Trippin' North

Be Free, Melbourne Street Art and Surface POP  just returned from a road Trip to NSW, Queensland and the Gold Coast.

We got up early in the middle of the night

for missions

to catch planes

we ate on the go

drank to much coffee

 had lunch with Shida, Beastman & Jae Copp in Surfers

we scoped spots

and got yelled at

we caught trains

buses

hailed taxes

moaned about the cost

walked a million miles

got lost

found our way

GPS became our best allie 

made awesome new friends

saw a load of art

made a movie

took some photos

went to galleries

made some epic possibilities

laughed 

cried

felt content

contemplated

planned

told a million stories

felt inspired

got impressed

got unimpressed

fall asleep in weird places

found ourselves in unusual circumstances 

saw many alleyways 

meet alley people
made art

swapped art

took risks

played it safe

watched the sun rise

soaked in the warmth

shivered in the cold

all in 4 days

PIX SETS - Fibre FEMMES - All Female Paste up & Stencil Exhibition -

Its been almost 3 weeks since we opened the door at our new gallery and featured a killer debut exhibition 

 FIBRE FEMMES

There has been so many amazing sets of photos up and blog posts, and I feel the need to archive them all in one place.......




Here's the links to all the photostreams with props to the peeps who supported us. 

Our posse over at INVURT did an entire week of interviews with our femmes, one per day as a lead up to the opening, you can read them all HERE - just click on each link that will take to straight to INVURTS page, BTW this is a blog well worth checking everyday.

 Melbourne Street Art who made us an awesome promo video

 created this SET taken with a fish eye lens, really lush pix. 

Send MSA a friends add on Facey, you will keep in the Street Art loop through your newsfeed if you do.

Dean Sunshine master of Street Art Archiving, created this awesome SET of pix, nice and large and easy to view - his is a blog to follow, as Dean is more often then not the first on the scene - like a street art forensic photographer! 

Fitzroy Flasher whom I think most of us are MASSIVE fans off created this beautiful creative SET, all in sepia tones, Flashers blog is well worth following, one of my tops...  

Roger Hyland is an extremely passionate and avid follower of street art - his beautiful photo Flickr SET of Fibre FEMMES can be seen HERE

Street Art Auction for Traditional Health Care in India

Its been 2 weeks since I've blogged that's a while, but I got something worthwhile to blog about!

Melbourne based charity Traditional Healthcare are having a fundraiser in June with a focus on Melbourne street art. We are raising funds to build a sustainable healthcare facility in India.

Surface POP and Melbourne Street Art are helping with gathering works from the Melbourne Street Art Community. 

 We have been asking Artists to donate and become a part of this event...

We have had the most awesome response and have the most epic line up - were expecting this list to grow as well!

We have established this page on Facey as a CALL OUT to all Street Artists 

The promotions that we are trying to organise for the donating artists include poster promotion, Radio interviews on 3CR and RRR and maybe PBS. We will also be writing articles for news papers and gathering comments from the artists.

I have a real personal belief in the cause, as my background is in Traditional Healthcare, Shiatsu, Oriental, Therapies and Yoga, I was already a member of this group before Melbourne Street Art approached Surface POP to be involved, it just feels so amazing to have two of my loves meshing, Street Art and spreading the love for Traditional Healthcare World wide!

Check out this link: Traditional Healthcare in INDIA from 2009 to see what incredible work these guys are up too - it totally blows my mind.
