Remember when I said we'd make it?


You ever walked an alley alone and found messages on walls? That made you think and feel life and life and life?

Look, I don't know you, we've never met, we haven't met yet. I see crooks with ideas paint and spread wait, wait, wait. These dudes are cut and grose vandalise walls with tags and pieces it's bad I know. It drags I feel good knowing Amsterdam is with us.


My gut aches it's broke we break when rules is straight with no danger. Remember when I said 2gether we'd make it? Make it, make it. Make space it's great when your teeth ain't grated and grinding 2gether we'll find a place a place a place.

If I was an artist you'd understand me. If I made tunes this track would lead to fade but would you rate it?


You're with me, you. You who knew how to express feels teach me too.

call out for artists to join sydney writing project


Call out for artists interested in contributing to quirky writing project:

Street art's punk defiance gives it a layer of meaning other art doesn't have. It's the screaming urge to say something - an altruistic desire to communicate - that is so moving.

Imagine a 'street fiction writer' with a similar idea. Instead of pasting and painting walls, a writer would hit up a bus or train with short stories. How would that work?

A writer called Galileo Galilei emailed me about a project he started just like this. He writes short stories and leaves them on buses and trains for people to find and read.

Galileo explained what the project was about:

"I used to lurk DeviantArt a whole lot, and it annoyed me that there were a heap of great artists and writers out there that nobody really knew about. I figured maybe i could inspire people to bring their work to the masses in an unconventional way.

So i start writing short stories, puttin' them in little books, photocopying a tonne of them and leavin' them on public transport, mostly trains, for commuters to read. I left instructions in the back on what it was and how to do the same, hopin' it would catch on. Just a few pages, no feature length novel.

I've been into street art for a while, and i like the idea of making something beautiful for the sake of making something beautiful. I figure it could catch on, whether it be stories, comics, whatever. Seeing the trouble people go to paint and wheatpaste, i know they have the capacity to make something out of this."

Galileo is looking for someone to put images to his stories, like a cartoon strip.

Here's Galileo's Babushka Dreams. It uses a short, sharp and fragmented narrative. There is no dialogue. Click the thumbnail to read on:
