The History of a Wall
I am completely addicted to taking photos of street art and one of the reasons is because it is such a temporary artform. One day I will be walking past a completely blank wall, the next it is covered by an amazing design, the following day another artist has added to it and its possible that next week it could be completely painted over and be a blank canvas again.
I have several locations and streets...
Interview: Street Artist BEASTMAN
There wouldn’t be many people who haven’t heard of street artist Beastman. His work is instantly recogniseable and everyone has had a chance to see his recent work in Art & About Sydney (Streetware 2011), “Transient” a pop-up exhibition at the Galeries in Sydney, the Outpost Project on Cockatoo Island and his latest exhibition “Cosmic Nature” opens tomorrow night (Thursday...
Interview: Street Artist Numskull

All the street art lovers will have recently seen his work in Art & About Sydney (Streetware 2011), a pop-up exhibition at the Galeries in Sydney called “Transient”, the Outpost Project on Cockatoo Island and his latest exhibition ‘Mixed Messages’ is currently showing at Kind of...
Street Art @ Crumpler on King Street
A few more months have passed and the rotating art exhibition next to the Crumpler store has had two new additions. The last two works have been done by Ears and SMC3. Who doesn’t love a free art exhibition? For anyone interested in dropping by to check out the artwork – 305 King Street, Newtown is the place to go. I’m looking forward to seeing who the December artist is going to...
Inner Westies at Outpost Project on Cockatoo Island
My head almost exploded with excitement last Sunday morning as I hopped on the ferry headed to the Outpost Project on Cockatoo Island. The ferry ticket sets you back about $15 but it is worth every penny! My husband had to tell me to calm down as soon as I set foot on the Island because I took off like a chook with its head cut off, running around in a crazy manner trying to see everything...
Interview: Street Artist Ears
We are lucky to be surrounded by so many talented street artists in the Inner West and it was Ears that originally got me completely hooked on street art. So imagine my excitement when he agreed to an interview! I remember being blown away when I drove by a collaborative piece Ears did on Addison Road in Marrickville a couple of years ago. I almost gave myself whiplash as I drove by, I quickly parked...

Interview: Street Artist Birdhat
Everyone knows by now that I am a huge fan of street art. I love walking through the streets of the Inner West and stumbling across a new piece of art on the walls. Nothing beats turning my head to check if there is a new splash of colour in a laneway and spotting a new work. One street artist whose work never fails to bring a smile to my face and brighten my day is Birdhat. I was excited that I got...
The rotating street art exhibition continues + Phibs “Journey”
I started photographing the free rotating art exhibition next to the Crumpler store on King Street last October. There have been several changes since then. A couple of months ago, some bastard actually stole the Phibs artwork right off the wall. It took a while to get a replacement board back up on the wall, but it’s up and I was excited to see that Phibs has made a return with another one of...

Ladies of the Inner West
About time we had a celebration of the lovely ladies of the Inner West. Check out these gorgeous ladies! Some oldies and some newbies, some young, some a little older, some looking fresh faced, some needing a little work. But I love them all. All of these lovely ladies reside in the Inner West but I am sure there are loads more about. Let me know if you have seen any more that I haven’t included....
