The opera, multimedia and albums are the duo’s recent contribution the Monkey story which has shaped all our lives since it’s origins in the 16th Century, mainly thanks to the TV series as well as countless other stories such as Dragon Ball which looked to The Journey to the West for inspiration.

The resulting album has instantly found itself the canon of classics, along side Blade Runner, Kenji Kawaii Avalon, Rick Wakemans Six Wifes of Henry VIII, Deltron3030 and the Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. Straight up gold.

 I found this odd piece of installation art near grilled burger on Brunswick street and thought you all might get a kick out of it. A solid cement mobile phone with the message ‘I miss You’. It can only mean 2 things, this phone model is so old that it finally turned to stone or there is man made from cement who’s lost his mobile.

Aussie boy gets up

Red Bulls policy of fostering development of the arts while keeping a low, low profile means that they are one of the  most overlooked contributors to the development of Australia’s arts culture.

But with amazing projects such as the Red Bull Music Academy launching the careers of the likes of Flying Lotus and countless others, the BCONE events as well as Red Bulls support of the local arts community, over the years RB has build up a strong family of artists and designers.

In order to promote these artists to other members of the RB community, on the sly as always RB has launched Bulls Eye. A series of remixed logo’s by artists adorning the monthly slabs sent out to the friends of Red Bull as well as bio information a about the artists, this project is aimed at bringing the far corners of the RB creative community a little closer while spreading the word about the talent brewing in Australia.

The end result is 5 dope remixes of the Red bull logo by the likes of;

Bonsia

Since the debut of his short movie, Blu’s been keeping his good self nice and busy with a series of pieces around Europe, these are taken from his blog.

To me this is the epitome of street art, large as physically possible, commentary that falls under the category of “pisstake”  instead of “political”, unique style with a strong emphasis on interacting with the environment. Putting the check list away the main point is that its really mad, so enjoy.
