Street Art from Franklin to Waymouth
Heading south on the way back from the Central Markets we couldn't help but notice the explosion of street art along the way. If you haven't seen Toy Soldiers' mural on Anster Street off of Waymouth... do yourself a favour. Great to see Store, Fredrock and Benzo still showing the streets who's boss.

Killer Bees; Benzo at B-Sharp
We were really lucky this week to get a sneak peak at some new work by Benzo ahead of his Killer Bees show next week at B-Sharp Records. Benzo is a bit of an enigma. Creating artwork all over the country with a juggernaut dedication, you never know where he is or what he's up to (but you can rest assured it will be rad). Besides being a friggin' ex...

8-Bit Kidz Paste Up
8 Bit Kidz are proliferating around the city. A bit like pokemon, these paste ups are quite collectable and we've started looking out for them around the place and hope to collect them all. Report back here with any finds. We'll be sure to keep this gallery updated. These firstfour exampleswere found in the alcove near Electric Circus.

The Decapitator
The Decapitator stalks the streets of NYC, hacking heads off in broad daylight. But don't panic, he's no "Lopper" - he's an artist. No ad is safe from his violent attacks (see below), no spindly model's neckundecapitable (with the help of some Photoshoppery and glue). In the past, he's cut the heads off models in ads in London, Paris and ...

A Word With Christian Chapman
Though he’s already well known throughout the surfing industry for his gnarley board art and sprays, flipping through Christian Chapman’s portfolio is like climbing inside the abstruse mind of a lingerie-clad SAS sniper – one minute you’re being seduced by a perfectly detailed fantasy beach scene, the next you’re hit s...

Art from Adelaide pt. II
New works by 2 Percentand Ankle Pants in the West End. As quick as it goes up on the filthy alleyway walls, it seems to come down. The best defence a city has against sponteneity and creativity is beige paint and dilligence and that, the Adelaide City Council has in abundance. We tip our hats to the practitioners of these random acts of art and the...

Seen On: Vardon Ave
This little cherub was discovered on one of countless trips down to the East End Ido every week. On my way back up Vardon Avenue off East Terrace I, for some reason, happened to glance this cheeky little stencil. This little red duck is the essence of good street art. Even though it's only the size of a coffee cup the artist has taken care to do it...

Art from Adelaide
"There's no Street Art in Adelaide." But wait.... here's some. If you're keen to find this stuff, use the environmental clues (or just scoot round the back of Eckersly's) Street Art in its natural habitat! Merge is pretty tired of some urban-style artists who take inspiration from the street aesthetic but don't really put anything back in...
