If you are anywhere near Newie you should get along to this. A milestone for public art in the City of Newcastle and Australian Street Art in general. With initiatives such as Renew Newcastle and now SAW (Formerly walkArtbout), this town is one to watch.
Here’s a few preview of the works that will be in the show.

there’s nothing better than finally meeting your ‘art heroes’
I recently met and enjoyed some long chats and cold beers with Merda and Kab101.
(whilst working on a project together in adelaide)
it was a real privilege to spend some time with a pair of inspiring dudes that i’ve
looked up to for a long time
Australian graffiti and street art wouldn’t be the same without them.
if you’re unfamiliar with their large bodies of work,
take some time out to visit their pages (Merda and Kab101)
merda keeps a super blog
keep up
The flyer has finally dropped for my show. I have only 3 weeks until the opening. Its going to be hectic, but I always enjoy this process. I’m also not too far away from completing a short vimeo clip as a teaser for the show. stay tuned for some previews of work that will feature in this long-overdue Melbourne show. Keep an eye on my blog

This was a very interesting commission i got before the beginning of 2011.
While i was painting the piece which took about 6 days to complete, i had dramas with counsel, cops & corporates passing by and telling me off.
End of the day i got praised by all of the above. But after a week i got a phone call saying that the piece was sand blasted off by the council / train station.
The reason was because the agreement of the project was not granted properly by both client and council, oh well.. i got paid anyway.
Enjoy the pictures.
Check it out if you are around Adelaide on that date.
Our second featured Perth-based artist, Daek , is not only a local babe-magnet and tea enthusiast but also the founder of the infamous Last Chance Studios .
Last Chance pretty much dominates Perth representing most of P-towns raddest peeps including the likes of Creepy , Sean Morris , Ryan Boserio , Kid Zoom , Tim Rollin (Graffiti on Graffers #6), Elliot C. Strang (Our amazing photographer this issue) and of course our man of the moment, Daek himself.

Australian artist TEZ is an all rounder, his art spans across an array of mediums including painting, sculpture, ceramics, screen-printing and vector illustration. Much of his work comprises of a combination of these mediums and often incorporates recycled materials and found objects. TEZ unveiled his debut solo exhibition “Sure Ain’t Sushi” at Sydney’s China Heights gallery in late 2009.
He resides in his “fibro castle” on the New South Wales Central Coast and more often than not can be found in his shed creating his next fresh piece or just plain old tinkering.
