Crafty Pegs: Fresh Paint!

Fresh Paint!

Last Wednesday, I was on the bus going shopping when I spotted some new outsider art on a fence. I was so excited that I wanted to photograph it, but the bus was traveling too fast to catch it! Darn!

So, today, I was out taking a walk to the chemist to buy some antihistamines when I came upon and took some photos of it and some other graffiti that was behind the shops where a gate was open! How wicked is this find of great, fresh art? I even found a tribute a young man who died in a car crash 6 months ago that I spotted around the same area; and thought it needed to be shown. Enjoy!

The tribute to the lost young man.

This work can be found along Kingston Road near where Pet County used to be, on the same side of the street. It's great work. Until my next post, keep creating!

Paintings, Yarn Bombing, Outsider Work and Other Interesting Things

Hi there and welcome to used to be 'A Natural Background' and is now 'Crafty Pegs'. This is an art blog which I hope will pique your interest in many diverse areas in the art world. I've opened a small hobby business which has spilled over into Facebook and onto my website - which you will find on the sidebar.

I'm a volunteer at the Logan Art Gallery and have been there for almost 20 years; so I have seen many different styles of art come through its doors, met some great artists and a few collectors as well. However, I'm also an artist in my spare time. I use acrylic paints and have been attempting to find my style for the past few years.

Not only will you see my work up here on my blog (through links I put up inside the blogs themselves), but you will also see links to photos of outsider work which is not my own. This work is from around Logan City and Brisbane. Some of it is little more than graffiti while others will be public murals and great works of art by some community groups.

I hope to keep you up-to-date with other artists such as Anthony Lister and Chris Trotter. So, please enjoy this little blog... peruse and comment and please do follow; as you never know what I may find out there to put up here.
