Banksy in Camperdown, Sydney, Australia...?

I saw this grafitti on a wall in Camperdown, Sydney.
It looks like a Banksy...but i cannot confirm this.
I believe he is/was here recently
for the 17th Biennale of Sydney.

Bats on a Wire #8

Yet another poor dead bat dangling above

the world of the humans.

Spotted in Newtown

Feb 2010....It looks like it had a painful death.

Happy Flies

Whilst pegging out some washing yesterday,
I noticed these two little creatures quietly purched
upsidedown on the clothes line.
I swear they had a cheeky grin on their happy little faces.
They were there for well over an hour...!

But/Ram

A Funny (to me at least) mens Doubles name
abreviations spotted during the
2010 Australian Open Tennis:

Bats on a wire #7

I spotted this bat in Stanmore, December 2009.
It had been there quite a while and had started to fall appart.

"The Goat" diorama

Some pics of my latest diorama, "The Goat".

It was in a group show at the

ESP Gallery in Marrickville in December 2009.

The Pleasure Trove

I had a new Diorama exhibiting in The Marrickville Contemporary Art Prize, At the Vanishing Point Gallery in Newtown, Sept 11-27th 2009.

Bats on a wire #6

Today I spotted this poor dead Bat hanging on the power lines
in my street. It has been very windy in Sydney this week
and the bat looks like it could drop at any minute.

MARS: The Happiest Planet

Martians officially voted happiest

creatures in the solar system.....
and to celebrate, they built a monument on their planet for all to see.

Meanwhile, planet Earth finally

renamed "Planet of War".

Sculpture Park

Here's my new Diorama called Sculpture Park.

Dimensions are: 45cm long x 14cm x 14cm.

Danger: Electricity aims for the groin.

I saw this funny sign recently.

Bats on a wire #5

Yet another poor dead bat.
This one was spotted in Denison St, Newtown, Sydney.
It died poking its tongue out at something or some-one.

Caught in the act.

I awoke to a strange and persistent
noise coming from the back yard yesterday.
I went to investigate and saw these two going softly at it.

Bats on a wire #4

This bat was in Stanmore ( March 2008),
just near where Bat #2 met its untimely end.

Hover Bike ?

I saw this funny sign in a park in Newtown, Sydney.

It could be interpreted in so many ways.

I like to think of it as 'Hover bike'.

Feel free to come up with your own interpretations.

Body Parts for sale on EBAY

If you wake up with a headache one day, it may be because someone is trying to selling your skull on Ebay, like this poor person.

Hmmm....what is the world coming to?

Here is the actual ebay auction link.

Bats on a wire #3

This bat was in Stanmore, just near the train station.
It's the second bat i have seen this week.



It looks like it is hovering in the wind like
an eagle about to swoop on its prey.

Bats on a wire #2

This bat was near my house in Stanmore, Sydney.
When i was photographing it,

i saw a woman looking at it with her binoculars.

She was from an animal rescue group

(ironically called w.i.r.e.s)

and she told me that sometimes they find

a baby bat still alive and clinging to the dead mother bat.

On this occasion, there was no baby bat.

Life on Mars

Well i'm slowly continuing with my boxed dioramas. I've just finished this one called
" Life on Mars".

Xbox for Xmas

I've made a new
Holy Card for the
festive season.

I think i may have
to spend a few more
weeks in purgatory
for this.
Enjoy!

Bats on a wire #1

Summer in Sydney is usually accompanied by the appearance of electrocuted bats dangling from the overhead power lines that litter our streets.

The bats look like insects trapped in high tech spider webs.

Suspended in grusome, twisted poses,
a transient monument to their last few seconds of life.


Was it a quick death ?...probably
....a painless death ?...i hope so...
but their curled up toes may indicate otherwise.
This summer i plan to photograph and document these poor unfortunate bats.

This Bat was in Newtown, Sydney.

Residue

Arriving home this afternoon, I noticed this dead piece of chewed up apple on the concrete in the front yard.
The sun was at just the right angle to reveal/expose a multitude of snail and slug trails to and from the apple.

It looked so wonderful, i just had to photograph it. I like to think that there was this frenzied feast taking part during the night and that the snail and slug trails are the only evidence of that event.

Like blood splatters left at a murder scene, the trails hint at the brutality of the attack on that poor defenceless piece of apple. Poor little apple.
