Stick Out Stand Out, by StickOut on Jan 11, 2024 3:11:31 GMT 1, Welcome back after the Christmas break!
If anyone would like to support a fellow forum member's first venture into creating street art, Id love it if you could check me out on Instagram at StickOutStandOut
www.instagram.com/stickoutstandout/
Like many reading this, my walls are full of art I've discovered through this community and I've always wanted to take the leap and create something myself. About a year ago my wife and I had our first baby, which meant I've been pushing a pram around almost non stop since. To add some variety to our step collecting, I started seeking out street art across Melbourne and these walks quickly turned into scouting missions for locations to bring some of my ideas to life.
Some of my inspiration comes from Invader mosaics and Obey stickers as I've always enjoyed a treasure hunt and seeing what someone has chosen as their backdrop. Also, I have a new found respect for some of my favourite artists, Pahnl and Stik. Capturing emotion or telling a story in only a couple of carefully placed lines was much more challenging (and fun) than I expected.
Over the last year I've stuck hand drawn stickers around Melbourne and Id love to share my journey with you all. Tomorrow I will start a 10 day countdown with some stop motion I've made, before rolling straight into the main event. Hopefully this is the start of something great for StickOut. Worst case scenario I have had a load of fun doing it, discovered some Australian artists and learned a lot about my local city.

Stick Out Stand Out, by StickOut on Jan 22, 2024 9:26:40 GMT 1, Firstly, thanks to those of you who have already given me a follow, like or some words of encouragement. It really means a lot as I step out into this new art arena 
Today is the first day of my actual project, so hereโs a tease for those who arenโt yet following my instagram. The perfect place for any tourist to begin and one of Melbourneโs most iconic landmarks, Flinders Street Stationโฆ

Stick Out Stand Out, by StickOut on Feb 7, 2024 9:01:28 GMT 1, David Shrigley was over in Melbourne a couple of weeks ago for the opening of his tennis ball exchange at the National Gallery of Victoria. I went along with my painted tennis ball and he was more than happy to promote StickOutStandOut, posing for a couple of photos before adding it to his 8000 other tennis balls. What an absolute legend!
