shoes on powerlines

I read somewhere once that wherever you see shoes that have been thrown over power lines, then that means that there is a drug-dealer doing business nearby.

Sounds like the biggest load of crap to me.

What do you think?

yet more guerilla art

Okay then, will the real Phil James please stand up, please stand up?

For those of you who are regulars here, you would have already seen this post. Here is another piece found in Paddington.

Whoever this guy is, he really likes to see a mashed-up Princess Diana as you can see here, posted by a Kate Bedwell (nice name BTW, do you?).

Dumbo Feather has also mentioned him here, as has Darlinghurst Nights.

Someone called Reemski has posted this on her Flickr account as well.

I really hope this is not some clever viral marketing campaign that has us hoodwinked and that rather, it is a homegrown Banksy-type thing.

If it IS a marketing thing, I vow to take down all posts regarding this and replace them with something else i shot that day. You know I DO take more than one photo a day.

If anyone finds more of this guys work, please put your links into my comments.

PS. – Haberdashery – what an excellent word.

It’s a non-shot. I know

I have noticed over the past few weeks these things appearing on Oxford Street.

Someone has made these pre-fabs (out of concrete?). There are TV and video remote controls, as well as one Nokia phone. Seems that they have poured the concrete into the mould, buttons and all and have scratched messages into them. The detail is amazing. They have been stuck onto brick walls with liquid nails or something.

One of them, a TV remote, is enscribed with the word “Isolation”. I like it.

I would love to know if anyone else here has seen these things and if anyone knows whoi is doing it?

My message to the perp is this – “Thank You!” – I hope the Saturday shoppers get your message.

Is it art, or advertising? hmmm. Looks like someone ripped another one off, just to the left of this one.

paddo busker

This guy is great – plays tunes from Elvis movies like Blue Hawaii i think – something like this and  this. Drop hima goldie or two if you see him out front of IGA supermarket on Oxford St, Paddington.
