found on jubilee lane, summer hill (duhh) – i really like this street art – random, in an odd spot, seemingly without reason – and on a bloody good east end london brick wall. just down a bit from laughing outlaw records.
what a happy, uplifting piece of sydney street art this is.
why did these three tools need to tag over the top of it? i know the answer.
it got tagged over because the taggers have no respect, they could never come up with any art that is near as good as this, so they are jealous and finally, because they are cum-munching little fucks who need a good slap.
i took this from the 6th floor of a surry hills warehouse looking down towards central starion. i am guessing this is put up on the 4th floor level. whoever did this would have had to scramble across a few rooftops to reach the wall.
3 pairs of tits and two cocks? why not….. like heiroglyphs, throw in a scarab or two and you’re away!
i wonder if it is the same person with the same tit fascination as the one who did: boobies in petersham
i have walked past this for years now and even though i am doing this blog, i have never thought to shoot it. i don’t know why..
it is a cracker of a little piece. stating the obvious, but in case you can’t tell, this is a security door by the side of a terrace house in fitzroy st, surry hills – opposite the cricketer’s arms. there is a door behind the security gate and this is painted on the door.
it’s awesome. a little disturbing maybe – and perhaps that’s why i never shot it.
apparently he is not actually a nutter, he is really quite sane. he is just an egotist and nihalist.
to see what is going on over in north korea, a great resource is dailynk.com – it really gives an insight into what is happening over there. i read it weekly. kim jong ill is a criminal and causes the daily suffering of 24 million koreans.
these people live in such a twisted form of reality. the chinese and south koreans fear that when (not if) the regime collapes, they will be flooded with 24 million under-educated zombies with huge drug problems (yes, they may not have food, but they have plenty of ice).
the sooner the US, UN and EU stop playing games with this monster and cut him off totally from foreign aid and food aid, the sooner this regime will collapse. yes it will be a big problem for south korea and china in the short-term, but it will also be a better long-term solution and expediate the raising of standard and quality of life for all those poor bastards who are trapped in the north.
now, for some light entertainment (from the film ‘team america’):
i guess the back of a signpost is a good spot to tag up – council won’t replace the sign, you are not really doing any damage and it is not going to get painted over. not a bad idea actually.
this is on fitzroy st, surry hills – just down from the cricketer’s arms.
around the corner, workers were doing some finishing touches on clover moores world famous bike paths. they obviously left a can of street marking paint behind for some muppet to pick up and play with.
why would you just spray the word ‘cunts’ onto the middle of the road? oh they also painted a 2 metre penis on the road with cum dribbling out of it.
anger management therapy is in order perhaps?
to whoever did this, here is a song for you:
rage can be great -> but only if you grow out of it one day. believe me. rage and anger really has a used-by date.
The other day when i was here, this wall was covered in crappy tags. cityrail ‘workers’ painted over them with their favourite shasde of brown.
i give the space less than a week before it needs to be painted over again.
i have a great idea. how about places like this are opened up as ‘public walls’ – where someone who is actually good at pieces (as opposed to just tags), has a place to spend time to do a proper piece without fear of being arrested?
it would save the govt a bundle of money nin not having to slop their ugly brown paint all over trhe place and it would also make the city a lot more colourful.
who can i speak to to make this into a movement? we need it.
there are not many places in sydney that ever were about yuppie life. this bit of social commentary is a little bit late i think. the gentrification of newtown really started kicking off about 15 years ago!
though i too am not a fan of designer babies, i don’t really see the problem with prams. i’m sure whoever wrote this was pushed around in one at some stage.
as for respecting the locals, ‘yuppies’ make up quite a good proportion of locals.
do you not think that it is a bit disrespectful to be scrawling this rubbish on the walls of someones shop? the owner/tenant may well be a local too.
if you have been following this blog for a little while, you will have noticed that i am quite liberal on most things – particularly on anything artsy fartsy.
it breaks my heart when i see a good piece or throw-up on the rail lines being covered over with the ubiquitous brown paint that RailCorp so loves to use. It also bothered me when philjames emailed me to tell me that some of the work that he did that i photographed, had been ripped off the walls, leaving behind nothing more than ugly scars.
i have to say though, what is in this photo of the day is completely crap. it’s most likely the work of some dipshit COFA student trying to be profound. i think that this is crap for the following reasons:
1)your ‘art’ is just complete crap – total smega garbage and it says NOTHING;
2) it can’t be painted over or removed without doing more damage to a tree that has been there for over 100 year than what you have already done. Keep in mind, this is in a densely populated area, where it’s unlikely mature trees will be replaced at all.;
3) total disrespect for nature and neighbourhood (in which he/she probably studies in and is desperate to be accepted into);
4) whoever did this, you are a total cock who needs a good slap – get the fuck out of my neighborhood!
a pretty busy wall this one. the pc is made out of concrete and it can be assumed that it’s the work of the same person who did this and this and this.
the only one that i’ve seen that can give this one a run for its money is in the east end of london on brick lane. feel free to find another in this class.
what a work of art, social commentary and deep insight. shame it wasn’t nominated for the archibalds this year. I just wonder, who’s mum is it supposed to be? she has nice abs though and is a good christian, just don’t let her put you off jesus. shame about the clubfoot.
good to see there’s a thriving arts community in the western suburbs.
I walk through this tunnel under the railway lines several times a week. i love it when I hear the trains rumbling above me and the ceiling, the walls and the floor vibrate – the place has real atmosphere.
What I don’t like about it, is that even though it looks quite different, it reminds me constantly of one of the most intense and disturbing scenes i have seen in film.
I have seen plenty of films, including plenty of disturbing films, but when i know that the mother of my child is regularly walking through a tunnel that reminds me of THAT scene in the Gaspar Noe flick – ‘Irreversible’, i just can’t shake that feeling. here is a trailer for the film – en espanol:
BTW, i found it to be an amazing film anyway and one that had to be watched at least twice to be fully appreciated – even though i went and made a cup of tea in another room while THAT tunnel scene played out (once was enough, thank you very much).
Although it does star Arnie (why and HOW does he hold Governorship?????), Total Recall was another crazy kind of backwards film that is best seeing more than once.
If you want to know a little history of Arnold Schwarzenegger, watch this clip below and you will know what cumming in heaven is all about. Do you think that he is cumming now that he can ‘bose out’ as the Governator, is he still mainl-lining steroids in old age? It’s a corker:

It was, in my opinion, a great film – based on a book by the Sci-Fi nutcase – Philip K Dick (who also wrote the novel behind Bladerunner).
Even though this is an blog based in Australia, a Massive proportion of readers come from the US – most of those are from Cali. Can anyone PLEASE explain to me how this man was voted in to run the state that generates SO much revenue for the national economy? I really wonder how a man with zero acting skills can become an actor. Then i wonder how a steroid-nut neanderthal non-actor can run a once prosperous state in what was once the worlds largest economy could come into power. With all due respect to my Cali brothers and sisters, who voted this fucking freak into power?
I need to come back here and re-shoot at night – when there is no ‘light at the end of the tunnel’.
