I wanna give props to the Everfresh Crew. Thanks again for having us down on Friday.

I was thinking about your studio over the weekend, how it’s a hive of creativity, how some of the best artwork and ideas on the planet are conceived in a studio in this very city, by artists who live and breathe Melbourne.

The statements being made (like the one above) about “Banning the Can” are on point, and I wanna give props to Everfresh for flying the flag. All of you have contributed so much to Melbourne, whether it be with your talent, and most importantly, positive contributions and attitude.

So many people take your work for granted.

Whether it be photography by tourists, photography by locals, work being published uncredited in tourism documents and on the telly… we know it’s downright plagiarism, keep your heads up, we support you.

I urge all of you reading this to get the Everfresh Blog in your daily feeds and support Melbourne’s biggest asset.

PEACE.

Thanks to Red Bull, the U.K artist, designer, graffer,  famous for his highly stylized letter form SheOne will be coming to Australia for the No Comply Melbourne exhibition, so we’ve teamed him up with local lad Meggs for a live painting show the night after the launch.

SheOne and Meggs will be  live painting at the yet to be named new venue near Victoria market in Melbourne city, for what will be a dope exhibition of the two artists styles and a huge party.

More news, NSW show, ect, later.

I caught our homeboy Meggs preparing for his show Own Worst Enemy which opens this Thursday at Don’t Come Gallery here in Melbourne.

Thanks for having us down Everfresh. Lots of juicy photos to come.

Keep it locked.

There’s been allot going on with ths show since we first posted the line-up a few months ago, including some last minute additions to the show. With the deadline a couple of weeks away, its safe to say this is the final massive lineup of our show this year. Additions include, InsaneOne from Brazil, Monk from Adelaide and a certain Steve Gourlay.

Whether you love or hate this fixed gear “fixocalypse”, you can’t go past this blog, 2V. Two dudes, Cedrik & Viktor, team up with Eastpak to deliver one of the better photo projects I’ve seen in a long, long time.

High contrast B&W, clever use of fish-eye lenses and quality compositions.

After being in a city for 10 years, you sometimes lose your inspiration to shoot, however it’s photography like this that inspires me to pick up my cameras and shoot all weekend. I’m gonna be staring at these all day. Big ups.

Long time legend of the Melbourne art community and beard enthusiast, Nails is launching solo show at Lamington Drive  Gallery this Thursday.

“It’s called ‘Making~doo’ and is a follow-up to last year’s ‘Making~do’. I’ll be showing some paintings from that show, as well as a few more that were never completed, and some new ones. Plus there is a special piece by my mum.”~ Nails.
