The Lighthouse Keeper’s cat

I love this one…

Ericailcane is one of thoses artist which just takes away my breath*. Located in Bologna Ericailcane produces etchings, street art, animations, installations, drawings and obviously what ever else there is to do.

The style of the art work reminds me of Victorian children’s illustrations with a wimsical twist, like seeing something totally familiar combined with something unknown, uncanny and very, very strange. The capture of space in the installations is amazing, like the creatures whirling around you, invading you mental space…

Ericailcane’ website and on facebook.

Show at squadro stamperia galleria, Bologna

*) and makes me want to go into a dark corner never to come out again and never ever again pick up a pencil ^_^…

Find of the day: The famous Brazilian streetart twins in action. Love to see their drawing techniques. I first saw their work in a book on Streetart in Brazil ‘Graffiti Brasil’ by Lost Art, Caleb Neelon, and Tristan Manco (also available in the Wellington City Library ^_^…).

If you would like to see more images visit the Os Gemeos group on Flickr.

This Mural is by Perth street artist and illustrator Creepy

You have to look at his work for the So Many Broken Umbrellas at Gorker Gallery, Fitzroy, Melbourne.

Love it! Love it, Love it!

On my second day in Melbourne I decide to just stroll around rather than having a plan :-)… funnily enough this way I stumbled upon the well known Blender Gallery and Studios who organise street art tours guided by artists. For now I am content strolling to the city on my own, but if you do not have much time this might be a very good idea. They seem to be really nice www.melbournestreettours.com.

I would guess that these are all Miso’s (miso + ghostpatrol ABC documentary) work.

The Union Lane Project is part of Melbourne’s Laneway Commissions project. Beginning in 2002, the Laneway Commissions temporarily transform Melbourne’s lanes into public art galleries.
My images are taken today almost 2 years after the event. The project is (partly) documented under http://beyondthecctv.blogspot.com/.

Many more inspirations from my first walk through Melbourne are in my Melbourne Flickr Set. Enjoy ^_^…
