Pretty Things

Pretty things, so what if I like pretty things.
Pretty lies, so what if I like pretty lies.
From where you are, to where I am now.
I need these pretty things, around the planets of our phase.
Everything's a sign of my astrology.
From where you are, to where I am now.
Is its own galaxy.
Be a star and fall down somewhere next to me.
And make it past your colour TV.
This time will pass and with it will me.
And all these pretty things.
Don't say you don't notice them.

Pretty things. Don’t tell me you don’t notice them.

These pretty things were found at Ici et La.

Wallism_Serendipity

Walking home can sometimes be a drag.  Sometimes it throws wonderful things in front us.

Pure ‘corner of the eye’ stuff.

This example of Wallism is to be found at the intersection of Cleveland and Regent Streets, Redfern / Chippendale.

It wont be there for long as it is but a happy accident of actions and reactions.

Just love finding something I was not looking for.

The subversion of everyday objects

Artist Brad Downey’s unauthorised artworks in public spaces often explore the relationships between ideas, and objects against their context.

He does this by subverting everyday objects like pavement tiles, brooms, road signs and bicycles in a surreal manner, making for some very visually arresting scenes.

Unfortunately for Brad he also has had “run-ins with police while working in cities ranging from London to Amsterdam”, 

as his art and “guerilla marketing projects” straddle the border between art and vandalism.

Check out Brad’s other installations on Pinterest as they are delightful and challenging.

Brad shifted a little.
