sylvias time in melbourne

im back in a*town! gillian wearing exhibition was pretty sick. there were some naff parts though like the bad acting in the video (atleast is was presented cool). Tezuka is having an exhibition at NGV next week. sucks because i would have rather have seen that exhibition. but what can you do. CRY! BECAUSE I KNOW YOU ALL LOVE ASTROBOY. i have a book to show you guyse which i got from the exhibition though which has pictures of all the art works etc etc we can have some show and tell. okay, so, whilst i was in melbourne i went to polyester on brunswick street and spent like two hundred bucks on books. i got this "graffiti brasil" book and it is sick because thats where i heard of these dudes "Os Gemeos"

collaboration with banksy.

basically most of their work is illegal, but theyre huge so they have been commissioned to do trains and things even though they are "street" artists they consider themselves as fine artists but still continue to paint in blatantly illegal spots. everyone go google "brazil graffiti". now. its trippy, has heaps of different styles and allot of it is site specific. this stuff really pushes boundaries of what is seen as street art. its great. i love it. new obsession. now. i need sleep. sorry thats all ive got id post more pictures but im dying.

sylvia.
