Creating an incredibly rich atmosphere, the exhibition included outdoor installations, free-roaming sketch books of his with accompanying headphones blaring the music that EARS personally catered to the exhibition, creating an all sensory experience.

art for locals

enthusiasts,

i've started this blog in the absence of a cohesive coverage of sydney and greater australia's bustling street art scene.

street art is our most sincere and gorgeous evidence of political and social involvement, expressions of contentment and upset, and a display of consciousness and activism across generations. besides the aesthetic contributions the following posts will highlight, there will be an air of its social, philosophical and historical relevance as this could serve as an in depth documentation of what's happening in real time around Sydney (and outside when i can reach it).

thanks for reading.
