Pop Art Is Dead

Relevant to most of us the world over

This purely fictional dystopian world seems far too plausible. Great work @stmartinsyac.bsky.social , but I hope this doesn’t inspire actual Liberal or ON policy, it feels like it’s not far off 😬 youtu.be/a-cBYGCK6XM

All these years later.... I'm STILL a member of The Resistance.

Winding the clock way back, looking for some halloween art inspiration. While digging in the archives, I found an old piece of graffiti I did. Frosty Boy in the style of a brain-eating zombie. I think I might redraw him and turn it into a sticker. Who wants ice cream? #graffiti #streetart #zombie

Resisting the urge to use this to talk about the current state of politics... hopefully it inspires someone smarter than me to cut loose on the world (with their words, not actual murder)

Spending a little time building some kits for artists, cartoonists and designers. The first one is live in the shop now. The website and shop is a WIP, with the workshops section nearly ready, and the ready-to-paint murals starting to come online.

After a lot of tinkering, it is finally here, Ready-to-Paint Murals. I will still design fully customised murals, but... check out the Ready-to-Paint murals first. If there's an image you like, and you know the size of the space, you can see the cost and the process without the pain of the endless…

1 am (or so) Sunday morning pop-culture icon coffee post for @ruh-roh.bsky.social who I've accidentally assumed is US-based, and hope I haven't offended by guessing may still be mid-morningish where you are ☮️ PS: yes, Audrey is probably drinking tea, but I'm trying to be more positive, so...hope☕

Cheap nozzles back in stock. Before Euro paint hit the shores, you'd try random nozzles from crazy products, see what worked on paint, and keep them in a jar of turps so they didn't clog up. Now art stores sell them for $1.50 each. HELL NO! I won't always have them, but right now, I do

Design lovers in #Melbourne , this one is for you! #openhouse Get around it. This is a priority on my itinerary. I'll see how much I can cram in before my daughter gets sick of it openhousemelbourne.org/event/melbou...

someone told me I missed Open House Melbourne and I spilled my "Magic" coffee all over my black skivvy... then this showed up in my feed and all is saved - there's still time to plan. Program here: openhousemelbourne.org/the-weekend/ Call it "ARTitecture"? I'm sure that's a thing somewhere

how many times can you say "Purple Panthers Positively Painting Purple Pieces" ? #graffiti #purplepanther #citylife #melbourne #streetart #streetpainting

Let’s go paint 🎨 ☮️🎨☮️🎨☮️ #graffiti #painting #streetart

Amongst the housing crunch, landbanking and the rush to turn unused commercial space into overpriced co-working offices, there are very few affordable spaces left for creative people to work. Artists and writers still have a couple of days to grab this cheap studio space. #artstudio #creativespace

Share a random film GIF

A very quick, simple and very raw, freestyle #graffiti piece. Over on Insta, an old friend started the Piece for Peace movement. Hopefully they’ll come here in the future and kick Zuck to the curb. I’ll paint over this with something cooler some night soonish.

Without downloading anything new, where are you, mentally?

get around it Melbourne! Support people who make actual stuff. #MIAF2026

The Jetsons lied to us

Gave the Pop-Up Art Wall a test run at #YarravilleFestival . I kept it chilled for a while, then let the kids go nuts. Even the local #Westernbulldogs mascot came and did a few tags 😀 Built for corporate workshops, it was great to see it could withstand the punishment all day and stay solid 💪

Prepping a few framed pieces of affordable prepped for the weekend at #yarravillefestival I'm also debuting a giant community colouring-in wall. If you're in #Melbourne come say hi and have a scribble 🖍️🎨🧑‍🎨😀 #popart #postgraffitipopart #melbourneartists #art #originalart @artscentremelb.bsky.social

Hi #melbourne friends and festival lovers. #Yarravilefestival is coming up. I'll be there with a massive colouring-in wall. Come and colour in the mural, or draw your own stuff 🖍️🎨🖼️ As well as the community art wall, I'll have affordable art, materials and comics for sale @yarraville.bsky.social

A quick spot of painting on Sunday. I like doing these advertising poster replicas. This isn't #streetart . It's just a #mural. Street Art is unsanctioned/illegal art. It is an important distinction, and it is what makes street art important; it must exist outside legal influence or restraint.

Not all murals or street art turn out how the person commissioning the work hope. Due to the popularity of street art, it has attracted lots of inexperienced painters. In this case, though reluctant to paint over someone, I stepped in with a quick coverup for the embarassed property owner.

Melbourne is known for its street art and highly developed graffiti lettering style. There are some great tours to show your around the city, and taking a few photos is nice, but... a bit passive. Have you thought about painting your own street art or graffiti piece, legally? Come an experience…

It's pretty warm in Melbourne today...so instead of finishing off rewriting a client's job application, a cold beer and a little time to admire the rad artwork in Dark Heart. I'll finish ghostwriting their job application after the second beer 😜

Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "listen mate, life has surface noise."

Paint your own graffiti piece in Melbourne Forget the tours, make you own graffiti or street art while in Melbourne

Enjoying a glass of wine + surrounded by paint = 🕺🧑‍🎨🤦‍♂️ ps Seeing there's already heaps of evil shit happening in the world, I feel emboldened enough to be a cranky prick when someone says they're letting the wine "breathe" and they leave it in the bottle. Nothing's breathing, don't waste our time ☮️

turns out 1986 was a pretty awesome year for movies, this was probably the standout for me as a 10 yr old that year

Interesting piece on LinkedIn looking at an example of a fake news site that popped up shortly after the Bondi massacre and spread disinformation that was quickly picked up and regurgitated through various AI channels/platforms. #bondi #AI #disinformation www.linkedin.com/pulse/hacked...

any Australian Authors out there with an unpublished manuscript?

Finally getting my shop in working order. Not doing any int'l shipping yet, maybe in 2026: There's still time for Aussies to order for Christmas, local Melbournians can pick up from Sth Melbourne. Bondi Beach - North End

I have 0% interest in musical theatre, but constantly find myself looking to Tim Minchin for inspiration on 100% of life's things, creative and otherwise youtu.be/ODSKfN6pSMs?...
