This Saturday after the screening of Melbourne Ink at ACMI will be the Launch of Kings Way
See you there
Crime & Charity - Culver City, CA
If any of you happen to be in the Los Angeles area, you should pop in to this:
.
In 2007 Australia’s Victorian State Government passed the ‘Graffiti Prevention Act’. This legislation extended the government’s zero tolerance approach to Graffitti and provided police new authority to search any person, vehicle or object they suspect to possess a Graffitti implement, within close proximity of public transport.
Ironically, this legislation was passed while Tourism Victoria was using Graffitti and street art to promote Melbourne Tourism on television and web advertisements. Melbourne’s laneway’s are a big drawcard for tourism and it is undeniable that the diverse artwork is part of the city’s broader cultural appeal.
Graffiti and street art will never disappear. Despite the State Government’s negativity, there are well documented social contributions and benefits provided by many artists, cultural tourism being one. Unfortunately these are only recognised when it is conveniently leveraged for commercial gain.
‘Crime & Charity’ depicts the frustration Megg’s feels in the face of this hypocrisy. The characters depicted in his artwork are hybrids of guilt and innocence, both frustrated and persecuted for being part of a culture that is simultaneously celebrated and condemned.

Fade Away
I walked down one of our old stomping grounds to find that some of our old stickers are still battling the test of time.
Like women, these stickers only get better with age!!
