May I present the Quality Woman!
What does that one say?
They all say the same thing.
Everyone in Paris is laughing.
- I'm not. - This is all your fault.
- I know. I said things I shouldn't have.
- She got upset.
- Just a lovers' quarrel. - A what?
- You and that girl... - Why not?
- Impossible! You're in the fashion world.
- We're cold, artificial and without sentiment.
- How can you be in love? - I'm a black sheep.
- What about my collection? Without her I cannot show it.
- The gowns were sewn on her!
- I'm facing ruin!
She'll show up. The girl has integrity.
She's filled with virtues.
Only she's not wasting them on us.

ANDY UPROCK
ANDY UPROCK'S INCESSANT QUESTIONING OF HIS SURROUNDINGS AND HIS ASTUTE FASCINATION WITH LIFE, RHYTHM, AND MOVEMENT IS WHAT MAKIES HIM A UNIQUE ARTIST.
CUPROCKING IS ONE SMALL PART OF THE DIVERSE TOOLS AND MEDIUMS HE USES TO CREATE. HE WORKS AS A CONTEMPORARY ARTIST THROUGH PAINTING, SCULPTURE, SOUND AND INSTALLATION.
JAMES ETTELSON
UP AND COMER. LOOK OUT FOR HIS SOLO SHOW COMING IN FEB 2010.
WE ARE REALLY INTO THE BLEND OF POP AND STREET ART THAT JAMES HAS MADE HIS OWN. WE CAN LOOK OUT OUR WINDOW AND SAY HI TO SOME OF HIS SUBJECTS, THE FRIENDLY NEIGHBOURHOOD HOMELESS CHARACTERS THAT HANG OUT IN OUR LITTLE DARLO GHETTO.

Andrea Venegas
The circus is a place where illusion and spectacle take us out of our everyday existence. This series exposes the everydayness of the circus. The driving force behind all Andreas work is to investigate lives far removed from her own until she uncovers something universal in what she observes.
These candid snaps were taken over the course of a summer that Andrea spent with the circus. She spent time with them every time they performed in the city somewhere, getting to know the people and the pattern of their lives.
ANDREA DID OUR SUMMER SHOOT WE LOVE HER STYLE. THE PEOPLE IN HER PORTAITS ALWAYS ELICIT SOME REACTION AND HAVE AN UNDENIABLE INTENSITY AND RAWNESS.
ELLE SWADLING
ELLE IS A RECENT GRADUATE OF SYDNEY COLLEGE OF THE ARTS AND HAS BEEN EXHIBITING AROUND SYDNEY FOR A FEW YEARS. THE MAIN THEMES OF MANY OF HER WORKS ARE GROWTH, DEGENERATION, TRANSFORMATION AND ILLUSION. SHE USES THE WAY SHE MANIPULATES THE MATERIALS SHE IS WORKING WITH TO EXPLORE AND EXPOSE THE TENSION CREATED BY DIFFERENT NATURAL FORCES THAT EXIST IN A PHYSICAL SPACE OR WITHIN A PAINTING.push and pull, transparency/opacity, absurd/rational, order/disorder, chance/control.
WE LOVE HER PIECES. THEY REMIND US OF LYING ON OUR BACKS IN THE GRASS LOOKING AT THE CLOUDS AND THE DIFFERENT SHAPES AND COLOURS THEY MAKE, ALWAYS DIFFERENT FOR EVERYONE WHO TAKES THE TIME TO LOOK.
Please note my photography skills do not match those of the artworks, so please come in and see them yourself! xx
RYAN HANRAHAN
RYAN GREW UP ON THE SOUTH COAST BUT IS NOW SYDNEY BASED. HIS artistic training included multiple portraits of Shredder, Ninja Turtles , Rocksteady and Beebop. Ryan then moved onto G.I. Joes and Rambo type characters, where he specialized in drawing big poorly stitched wounds covering each characters body. Present day includes bass riffs, and day dreams.
“plan b. a modern tail of anaesthetic. hit rock bottom. crush full stops with bear hands. say words over and over until they sound weird. then add subtitles. yeah thats right. spirals are broken circles. lets get together”
RYAN HAS DONE AN AMAZING JOB TAKING OUR BORING UGLY WALL AND TURNING IT INTO SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL AND INTERESTING THAT WE CAN SIT ON THE COUCH AND MUSE OVER.

cool shades babe.
never too soon
oh reckless abandon
like no one's
watching you
a moment, a love
a dream, a laugh
a kiss, a cry
our rights, our wrongs
a moment, a love
a dream, a laugh
a moment, a love
a dream, a laugh
cause i'll be comin over
and while our bloods still young
it's so young
it runs
and we won't stop till it's over
won't stop to surrender
