I didn’t know that green and red crochet flowers were native to Prahran….
This inspiring piece of street art put a HUGE smile on face when i noticed it in Gratton Street Gardens (next to Aesop on Greville Street) on my way to work this morning. I wish the artist responsible would jump my fence and ‘grow’ her lovely knitted flowers in my backyard

People keep on telling me that there’s a Vexta mural at South Melbourne Market. In my quest to locate it yesterday (I didn’t find it by the way… directions anyone?) I stumbled upon another absolute find – The Super Cool.
What’s The Super Cool?
“A mobile emporium that goes to the people with an eclectic mix of everyday objects from around the globe. We sell stationary, design books, homewares, posters & art, cool kids toys and vintage industrial objects.”
I wish I’d stumbled upon these guys earlier (they had a pop-up store in Melbourne Central early December) as they sell a great selection of unique and quirky items, all reasonably priced.
At Signed & Numbered we really pride ourself on the look and feel of the store. Every square meter is utilised to the max and this is what caught my eye about The Super Cool. Their pop-up store is brilliantly designed, totally mobile yet totally stylish.
The pop-up store will be at the South Melbourne Market on market days (Wed, Fri, Sat & Sun) until the 4th of March 2012. You can find them at SO:ME Space (enter via corner of York & Cecil Street) or check them out online at www.thesupercool.com.
Happy shopping x

Yesterday ABC Radio National broadcasted a fantastic half hour interview with Melbourne’s own Miso.
Below is a written intro and link to the interview audio. Enjoy!
Stanislava Pinchuk, or Miso as she is better known, is a young street artist who has a mythical, fairytale quality. Her work sways between pasting hand-drawn portraits in city streets to intricate drawings and installations in gallery spaces. They often feature figures that have an early 20th century Eastern European look and feel to them — very delicate and touching images.
Miso was one of the artists in the street art exhibition called Space Invaders at the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra earlier this year.
She shares a studio space with her partner and fellow artist Ghostpatrol, in an old Gothic building in the heart of Melbourne which is itself a strangely magical place.

And Miso’s new lino print Winter Evenings available at S&N…
‘on winter evenings, when the devil disguised as a snowstorm, somersaulted and howled under the iron gutters of the roofs’

Karen, the ying to the yang of Moose Allain was kind enough to send me some information about Moose’s work. I thought i’d share some snippets with you… My drawings often start with ink splashes or marks on the paper, not completely random as i choose colour and intensity of distribution, but chance plays a [...]
