Vintage ESPRESSO

So my local coffee fix is under threat from the Gold Coast Council and are at risk of being shut down.  Not only is the coffee and food delicious but all the staff are a dime a dozen.  Just take a look at what happens when your i.d. accidentally pops out when you are trying to pay for you coffee; you lift your coffee of its saucer and ta-da a portrait drawn on your saucer.  Head to Vintage Espresso on the Gold Coast 1/43 Alfred St, Mermaid Beach and sign their petition now so I can keep my body functioning with their tasty beans.

Surface POP

In you are in Melbourne town this Friday is the opening of Surface Pop Up at 11-13 Carlilse Street St. Kilda.  Should be a mad night.  Will post the works up here soon that I'm exhibiting.

1 more copy of Coffee & Sex remaining.......

Coffee & Sex

Recently cleaned my abode and little behold I found 5 stray copies of a colab-zine ''Put your hands together for Coffee & SEX" that I put together with my hombré Ben Have-a-banana 2-years ago to this date.  First five people to email me (click here) with their postal address and the email subject "happy endings" get one of the 5 discovered copies.  *I'll post to anywhere in the world so don't hold back.

Sorry

Sorry! for the lack of posts for the last 6-months and happy new year.  I've been avoiding the computer as much as possible of late even though it's been near impossible with the amount of rain we've had here in Australia.  I don't have an excuse for lack of posts, just shear laziness.  Now that it's a new year though my resolutions are in place and I aim to update this sucker more than once a year.  Heaps of photos to go through and a few sneaky super8 rolls back from the lab so stay tuned.  As for the photos above; the top one is one I snapped on my tech-phone of a hellman who had recently bought a keyboard from the local op-shop and with the help of the store attendant used an occy strap to fasten it to his back to transport it on his Harley.    And as for the bottom one; it is a frame grab from a Super 8 roll shot on the 'Ze Frog & Toad' Trip that will soon be spliced and posted on the world wide web for your viewing.

Chalmer x Dark Park = Pavot de Mile

Pavot de Mile is a short film I made for Dark Park short film series which is part of the recently launched Art Park.  Thankyou to Craig & Paul from Art Park and everyone who helped make Pavot de Mile happen.  While you're creeping make sure you check out Abegg and Heywood's films.
