Newtown paste-up

(King Street, Newtown, Sydney)

Found this paste-up on a shopfront on Saturday.

Looks like a piece by Ears.

This reminds me of what a Salad Fingers pastiche would look like if one existed.

Well, it does now.

NEWTOWN: I have a dream mural

(King St, Newtown, Sydney)

The "I have a dream" mural is one of the most iconic in Australia.

It depicts the famous phrase spoken by Martin Luther King Jr. Above this is his face sided with a cloud-encased globe.

The black background is mixed at the bottom with the other colours of the Indigenous Australian flag.

This draws a link between the US Civil Rights Movement and Indigenous socio-economic struggle still faced today.

This was painted by Andrew Aiken, Juilee Pryor and Matthew Peet in 1991.

Twelve months before he worked on the mural, Aiken fled the UK after murdering a man he squatted with. He buried him in a cellar.

In 1997, Aiken turned himself in to British police and is now serving a life sentence.

Artist: Ears

King St, Newtown

Fuck I love Newtown.

Found this piece a few days ago next to the Andrew Aiken "I have a dream" mural.

See more Ears here.

i'll make it

This was taken on King St, Newtown near the train station.

I recently took my camera through this "alternative/multi-sexual/artistic" community taking snaps and will have more posted soon.

In the meantime i need to get this hep a+b treated.

"I can't tag and i have nothing interesting to say. I'll probably 'make it' if i draw guerrilla geometry shapes while tugging myself off."

(Crown St, Surry Hills)

Saw this at Smail Ln, Ultimo. Looks like something from The Maxx.

What does it remind you of?
