Favela @ Jugglers - Fri 26/06
FAVELA is a group show by Artists from Jugglers' Emerging Artist Development Program [EADP].
These Brisbane Artists have been polishing their practice at Jugglers Art Space every Friday morning with the support and mentoring of Lucks, Emily Devers, Ray Coffey, Yannick Blattner and Peter Breen.
Ordinarily, 'FAVELA' refers to Brazilian shanty towns housing the poor, but rich in community.
Through the EADP we've established a strong community who are dedicated to creating beauty amongst the mundane.
As a community, we've come together to show you how effortlessly the work of these Brisbane Artists shifts from bricks to white walls.
Group show features work by -

Classic Hits
The most visual book on early 1970s graffiti ever published. The authors were themselves artists and maintain long friendships with other artists, as well as photo archives of the time, on display in this one-of-a-kind book. Early 70s New York saw the growth of a new phenomenon. Key pioneers tell their own story. Eye-opening first-hand story accounts in pictures and text. The names names here have star status far beyond graffiti culture; without them, no Seen, no Banksy, no Revok. In this glimpse of a different New York, there is an invaluable picture of graffiti in the early, playful years. Essays and quotations by: Ale One, All Jive 161, Blade, Cay 161, Checker 170, Clyde, Death, FDT 56, Flint 707, Iz The Wiz, Jester 1, Joe 182, Lava, LSD OM, Mico, Pnut 2, Roger 1, Ski 168, Snake 1, Taki 183, Vamm Photos by: Alan Fleisher, Robert Browning, Bill Ray, Jack Stewart.

The Voice of the ghetto - Stayhigh149 R.I.P
This quote by Stayhigh149 says it all, it's a real reality check..
Yet another sad loss to the New York and international graffiti world.
Stay High 149 aka Wayne Roberts died at 61.
The highly respected “voice of the ghetto” has passed away as one
of the most important writers in the history of
graffiti.
His work is one of the earliest dating back to the late 60s
and carried
a palpable level of innovation in an era in which this mass
phenomenon
was only in its embryonic stage.
Stay High 149 was the first to adopt an icon
rather than a typographic tag.
His “Smoker” was a
subversive spin-off of the logo developed for the
1960s classic spy
thriller television show “The Saint.”
One man who will stay up forever...
Rest in peace Stay High 149.

STAY HIGH 149 R.I.P
Arrived home tonight to hear about the passing of Oldschool master
Stayhigh 149, We will be showing our respect over the next few days
with photos of his artwork that blessed nyc for over 30 years.
A few years back when i visited the bench at 149st st, i nearly died
when i saw this tag at the bottem of the stairs ,merely meters from the bench.
Very humbling to say the least.

Crush City Tattoo Presents....
The exhibition, Sam’s first solo show, features striking new works on canvas using oil, acrylics and aerosol. With several successful group shows under his belt and nonstop tattoo and canvas commissions, Sam has had to lock himself away and surrender much of this precious income to prepare his prolific new body of work.
Sam says he has adopted a fresh stylistic approach for this exhibition, “my new work is a hybrid of different styles. I like to take the raw expression of street art and the clandestine styles of modern and traditional tattoo design out of their natural environments. For the first time in years I have been able to flesh out all these ideas I have been developing, without having to meet anyone else’s expectations or specifications. I am excited to unveil this new style, which I feel is totally my own.”
In the last 10 years street art and tattooing has seen a surge in interest from the public and broader art world. While Sam has benefited professionally from this trend, this exhibition sees him moving away from the machine and spray can, and transforming his love of urban cultures into a fine art. Much of Sam’s new work is reminiscent of traditional Japanese art and tattoo (irezumi) with bold, colourful graffiti aesthetics. His duel occupations as a tattoo and aerosol artist have led him to developing this unique crossover style that is hugely appealing to fans of tattoo, street and contemporary fine art.
The Quiet Storm exhibition offers the pleasures of permanent ink, without the pain, the vibrancy of street art, without the legalities. It is an exhibition of exceptional artistry from a young, highly sought after tattoo and street artist with fresh, distinctive brushwork.
The Quiet Storm exhibition opens at Jugglers Art Space in Fortitude Valley on Friday 22 June from 6pm onwards, and closes on Saturday 23 June, 5pm.
