The slate’s cold tile is richly grey
Sharp as a straining gland,
A loo is flushing, people swing
Washing up their hands.
But Cott’s hands, or Mossy Park’s
Snatch and catch and grope:
A fellow cannot disembark
With trolleys at the Grove…
With apologies for any inconveineience to Elinor Wylie.
WA Toady announces that Maylands has gone “wall mural crazy”. The curator, the wonderfully named Leo Flavel surprisingly does seem to be in agreement with my point that those sponsored by government or grants are overwhelmingly shit…
Well yes. If your council is paying for it will be crap. And I don’t agree that a blank wall is always worse as previously discussed. But he seems to miss the point that the craze is already over. Long over. And the result of getting agreement from everyone involved will have exactly the same watering down effect as the council paying for it. It needs to be a piece that shopkeepers, councillors and grant dispensers (YWLs?) hate. Or the street art critique pictured. That’s what would bring people from outside to visit Maylands, not pieces that have been given the thumbs up by a coffee shop owner.
One TWOP connection is that our old friend Mark “for the want of a ladder” Shime is one of the artists. A lifetime ago that seems. And despite Teh Flav’s enthusiasm, the pieces he has curated are overwhelmingly crap.
A bird that has access to 1500 birds per hectare may think they are lucky at first. But when you get to the second hectare, you just want a cup of tea. By Dave P.
We are approaching peak vibrancy. Bento noted this Nathan Hondros(!!!) report and said: “I can’t think of anything more Mandurah than this.” Epic quote from a policeman: “There’s no need to reinvent the wheel and set up something for Mandurah just because they’re too lazy to drive to Kwinana.” After yer Crabtown burnouts, youse head to teh Goldfields, for a f***** good festival time. 
Ahh. Someone has regained their religion. And spelling. Gooseberry Hill. Shove it Dawkins. Are these burnables?
This is the state of Bayswater. The once proud vinyl lettered apostrophe adding suburb is broken. Bulldoze the lot and let tilt up pacify their minds.
Some may have noticed my railing on various media against the Ken Done teatowelism that suburban wall murals have become. If your moronic council is sponsoring an art form, dude, it’s played. If a council is not sandblasting your artwork, you can be guaranteed it’s shit. If your dumbarse suburban council that can barely collect your recycling, is flying in teatowel artists to paint up your walls – it’s over.
This however is another level. You can’t talk about the pumping, pumping, pumping of a vibrating hand when you are the one doing the vandalism can you? When you are also really bad? And your kerning is an arse? Or does he mean Teh Stormy Mills in the background? It’s another towel artist? Whatever, they’re all Stormie Mills to me. I don’t care. Perineum captures the dying in the arse of Stormie Mills wall teatowelism. We hope. I have to say that I prefer this to having a giant numbat on this wall.
Now, finally, a masterpiece of public art in Perth! This depiction of punters staggering and chundering their way through Perth City link, no doubt moving through to defecate in Yagan square, finally leaving their soiled undies and empty wine coolers on Roe street surpasses anything bronzed or mural-ed in Perth before. This is the best piece of public sculpture since…EVER. As captured beautifully by Dave M. Wait is that a wall mural in the background of one shot? Stormie Mills, you can fuck off now. This is the future. I hope this piece will represent me on my way home from the Guildford Hotel opening.
