High Class Blues

Drove past something that I recognised yesterday but there was nowhere to stop...

Luckily, when I drove past another one, there was a stopping area. Yay.

Looks good. I am liking this line of work. Right up my alleyway.

Lost for Words

This is the gem I was talking about.

Ah, the Soho Square - home to a great big hole. Well, last week I walked to work as usual, past Soho Square, on my way home however, there is was.

I am lost for words myself. This is some fantastic work. I've always been a bit of a type fan, but this is just beautiful.

Now, this was down by the time I walked to work the next day. I hope the artist came back and collected it and it wasn't stolen (more because I wish I had thought of missioning down in the middle of the night to pick it up myself).

Anyway, fantastic. This works gets a MASSIVE thumbs up from me.

Leave it to the uni students

Now, I haven't spent much time wandering Auckland Uni just yet, I haven't had the need. A brief excursion the other day to see Eulogy at the Maidment Theatre on campus however lead me to this:

Power to the people. Speak your mind. I'd love an explanation as to why our Government is corrupt, I mean, it's not perfect, but I'd take our Government over some others around the world.

Like I said, I haven't trooped around Auckland Uni that much, but compared to Victoria Uni in Wellington, there was just nothing around.

In fact, there is very little around Auckland at all. Perhaps I am just not walking past the right playgrounds for the artistically inclined. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be much obliged.

(In other news, I have a FANTASTIC shot of a little something just sitting on my camera. I will download it, just thought I'd tease it out first. It was up and gone within 24 hours, and it was pretty amazing work)

Leftovers

Just a couple of leftover pics from the Wellington days. Foie gras was outside The Museum Hotel.

I don't recall where this little guy was. He seems happy though. Perhaps outside Enjoy gallery on Cuba?

Cheese Slicer

I quite like this little paste up just at the bottom of The Metropolis. Unfortunately it has been taken down now, but I liked it while it was there.

HEY WELLINGTONIANS

Hey Wellington kids and kidettes.

My favourite street artist PNTR is showing some work along with drypnz at Manky Chops from the 24th of June to the 10th of July.

Go along and support these 2 - they do some amazing work around Wellington which means you guys get proper interesting art on the street instead of the bullshit tagging which is all I can find up in Auckland.

Do it.

Also, check out both of their blogs/sites which has more work to see - pntr & drypnz.

By the way - thanks Tom for intended invitation, I am sorry that I won't be in Wellington over this time to check it out. Keep doing what you're doing.

Wanganui - June 2010 (Part Two)

So, there is this little alley way to a parking lot behind the cinema in Wanagnui, which is where I found this little Enid Blyton image (with horns) lovingly placed below a 'God Bows To Math' poster (great band).

And this charming little paste up. NO idea what it is of, and is peeling off quite badly, but nonetheless. Nice nice.

There is also these Swallows all the way down the alleyway.
