Local street art legend ELK has been given a free kick by the makers of poker machines Aristocrat entertainment.
And he’s duly dispatched them through the posts.
Hope he didn’t need the $9,500.

I have always enjoy Canberra’s street art and recently stumbled on this beauty at the back of Kambah Shops! The scale is impressive

Dante has sent in a new work by the increasingly controversial Abyss in the Woden Interchange.
While the comments will no doubt be dominated by the strongest opinion holders. But here’s a poll to get some numbers on the issue.

This tag has popped up all over Civic in the last couple of months.
Looks slightly cult-y, wonder if it means anything?

Index Fossils is a solo show by Canberra artist Abyss .607. The show will give a rare insight into the creative process as well as the fugitive world of a street artist. It will also give the opportunity to purchase works of one of Canberra most unique artists, as well as one of [...]

I’m not saying Luke Chiswell has been busy beautifying parts of Sullivan’s Creek.
But I am saying someone who likes his style has.

For comparison here’s me awarding myself the Mully Cup in a T-Shirt personally bought from Luke.

I was walking through Garema Place today and, unsurprisingly, I saw something a bit odd. There was a man just casually wrapping some cling film around two poles outside of Impact Comics. I’ve seen quite a few strange things at Garema and I decided to stick this one out, to see if he was going [...]

A couple of weeks ago we were very excited by local stencil artist ELK’s shortlisting for the Archibald Prize.
This afternoon he’s facebooked that he hasn’t won the prize.
But he still has high hopes for the people’s choice if you’re heading to Sydney anytime soon.

UPDATE: The ABC has a piece on [...]

I just went for a walk and found a grave dug near the scout hall off Boronia street in O’Connor, complete with a single child’s thong (but no corpse, fortunately) and some very sweet stencil art near the wetlands off Boronia street. This was hard to photograph.
Each letter is marked with a [...]

Gungahlin Al sent in this effort which has taken no time at all to spring up at the shiny new Dickson wetland.

DarkLadyWolf has sent in this picture from under the bridge where the Tuggeranong Parkway passes over Heysen Street, Weston.
We’ve asked TAMS if it’s one of theirs but at this point we’re suspecting a naughty stencil artist is having some fun.

Word reaches us that Canberra CBD Limited is planning to commission security patrols to deter graffiti in their target area of Civic and Braddon.
They had this to say on the subject:
Nothing specific as yet. We are currently finalising the locations but can confirm that Braddon will be a particular target. We have the [...]

I noticed this bloke on the corner of Bunda and Mort this morning and thought he was worth preserving for posterity.

I saw this on Mort Street in Braddon last night and and thought it was cute enough to share.

I snapped this street art on the weekend at the Kent St overpass on Adelaide Ave. It’s about 5-6 feet tall.

Under Kingsford-Smith Dr where it crosses Ginninderra you will find a new “Shame”. This image shows on the left, the one from this time last year, and on the right, the newly painted “Shame” . looks like two artist to me, completely different styles.

Sarah(sarah) has sent in this little street art gem with this note:
Spotted this little gem on my lunch break today – located in the stairwell to nowhere under the Canberra Connect/Library building. Someone must be as excited about the new Tintin movies as me!
Apologies for the low quality. Unfortunately I don’t carry a DSLR with [...]

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, “The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls”
And whispered in the sounds of silence
Lacking light rail Canberra makes do with stormwater drains.
I saw [...]

I’ll admit I was a little excited about news from CanberraCBD of a new mural in Braddon.
Excited enough to brave the horrid weather and apparent temperature of zero degrees.
So while it does look rather cool it’s a shame it isn’t a little more visible.

As seen in Latin America Plaza (Just near the Unilodge).
One can’t help feeling this is deeply ironic, and yet be unsure if it’s intentionally so.

Nice to see Canberra’s street artists running highly topical.
