A night on the town…
If you haven’t already heard the buzz new york based street art star Swoon is in Melbourne for an exhibition at Metro Gallery. I was lucky enough to meet her this week and got to go on a little run around melb on thursday night with her and a few others.
No Frills Toxic Mickey meet Swoon – Hosier Lane
This one above was the first one i came across before i got to meet her. Looks like Mickey has seen better days!
Swoon unrolling the goodness…massive woodcuts with intricate handcut backgrounds designed to really make the pieces become one with the environment.
Getting messy wheatpaste style.
On the wall…AC/DC lane Melbourne
There were a few people getting up or helping out including HAHA, Vexta, Drab, Junky and Tonez.
HAHA getting down with the wheatpaste.
Drab doing what he does so well – Tatterstalls Lane
And finally a small one of mine going up in AC/DC lane…
Thanks Ms Tonez for the above pic.
Subtle Stealth Bomber pasted to the wall.
All up it was a really good session, Swoon was really nice btw…and we all got to change the walls of melbourne for a little while. And if your in melbs drop in to Until Never Gallery and see Shida’s first Melb Exhibition…it is awesome and well worth visiting.
Until next time….enjoy!

Great pics NF! How inspiring is Callie! Amazing to be almost alone @ Metro and get close to her powerful intallations…Going past AC/DC today, thanks for the heads up
Thanks Vetti. She was really cool! Friendly and not egotistical which is always great to see when you come across someone with big success. Her work is so intricate and beautiful.
I saw the Shida pics on your site, did you make it to the opening at Until Never? It was pretty crazy. He is becoming a star that dude.
There is a Swoon piece in the lane before AC/DC coming from hosier…maybe guilford lane, and also another nice one at the back of section8 if you want to see a few more.
cheers,
NF
