Here’s an old set of photos from the first letterheads show organized by KidReksi and myself a few years ago at WoodenShadow.

I setup and ran WoodensShadow in an abandoned warehouse in downtown Richmond and it was the site of epic parties and also a tetanus ridden tinderbox that at any one night could of wiped out the entire Melbourne art scene in a fiery ball of death. Letterheads was an exhibition of remixed letters of the alphabet by Australian artists met with Chairman Mao and Flying Lotus thanks to RBMA.

Reka and I are currently trying to motivate each other into nutting out Letterheads 2 so i thought i’d post some shots, stir the creative juices and whatnot.

Highlights from the massive and Villain Toy Show currently on display at No Vacancy Melbourne. The show stars a series of customs based on a new figure designed and produced by Melbourne artist Claudio Mantuano, amongst the usual collection of Qee’s, Trexi’s and all other crap that people customize for these shows. The sheer creativity and craftmanship of this show sets it apart.

Claudio’s work seen here in mighty bronze.
