i got the chance to travel to sydney a few months ago to see Steve Powers give a talk and tour of his studio. I can easily say that his passion, humour and work ethic are a huge inspiration.

NEW WORKS BY ACORN
The word “planetes” is Greek for “wanderers,” just as planets wander across the sky.
The drawings presented in this show portray nomadic peoples roaming, gathering, and socializing in a seemingly endless forest where all possibilities are considered. Drawings from the forest series are an ongoing project, and they themselves are always expanding, evolving and changing with experience and time.
Originally from the west coast of North America, acorn has been working and living in Melbourne for more than two years. With a focus on traditional mediums he has spent most of his drawing time developing his craft with an ensemble of pens and inks. The characters and patterns in his work stem from no single culture or religion, but are part of an ongoing focus for creating something unique all together. An endless task.
No Vacancy Gallery
34–40 Jane Bell Lane, QV
Melbourne.
Opening night: Thursday 12th August: 6:00pm – 9:00pm
Exhibition Runs Untill: 22nd August
A self taught artist, Ghostpatrol has moved from the field of stencil art to exhibit his drawing based creations worldwide. He currently resides in Melbourne at his ‘Mitten Fortress’ studio. His work ranges form fine ink drawing, street-art, commissioned murals and soft sculpture. Ghostpatrol creates worlds. His ongoing exploration of hybrid animals and forests travels across mediums; from pasted posters to soft sculpture, watercolours and printmaking. His work often references childhood nostalgia and pop culture, with often quite sinister and playful undertones. From beginnings in stencil and street art, his current practice focuses on ambitious installation and painting projects.
