“It’s kinda hard to put into mere mortal words, but I guess I should say that being righteous mean you’re more or less on the side of the angels, waging Armageddon for the ultimate victory of the forces of Good over the Kingdom of Death (see how perilously we skirt hippiedom here?), working to enlighten others as to their own possibilities rather than merely sprawling in the muck yodelling about what a drag everything is.” Lester Bangs (Lester Bangs “The Clash” Psychotic Reactions and Carburetor Dung, 1987, p226) There is a lot of political graffiti, there always has been.

Okay, so you've seen these posted on the blog before, and two have been on flickr for several weeks, but I've finally gotten around to adding them to my etsy & made it stores. I see these well-established etsonions (successful etsy sellers) with 100+ items listed in their store and it makes me weep! I'm one print shy from 20, so I'm getting there oh-so-slowly. I move like the hare but feel like I get there as slow as the tortoise. Anyway, enough of that... And all taken in my beloved Collingwood...

Here I am, enjoying the silence.

Hopefully they'll be ready in time for Christmas! And a warm welcome to caravan's newest follower. . .
It’s been there bloody ages, but old Bruce has taken even longer to work out how to get pictures off his phone and onto his laptop. Hopefully, it’s worth the wait as, post-graf, post-stencil, post-posters, 3D graffiti comes to Collingwood. How pleasing that they chose a post with which to start the trend. Yes, they did indeed [...]
In a matter of days Fran will celebrate reaching the magnificently divisible age of 32, while just four days later Bruce will leave that milestone behind for the somewhat less divisible, but eminently alliterate 33. Both are pleased to report, however, that signs of encroaching maturity are notable by their absence as evidenced by the giggle [...]
Has anyone seen these Vegan tags everywhere (I know Pip has! But I can't find the picture of her next to it ....)? They're all over the train line from Clifton Hill to the city, Victoria Parade/Street and surrounds. I saw some more AR-ish work on a recent Graffiti Safari with Buzz and Cousin Zacman - whaddya think?
