Melbourne Graffiti Alleyway and lane ways

Picking up the thread again after finishing off fashion week, back to the road trip, we finished of our breakfast at the Bloomfield hotel and have a long drive ahead of us to get close to the border. But not without first visiting the Melbourne famous street art. Kenny has one of these inked on his body It seems that the good people of Melbourne don't have objections to all this art, especially as we are just off the main CBD streets off Flinders and Collins street. Click here to see where they are all located Mother of Christ , save me from this toxic city full of parasites We're all appreciating it If you are into street art, and in Melbourne next, you might consider doing a guided tour of these painted alleyways so much colour even a sculpted face on one of the graffiti'd walls







When Politicians go home at night they like to pull out a few weeds so they feel they've accomplished something positive for the day cuteness amongst the colour



The Arts are a proven platform for enriched and positive understanding of ourselves and the world in which we live.
This painting demonstrates the power of a title to reflect our reading of a picture ------------ son of a bitch.
More cameras greater security    means     I won't be doing this for much longer.


love it love it even more.

The Kamal catches a ride(r)

Me on my Tribeca Grand Bike, riding along Mercer street with a couple of polyboards to put my photos  on for the exhibition. As I was riding along Broadway, I was riding against the wind, so was a bit of a sight, but no problem for me, had a lot of practice when I was 15-17, riding my bmx bike to the beach with surfboard under my arm. Anyway, as I was a bit of a site with this board under my arm along broadway, I had quite a few shots taken of me by people, so I decided to go along quiter Mercer street, when I saw Kamel from Style And the City, shooting some fashiony type, so of course I did not mind Kamel taking a shot of me. I must say, looking at it now, I look like I live here , hahaha

time for a reminder

Exhibition at Tribeca Grand , opening this Thursday night

This year it is a little different, because not only do you get my photos, but you also get my friend, Candice Lake's photos as well.
so come down on the big night if in town

Diane Down Under :-)

breakfast with the crew on Elizabeth street Lucinda Rose and Felecity from Pages Digital drop by After breakfast we meet up with the legendary frockwriter ( yes, getting in my shot ) to take a fashion icon to see the Sydney icon was a bit windy on the northern terrace nice

after the opera house we meet up with Liz Blakiston, who flew over from Perth this morning, at the Anna Schwartz gallery in Eveleigh at the carriageworks
Gallery director Simeon Kroneberg


Diane & Liza. After the gallery we have a lunch at this great cafe set up in the carriageworks. next morning, last day for Diane, so another breakfast on Elizabeth street and this time we are joined by the talented Luke & Anna. I really wanted the team behind Romance Was Born to meet Diane, and am glad Diane availed herself as she is only in Sydney for a short period ( flying out this afternoon ) But we will get her back, she's hooked ( just make sure there's a koala to hug available and she won't think about the long flight over-or down )

ASVOFF after party at the Blakiston's

Miguel, Jacqui & Graham at the entrance, we had to have a shot to show you the hundreds of beautiful red roses at the entrance. ( And Jacqui wearing her new Romance Was Born printed candle dress ) Miguel does a quick portrait of this gentleman, who has come down from the very north of Western Australia to accept an award at the W.A. art gallery on behalf of his mother ( sorry, but the name has escaped me) The kichen, were hired chefs are cooking up the yummiest little morsels of food, and they just kept coming out. Liza and Michael have filled their house with contemporary art, and it is done in such a nice way, enough so you see it all , but not overdone, so you don't feel like you ar ein a museum and can't touch anything. I guess what I'm trying to say is that it still feels like a home, a very nice home :-) even nicer with a pretty girl in the photo loving the dark version of arum lillies in all those vases what an incredible looking flower and this hot chick that keeps following me :-) Miguel, host Liza and Graham the crew the end of the night and time to say our goodbyes. Some will stay in Perth, but most of us will fly out to Sydney.

ASVOFF first Australian premiere & The Cell

later that evening Diane Pernet present, to a select and lucky few, her 3rd Shaded View on Fashion Film festival at the PICA. After the screening, part of the museum , with it's contemporay art, was still open. Including Brooke Andrew's The Cell. I had heard , seen and read about this exhibition, and all day been working out a way to get Diane in there. There was no way, however, Diane would take of her shoes and put on the required uniform ( which is like a complete suit with the same graphic ) In the end, this is the closest I got Diane to go, still a good photo, no ?

Headus 3D Scanning ( a little Hollywood in the Perth Hills )

After our Koala experience, we are invited by Connor, from Zekka, to visit his Auntie's place Jill, in the hills of Hollywood Perth. We are greeted by Jill Smith at her charming home, after a quick tour of the extensive garden, including a bee hive ( yummy honey ) we are invited to the basement, where all the action happens. You see, Jill, runs a company called HEADUS which does a lot of the 3D scanning work, and special effects for movies like X-men, Wolverine, King Kong, Avatar, HellBoy 2, Matrix reloaded..etc... Here Phillip is only to happy to give us a basic rundown on how it works and proposes to do a 3D scan of Diane not only are we blown away by the technology of it all, but the speed as well. 3 scans and 5 minutes later, and we have a 3D of Diane's head, the applications now are endless. Diane bronze cast head coming to all good stores near you soon :-)
