[OT] [Melb] Street art exhibitions tomorrow & Thurs.

[Lionel]

Off-topic, but I thought there'd be people here who'd enjoy seeing the
exhibitions. One of my housemates is exhibiting at both shows. His work
is great:

...there's something about gallery exhibitions of street art that
always makes me giggle...

Still, giggling aside, Satta [is it wrong to capitalise? Ever?
rANdoMlY?] does some nice stuff. It's nice to see stencils that look
like they were drawn first rather than worked up in Photoshop from
photo reference in about 5 minutes. That's just my preference, but
I'm sticking with it.

The wild west one is great.... but that may also be because I like
trains...

Tyme.

Yeah, same here. OTOH, I kind of like the surrealness of exhibiting
street art in a gallery.

Agreed completely. I've watched him doing this stuff, & you'd amazed at
just how much work goes into it. The stencils are all cut by hand, which
takes hours.

I'll pass on your comments.

...I've never thought of it like that. It's be cool if they set up
little roadways in there and had kiddie toy pedal cars that you had to
use in order to get around the place... okay, maybe that'd suck, but
it'd be even more amusing.

Oh no, I can easily understand how much work it would take. I'm
curious as to what he's using to make the stencils out of. I'd assume
that to get that kind of detail he's using some kind of plastic sheet
rather than cardboard like some people do.

It's cool. A lot of detail and a lot of style.

Tyme.
