New Mural Art By The Sillier Than Sally Crew

Another few fun days were had at the Airtasker offices in the City, for their office beautification/colour project!   Cara and I spent 2 full days creating a mural across 3 columns in their offices, to bring some colour and fun into their work lives....white walls are so yesterday =)

The Brief - Bring colour and life into the office. Incorporate the Airtasker theme, flavor and three logos. Fresh, Funky and fun......All, while not destroying the carpet!
So we created a fun, bright environment where Airtasker runners went about their errands.

Check out the awesome new Airtasker company!  Airtasker is a community marketplace where people can outsource everyday tasks and errands to friendly and reliable people.  It’s so easy and free to post! 
Facebook.  or   Website.

Seriously this is the next big thing... outsource any job you like, or pick up some spare odd jobs (like the mural we did)...It's just brill, and the site is so easy to use!!

So rather than waffle on any more here are some photos of our handy work

The Airtasker Office, and Cara getting stuck into the painting.

The Mural design is spread across 3 large columns, totally around 8m long x 2.5 m high.
Thats a lot of space to cover!

The finished (fantabulous) mural!

Shot from the other side of the columns.

The lovely Cara and myself.... after a long day of painting!

The entire 1st column.....

The entire 2nd Column....

and the entire last column...

A great time was had all round, working on this mammoth of a mural and with the great Airtasker team.

Do you have a wall space that needs a bit of Sillier than Sally beautification??  =)
If so give us a bell.

I might not have won....but A bloody good night was had by all! Check out my art work, from my previous live Art Battle!!

Just recently I competed in a live art battle at Name This Bar on Oxford St.
There was plenty of drinking drawing and dancing...so I was in my element.

We certainly had a fun filled night, I was up against artist Claire Nakazawa.

We battled it out on the bar walls over 100 minutes, our theme being "A View From My Mind"

My work represented the workings of my mind, the twists and turns, the forks in my thought patterns...the sheer craziness of it all, and the whole magpie mentality I have going for me (I like shiny objects).

So below is our efforts for the night, Claire took the win...but I will get her next time =)

Check out our lovely work and the fab video put together by Ernesto Sumarkho and Name This Bar.

Art Battles Australia is a unique LIVE art movement - hosted at Oxford Street's Name This Bar - combining art and entertainment, with a competitive edge, giving artists and entertainers the opportunity to expose their talents to the public in live shows and exhibitions.

Some of our awesome friends and supporters, there on the night!



Muah, painting away...100 minutes is not long in my books for a painting...so I had to stay focused, though I did fit some dancing in as well =)



Claire Nakazawas finished piece, Claire won our Art Battle.

My finished piece!
I even managed to get custom tweaked party poppers up there to continue the flow of craziness from my mind out into the audience. At one stage I actually glue gunned my hand to the wall in my hurry!

All up it was a fantastic night!
Art Battles continue, every second Thursday...with a semi coming up this Thursday the 30th.

Get down there and check it out....and don't forget to check out my new street art adorning the outer bar, photos coming next blog.

My Art Battle on Oxford St.... this Thursday!!

This Thursday night, I am flexing my art muscles in a live art battle on Oxford St!

Its set to be a fun filled night full of good music, drinking, dancing and a hell of a lot of art!

Name this bar on Oxford Street is a unique, brilliant bar, it hosts fantastic DJ's, live music and of course... live art battles!

Six great artists have already battled it out on the pubs walls over the last few months....I am next on the list and battling against a damn good artist, Claire Nakazawa.

The art theme for this battle is "A view from my mind" so I of course have all sorts of crazy ideas running around in my head at the moment.....now to pick one?!

 
So come join in on the fun, have a drink and cheer me on, while I make as much of a mess of the pub walls as possible =)

Name this bar is on Taylor Square end of Oxford St, look out for my Sunday Sets Mural on the outside and you can't miss it!

Our snazzy stall at Glebe markets!

Hello hello!
I know these photos are late... but hey, better late then never I (and about a million other people) say.

We had a great day at Glebe markets a few Saturdays ago, the day started out rainy but the sun won out in the end....we went home sunburnt by the end of the day

Check out our lovely stall in the photos below.

Next market will be in the beginning of March, so keep an ear out for where and when.

Cara and I at our lovely stall.

Some of our design lines - Bunting, Clutches and Hand Screen Printed Tote bags.
All hand made with love in Sydney.

Hand made Jewellery.
A variety of rings and necklaces....my favorites are the necklaces that are made up of words and sayings cut out of lovely old vintage books, each one is so unique.

The Sillier than Sally stall crew.
Cara and her bub Cypres, Brett looking snazzy as ever under a parasol, me checking over my lovely wares and Amy, doing her thing!
A girl couldn't ask for a more awesome crew!

We had a lot of other visitors throughout the day...it was great to see so many friendly faces.

Hopefully we will see you (if you live in the area code) at the next markets coming up in March.

Street Art/Mural by the Sillier Than Sally Crew!!

This week has been a busy and fun one, full of jewellery designing and painting walls!

My sisters, Cara, Amy and I had a great day on Wednesday, getting our street art on.

We painted a mural on the outside of the pub/club called Name This Bar, on Oxford St,

for the upcoming Sunday Sets DJ Competition, hosted by Flight Deck.

Starting this Sunday at Name This Bar - 6 till late.
Be there if your interested in checking out what all the fuss is about.

I have included some images of the lead up to our handy work below....

Setting up camp, on the not so clean streets of Oxford.

Baby Cypress gets the best spot and also doubles as a paper weight, so we have no fly away drop sheets to worry about. I start with preliminary drawings. Cara gets the tedious job of cutting out all the stencils to be used for spray painting...I love being able to palm off the tedious jobs to Cara....Cara doesn't always like my palming efforts as much as I do though.

Everyone is getting stuck into the painting....even baby Cypress wants a go.

We had a fab day, painting, spray painting, and of course some sneaky painting on each others appendages ... also had some great conversations with interested passer-bys.

Our mural coming together, just putting on the final touches.

Finished and ready to rock out for the upcoming Sunday Sets.

Don't forget to check out (and like) our new Face book page if you have not already!
