I’ve been a fan of the work of street artist Liza for ages. The very first Liza design that caught my attention was the woman above with the scary crutch, and I have since delighted in finding his hand drawn faces and collage creations scattered throughout the Inner West. I regularly post photos of street art... 

I’m impressed, yet again! Three amazing artworks have been created since my last update on the revolving street art exhibition on King Street. Ears and Birdhat both showcased their work outside the Crumpler Store throughout the early months of 2012 and in that last couple of days street artist Skulk has made... 

Nestled among a plethora of Italian ristorantes, gelato shops and pizza joints in the very heart of Little Italy is Tomatoz, a colourful Mexican restaurant and tequila bar. As you walk through the Italian Forum your eye can’t help to be drawn to this restaurant with its sombrero decorations and live music lighting... 

There’s only 3 days left before the start of the second annual Garage Sale Trail, which brings together garage sales all over Australia on one huge day! So far there are 5,719 registrations but I’m sure there will be more last minute sign ups. If garage sales are your cup of tea, you need to keep this...

It is a rich character study and a wonderfully weird and ambitious American road movie from master Italian director, Paolo Sorrentino (Il Divo), directing his first English language film. It is one of the best films to hit screens in 2012 so far. Cheyenne (a performance of... 

I’m a lover of design and the newbie in the industrial landscape of Alexandria, The Grounds, showcases an appreciation of design in every aspect of its construction and presentation. I drove past The Grounds about a month ago and did a double take because it was still under construction but it already looked... 

The next Fabric-A-Brac is less than a month away, and it’s great news to discover it’s being held in the Inner West. This is a must see for all Inner Westies who love their fabrics. For those who haven’t had the Fabric-A-Brac experience it is basically a fabric and textiles market. Stall owners sell... 

The building that now holds Gioia Café was once a rundown BP service station.  Although the skeleton of the station remains the petrol fumes have long been replaced with the delicious scent of traditional Italian wood oven pizza. I have been to Gioia twice now and highly recommend it. The pizzas come out on a thin... 

Nothing beats walking down the streets and through the lanes of the Inner West and finding great art on garage doors. There are some amazing designs out there. When I finally get around to fixing my dodgy back fence I need to find a street artist who can transform mine from a boring wooden paling fence into a work... 

Man, I love Hopscotch Films! I’ve been given 5 movie tickets to giveaway to the new Sean Penn movie ‘This Must Be The Place’. Check out the trailer below for a taste.  The movie opens this Friday (5 April) and its perfect timing to head to the movies with the long weekend ahead of us and let’s...
