Winding the clock way back, looking for some halloween art inspiration. While digging in the archives, I found an old piece of graffiti I did. Frosty Boy in the style of a brain-eating zombie. I think I might redraw him and turn it into a sticker. Who wants ice cream? #graffiti #streetart #zombie

1 am (or so) Sunday morning pop-culture icon coffee post for @ruh-roh.bsky.social who I've accidentally assumed is US-based, and hope I haven't offended by guessing may still be mid-morningish where you are ☮️ PS: yes, Audrey is probably drinking tea, but I'm trying to be more positive, so...hope☕

#gangwars All the gyms in my area are owned by bikie gangs or crime families, and they’re fighting it out. Inside it looks like a post apocalyptic dead zone. The twisted metal of the equipment reminded me of a flashback scene from Terminator

A very quick, simple and very raw, freestyle #graffiti piece. Over on Insta, an old friend started the Piece for Peace movement. Hopefully they’ll come here in the future and kick Zuck to the curb. I’ll paint over this with something cooler some night soonish.

Gave the Pop-Up Art Wall a test run at #YarravilleFestival . I kept it chilled for a while, then let the kids go nuts. Even the local #Westernbulldogs mascot came and did a few tags 😀 Built for corporate workshops, it was great to see it could withstand the punishment all day and stay solid 💪

A quick spot of painting on Sunday. I like doing these advertising poster replicas. This isn't #streetart . It's just a #mural. Street Art is unsanctioned/illegal art. It is an important distinction, and it is what makes street art important; it must exist outside legal influence or restraint.

It's pretty warm in Melbourne today...so instead of finishing off rewriting a client's job application, a cold beer and a little time to admire the rad artwork in Dark Heart. I'll finish ghostwriting their job application after the second beer 😜

I never know what to write here, sorry, it's just a rad drawing from a kickarse comic called Dark Heart

Enjoying a glass of wine + surrounded by paint = 🕺🧑‍🎨🤦‍♂️ ps Seeing there's already heaps of evil shit happening in the world, I feel emboldened enough to be a cranky prick when someone says they're letting the wine "breathe" and they leave it in the bottle. Nothing's breathing, don't waste our time ☮️

#Halloween was never a thing in Australia, until Covid lockdowns - then any excuse to get out of the house was gold. Everyone buys the same shit plastic props, so every house looks the same. IT IS BORING! So, I painted these ply boards that cover most of the front tiny cottage I live in. #WIP

The letter E, alive, in its natural habitat with double serif flat-top...not hurting anybody, just some paint on an unloved wall in #melbourne surrounded by dumped rubbish from people exiting all the highrises crushed by high prices and broken dreams. #melbournegraffiti #streetart #streetgraffiti

it's a photo of graffiti, nothing special, just run-of-the-mill, solid but slightly rough graffiti, but not a whole word or "tag", just a cropped picture of the letter E. To be honest it's a bit roungh, maybe the painter was a little drunk...that's a likely scenario given the types of degenerates who paint graffiti at 2am and that the outline and highlights are quite wobbly

Painted a fun illustration for a whiskey label for a special bottle in a famous Sydney steak restaurant. The bottle's worth more than my life, and drunk by people with enough money to buy an island as the world turns to shit so that's kind of nice. @bsky.art #illustration #analogart

Some graffiti in its natural habitat. If you're wandering around the Southbank precinct of Melbourne, you may find this and some other fun art. Is the #purplepanther funkier than the #pinkpanther ? #graffiti #melbournegraffiti #melbourngraff #graffitiArt #burncitygraff

Childhood summer nostalgia. Where I grew up, Frosty Boy soft-serve ice cream vans were a symbol of #70's and #80's summer joy. A little cheeky painting of the iconic character with some 80's summer fluro vibes ☀️☮️ #streetart #graffiti #frostyboy #popart

I love a whiteboard...I know it will be gone soon. Some goon with a dirty, damp cloth will clean it, and it will be replaced with mundane scrawl from a meeting posing as a brainstorming session...but it was still fun #graffiti #whiteboardart #typography #popart #visualrecording #officeart #art

I still dig the old Disney cartoon art and style - even though the writing usually stripped all the interesting bits out of the story. Here's me 'graffitising' Lampwick a few years back. Not sure where a flick of the full painting is. #art #originalart #Disneyinspired #grafiti @bsky.art
