Sniffle Co. make things out of wood – badges, necklaces and buttons. Designer John Patterson’s might be better know as the guitarist for The Grates , but it’s safe to say that he seems to have more than just one talent. His badges depict everything from ciggies to guns to Woody Allen. Sniffle Co. stuff is available from Leeloo or from the Sniffle Co. website; this one will set you back AUD$38 with free shipping.
Able and Game make cards and stationery that are quirky and cute rather than cliche and predictable. They are Melbourne based designers so that makes them extra special! I first saw their stuff when received a “i’d go to zone 2 for you” on my anniversary. I’ve notice these cards popping up all over the CBD. They are unique and each their own story to tell. They cards for for round USD$4 each, bulk discounts are available for their Etsy store.
We decided to watch the sun set over the ocean. I rarity for us east coast dwellers. Unfortunately it all fizzled out when the sun sunk beneath this body of clouds. In the minutes before this is Tim lining up a shot of beautiful sky line and turtle island.
It’s Roid Week again! This time Fall as the yanks like to call it – but for us in the Southern end of the planet…it’s Spring!! This is my first addition for Roid Week 09 Spring. It was taken in Wilson’s Prom on the Loo-Errn Track, on a very cloudy, overcast day. Using my trusty one step and polaroid 600 expired film. Bring on the rest of the week!
I was walking back to the car after dinner on Elizabeth Street and I looked up at something hanging off the wooden telegraph pole. A quick picture, some admiration and I was on my way. Later I twittered the image and a mate sent me a link the junky project.
In the words of special agent junatronic: junky is an enigmatic street art avenger who creates creatures from the debris of society, then resurrects them onto wooden telegraph poles and other forgotten places around the globe, (well around Australia so far). All my work is made entirely from recycled or found objects except the nails, i can never find enough nails. I found that there was a bit of a following for my work here on flickr, so i decided to open an account and upload my documentation of this ongoing project. All hail the mighty junky army, for soon there global invasion will be complete. Piece.
Keep an eye out in Melbourne town, or any where through the east coast for that matter.

Melbourne Silver Mine Inc presents…
Opening Night Friday 7th August 2009 at 6pm
Gallery times: Mon-Fri 12-8pm, Sat & Sun 10am-6pm
=================================================================
Now in its third year, The Melbourne Silver Mine’s UNSENSORED09 is the work of 44
artists using film in their photographic expression.
The spectrum of methods, genres and statements in the exhibited works are as broad
as the spectrum of artists, and visitors can expect everything from the polished to the lo-fi,
avant garde to traditional, shot on equipment from modern to nigh-arcane. Film is the
common thread in the group: each artist exploits the nuances of film-based capture in
tandem with new post-analogue processes and methods.
Works will be available for purchase during the exhibition, and many of the artists will
be present through the duration of the show and on opening night.
Unsensored07 saw 12 photographers presenting work, which doubled in 2008.
Unsensored expands once again in 2009, continuing to showcase new works by
emerging photographers. Unsensored09 is a project of The Melbourne Silver Mine,
a non-profit incorporated association based in Melbourne, Australia.
The group was formed by a group of enthusiastic analogue photographers. Its purpose
is to encourage and promote the continued use, unique features and appreciation of
traditional photographic techniques and equipment.
The exhibition features the work of the following photographers (all are members of the Melbourne Silver Mine)
Rhys Allen, Roberts Birze, Zaeem Burq, Lucian Chaffey, Dave Chin, Andrew J Cosgriff, Alistair Dickinson, Barbara Fischer, Peter Fritze, Ravnish S Gandhi, Tim Heraud, Nick Hinch, Michael Holbrook, Ross Holmberg, Paul Hocksenar, Bronwen Hyde, Hamish Innes-Brown, Skye Johnson, Timothy Johnson, Matthew Joseph, Michael Le Fevre, Jaye Loring, Giovanni Lovisetto, Iain Maclachlan, Chris Matterson, Jodie Noonan, James Oates, Vinnie Piatek, Ambre Pitt, Karen Riley, Ahmad Sabra, Jesper Sidhu, Cameron J Stephen, Paul Stoney, Ray Strong, Jesse Swallow, Reinis Traidas, Michael Verhoef, Christian Were, Katherine White, Damian Young, Rob Young, Jacqueline van Zetten and Chris Zissiadis.
