CURVY Women’s Creative Conference

Posted on 5 September, 2015 by Justin Fox

I went to support Nana who was invited to be a part of a panel discussion at this year’s inaugural CURVY Women’s Creative Conference at aMBUSH, Central Park.

There were 8 women on the panel and the topic was “The Art of making it”. The session kicked off with everyone introducing themselves with their story on how they got to where they are now (Nana’s story was particularly awesome, it really came from the heart).

Topics touched on Art vs. Design, making a living doing what you love. Having to do your time with crap work to make ends meet/gain experience. Business; Art schools should teach business, how to invoice, connections to legal help with agreements, etc. The topic of kids and a lack of time was brought up too; priority shifts as well as success stories of mothers who are creative directors at the top of their game. Social media, Instagram, how do Artists keep up with the pace of social media marketing. Advertising targeted specifically at women, connectivity, ultimately a lot was brought up in such a short period of time!

I’m painting again!

Posted on 20 July, 2015 by Justin Fox

Get Arty on the deck, cause the sun was just too nice.

Krystal.

Krystal’s got a really distinguishable and unique style. This piece inspired by my aquarium!

Krysti’s painting is off to a killer start. Such a mature painting. I love it.

Man painting is hard! But hey, not bad for day #1 right?!

Spent the day getting arty with 2 arty farts, Krysti and Krystal. Mad tunes, good vibes, such a rad arvo and I’m truly happy to be painting again. It’s been over 15 years since I’ve painted. I’m painting a portrait of Krystal, it’s not right, yet, but I think I’ll get there in time!

New Tattoo from Loic @ Tora Sumi

Posted on 13 June, 2015 by Justin Fox

Loic’s guns.

1 2 3 GO! Completely painless spot to be honest!

Took longer than I expected. Loic did such a great job.

Loic and I post tattoo, the guy’s a champ!

Hey Cheryl! Cheers for taking photos, and holding my hand haha.

Love it.

Got a small tattoo done today by Loic at Tora Sumi in Balmain. I’ve always had a thing for 8’s (because Asian!), and since all the tattoo’s on my body are ying yangs and circular/cyclic, I thought I’d get the infinity symbol, but flipped on its side to also represent an 8. So happy. I’m ecstatic about it, and despite how small the tattoo is, it’s super significant for me and marks my 40th quite nicely.

Great vibes too!

Dropped in to the 8th annual MCA Zine Fair today to say hi to Jess who had a table there selling her zines! I was there early, and it looked like it was getting busier by the minute so I hope everyone running a table had a great day. Be sure to check out Jess’ site: http://www.jessicata.com/

LP’s Quality Meats + Ambush Gallery Mambo Show

Posted on 11 March, 2015 by Justin Fox

LP’s Quality Meats. Tucked away in a little laneway in Chippendale.

Inviting!

Surprisingly huge on the inside, and Queens of the Stone Age blaring on the stereo.

15 Hour BBQ Beef Short Rib! Kale, and Mash!

Next stop, the new Ambush Gallery launch night at Central Plaza.

Massive mural finished, could still smell the paint!

Launching with a bang! Celebrating 30 years of Mambo!

Lots of memoriescame flooding back for me. I’ve owned a lot of Mambo gear in my past.

Car Art.

Great art on show but I loved the floor the most!

Nanami.

Group shot of a few of the artists who had work on in the show.

Peace!

Spotted… Jirat!

Another Jirat piece downstairs.

I’ve really become a sweet tooth over the past few years. Gelato from Anita Gelato on the way home (watermelon and mint, so good!).

Art Gallery Day with Cacia Zoo

Posted on 6 March, 2015 by Justin Fox

First stop; Bourke St Bakery to introduce Cacia to Sausage Rolls!

Cacia x Cacti.

Next stop, the amazing Brett Whiteley Studio. SUPER inspiring, had us both wanting to paint so bad.

Kurtosh! They make these coiled pastry things to order! 10 minutes and our nutella one was done, so yummy!

Next stop, White Rabbit Gallery.

A huge upside down lit cigarette.

A cityscape on closer inspection. So cool.

The gallery is so dedicated, they cut a circular hole in their roof to fit this piece.

Dan/Faz from kind of gallery has an awesome new Skate shop at Central Park.

VHS! Old Skool Cool!

Ambush Gallery are taking over the top floor of Central Park, such awesome news. The Mambo retrospective should be awesome. The floor alone is killer!
