These make me really sad that my mini skirt print was damaged and I had to send back. I got the boat man, but it just isn't the same.

Mine was damaged too. I didn't like the boatman, so took a refund instead. I had to file a Paypal dispute to get it, but all's well that ends well. 

[Coach]

These are gorgeous.

I like the boat man, but it lacks the sensuality of the females... It would be awesome paired with one.

That being said, I really dig these paintings.

Man I love listers stuff

[robertjones]

Sorry to hear about people that got damaged prints.

New one up now!
'Rubber Glove Dame'

[settingson]

And I had told myself I wasn't going to spend anymore on art for a while as I have 3 biggies in for framing!
Too late now though, personally I blame Paypal, it makes it all so quick!

Hi guys,

I'm in Sydney for a few days. Any recommendations whilst I'm out here? Galleries, street pieces...even any good bars/ restaurants.

[astrobboy]

Newtown for food and some street art.
And the yearly Newtown festival is on this Sunday as well.

[Jeezuz Jones Snr]

We moved to Brisbane a few months ago, shame as I would have shown you around.

If its your first time??after breakfast walk through Hyde park and go here
www.artgallery.nsw.gov.au/exhibitions/pop-to-popism/

It has amazing art anyway and this looks like an amazing great exhibition...After the museum,walk through botanic gardens, toward opera house, (go in and get up close to it it's an amazing building) have a cold James Boags beer in the opera bar and with a view of the bridge. Walk around to wharf 3 get a ferry to manly beach, weather looks good take a dip, be careful as you've had a beer. Join in a game of volley ball with some hot chicks it's hot and its time for another beer!!

Walk back to the wharf turn left to the wharf bar, try a nice cold Hahn beer with some seafood.. Finish that get ferry back to circular quay, walk around circular quay to the contemporary museum (its free) great place. After half hour in there, it's beer time walk around the 'Rocks' to 'the Australian' pub, cracking pub with lots of amber ales (crocodile,emu an kangaroo pizzas here all good) Then walk down the hill to the 'harbour view' pub walk up the long stairs to the balcony and have a few beers under the bridge and take in the rocks..

After that go back to hotel, quick shower change - then get down the bars in darling harbour and get on the cocktails for a sugar boost work your way around to the casino. That's a lot to do in in one day and I do that with all my friends/family that come over and they love it...my tours consists of a lot of pubs

Day 2 get a bus to bondi junction, another bus to bronte and walk to bondi (only do this if its nice and sunny). Have a surf lesson in bronte, time it so when you walk and reach bondi it's lunch time and yes time for beers!!

Get a window seat on 'Ravesis' and stay there for a few cold ones and lunch, then have a quick dip (always in betweenthe flags) walk north to bondi RSL take in the view and get on the beers. If you stay in bondi that night, ask where the beach road bar is (my old local which I miss dearly) always lively..

Lots more do do: bridge climb, sydney centre point, watsons bay, paddingtonarkets, go to Chinatown and paddy's markets. Shan gri la hotel (for cocktails). paddington pub crawl. kings cross at night l. You could do a trip outside of Sydney to other beaches, wine tour..

If you have any questions drop me a pm. Have a good one

[Jeezuz Jones Snr]

Wow good timing Newtown festival is great so you have to go here also Njoi

[Swiss Alan]

Fav bar of all time is shady pines which is up an alley near junction of crown at and oxford st. It's unmarked so google it to find the entrance.

They have a sister whiskey bar called the Baxter inn. Again it's unmarked and accessed via a side street.

Both are brilliant. Art wise I wouldn't bother and just go to Melbourne.

Cool, enjoy mate and hope its nice weather also...

[Hugs]

The Criterion pub not far from Hyde park is fantastic if you like guinness and the craic.

Spent St Pat's weekend in Sydney this year and it was the best time..

Doyles at Watsons bay is nice as well...been a while since I was there but it was always good, nice ferry ride over as well.

[pollywaffle]

Finally, something I can properly contribute to around here!

Where abouts in Sydney are you staying? How long will you be here for?
Definitely agree on Shady Pines and Baxters. They can get VERY busy on the weekends though and you pretty much can't find a seat. But still pop in, you might be lucky.
Newtown is great for food, especially if you like Thai food. Every second restaurant is literally thai food. There's also some great bars along there.
Glebe isn't too far away and they have some good places there. My brother's art gallery is in Glebe, however, no exhibition is on at the moment.
We're having some lovely weather lately, so you could even pop by Bondi beach. It's pretty touristy and people think it's lame, but really, it's a beautiful beach. There's some Lister artwork up the top near the pathway, too.

In terms of street art, as has been said before, book a flight to Melbourne I was there last week and they blow us out of the water.

Hey guys, kinda new to the forum and wasn't sure where to post this but this seems like as good a place as any.

Welcome to the forum blazinrokz. Thanks for posting the article link.

[mpow]

Can't wait to see the Laxarides show. Recently put together a stunning display in NYC at JLG. Need more Lister in my life.

[blazinrokz]

Cheers mate

Try the Opera bar .Don't forget your cheque book though .It does have the best view though .

Arrest threat leaves street artist feeling no love


A Brisbane street artist whose works sell for upwards of $10,000 apiece says he's losing the will to paint in his home city.

Anthony Lister was arrested on 12 outstanding wilful damage and graffiti charges early Saturday morning, after being pulled over at Woolloongabba for a routine random breath test.

"I was actually driving away from a person's house where I'd been asked to paint a wall," he said.

"My hands were completely covered in paint."

Lister said he was forced to leave his car in a bus lane near the Story Bridge after police took him to the watchhouse on arrest warrants dating back to 2009.

"I spent 10 or 12 hours in there - as every incarcerated civilian does - freezing, hungry and bored," he said.

Welp, that sucks, though I can't say I'm surprised. Blame Australia.
