the board. Either way it's good to see the interaction with the public.
