Pop Art Is Dead

how many times can you say "Purple Panthers Positively Painting Purple Pieces" ? #graffiti #purplepanther #citylife #melbourne #streetart #streetpainting
A very quick, simple and very raw, freestyle #graffiti piece. Over on Insta, an old friend started the Piece for Peace movement. Hopefully they’ll come here in the future and kick Zuck to the curb. I’ll paint over this with something cooler some night soonish.
grabbed some AI slop just to mess around - wonder what the tagline for the movie would be?
Gave the Pop-Up Art Wall a test run at #YarravilleFestival . I kept it chilled for a while, then let the kids go nuts. Even the local #Westernbulldogs mascot came and did a few tags 😀 Built for corporate workshops, it was great to see it could withstand the punishment all day and stay solid 💪
Prepping a few framed pieces of affordable prepped for the weekend at #yarravillefestival I'm also debuting a giant community colouring-in wall. If you're in #Melbourne come say hi and have a scribble 🖍️🎨🧑🎨😀 #popart #postgraffitipopart #melbourneartists #art #originalart @artscentremelb.bsky.social
Hi #melbourne friends and festival lovers. #Yarravilefestival is coming up. I'll be there with a massive colouring-in wall. Come and colour in the mural, or draw your own stuff 🖍️🎨🖼️ As well as the community art wall, I'll have affordable art, materials and comics for sale @yarraville.bsky.social

A quick spot of painting on Sunday. I like doing these advertising poster replicas. This isn't #streetart . It's just a #mural. Street Art is unsanctioned/illegal art. It is an important distinction, and it is what makes street art important; it must exist outside legal influence or restraint.
It's pretty warm in Melbourne today...so instead of finishing off rewriting a client's job application, a cold beer and a little time to admire the rad artwork in Dark Heart. I'll finish ghostwriting their job application after the second beer 😜
Enjoying a glass of wine + surrounded by paint = 🕺🧑🎨🤦♂️ ps Seeing there's already heaps of evil shit happening in the world, I feel emboldened enough to be a cranky prick when someone says they're letting the wine "breathe" and they leave it in the bottle. Nothing's breathing, don't waste our time ☮️
turns out 1986 was a pretty awesome year for movies, this was probably the standout for me as a 10 yr old that year

A stylised letter M travels the hot and dusty outback in the 90's adding some colour to the to black coal stained world the carriage inhabited #graffiti #90sgraffiti #oldblurryphotos #freighttraingraffiti
It's Friday (in Australia) - time to wash the week off! A simple, calming, watercolour drawing of the Sydney Harbour Bridge has made its home on this special Japanese Whisky. Drink up, cheers! 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 🥃 @bsky.art #whisky #japanesewhisky
You want a bag of lollies? Sure, if you can make it to the front door #halloween #halloweendownunder #UV #blacklight #mural #melbournemurals #trickortreat
UV light off / UV light on putting up a graveyard mural facade on the front of the house with a tricky moon that has a hidden skull image, only visible as the sun goes down. #halloween #painting #halloween25 #melbourneart #melbournegraffiti @bsky.art
#Halloween was never a thing in Australia, until Covid lockdowns - then any excuse to get out of the house was gold. Everyone buys the same shit plastic props, so every house looks the same. IT IS BORING! So, I painted these ply boards that cover most of the front tiny cottage I live in. #WIP
In solidarity with #NoKings day, on MacDonald Island hundreds of thousands. of penguins staged their own protest march against the tariffs slapped on them by the Trump regime. Photo by scientists aboard the RSV Nuyina visiting the Heard & McDonald Islands
The letter E, alive, in its natural habitat with double serif flat-top...not hurting anybody, just some paint on an unloved wall in #melbourne surrounded by dumped rubbish from people exiting all the highrises crushed by high prices and broken dreams. #melbournegraffiti #streetart #streetgraffiti
It's that beautiful time of year #melbourne , it's #MelbourneFringe time! I went to "Speed Dating with Cacti" . Thought-provoking, the fun kind, not the cry into your beer kind. ☮️ to the young legends from @stmartinsyac.bsky.social for guiding our way. www.melbournefringe.com.au/whats-on/eve...
Too old to run around doing real #graffiti - I'm a whiteboard warrior instead 🙃 "I think #Graffiti is really terrific" - #AndyWarhol from Wahol-isms Edited by Larry Walsh #whiteboard #visualthinking #art #artquotes #typographicart #typography
Painted a fun illustration for a whiskey label for a special bottle in a famous Sydney steak restaurant. The bottle's worth more than my life, and drunk by people with enough money to buy an island as the world turns to shit so that's kind of nice. @bsky.art #illustration #analogart
Some graffiti in its natural habitat. If you're wandering around the Southbank precinct of Melbourne, you may find this and some other fun art. Is the #purplepanther funkier than the #pinkpanther ? #graffiti #melbournegraffiti #melbourngraff #graffitiArt #burncitygraff
Childhood summer nostalgia. Where I grew up, Frosty Boy soft-serve ice cream vans were a symbol of #70's and #80's summer joy. A little cheeky painting of the iconic character with some 80's summer fluro vibes ☀️☮️ #streetart #graffiti #frostyboy #popart
