Thanks to MoshPit and Eva for putting on the yearly festival at Moshpit, and all the performers who entertained us. Here are drawings of some of the acts, in no particular order
The price is eternal vigilance. Liberty in Danger. Some find it in danger, some see liberty in danger right now. We demand liberty, where our desires are our own, not the manufacture of some marketing or political brainwasher. We examine some of the threats - the way that words like freedom and democracy are used to name their enemies! And we aim to enjoy our liberty and have some fun.

I went to Poetry Sydney last night at Since I Left You on Kent St in the city. I was late and missed the main event, the launch of Kaye Mahoney's Future Movement book project though I'm preparing an artwork for it (I think).
From the hat I drew the line "Record Temperatures in Death Valley" to riff on, something that entwines the ideas of climate change and fake news, given the temperature Championship of the world all time record (56.7C at Death valley on july 10 1913) is such a weird outlier. It was the US declaring they had the biggest everything, and the highest temperature too! Anyway I'm making an artwork on the theme
I went to the Chippo Hotel on Abercrombie St on tuesday (15-7-2025) to draw the show at Loose Leaf Literature. It was an entertaining night of music, spoken word and comedy with Victoria Nelson, E. S. Toose and Tavis Harrod.
I went to the Alpha gallery last weekend where Fabels played on the last evening of Hiske's exhibition Vingt/Vingt 20/20
A bit of scribble of Scattered Order, who played a set before them, but I was a bit late pulling out my drawing pad
Yesterday I went along to the Gasoline Pony and saw Majestic XI, Silver Foxes and Ned Alphabet
Ned Alphabet
I went and saw Paul Hayward and the Sidekicks yesterday at Gasoline Pony
5olo5 is 5 soloists performing a 12 minute piece then joining in an improv ensemble to complete the show. The brainchild of Trevor Brown, it's on in the Uniting Church on Oxford St Paddington one friday each month. I went along on Friday the 23rd and did some drawings of the performers - Hayley Chan, Gary Daley, Ellen Kirkwood, Freya Shack-Arnott, and Trevor Brown.
Thanks to you all for a really enjoyable show,
I went down to Moshpit's 8th birthday yesterday and drew sketches of some of the bands. None of them are quite complete. Happy Birthday Moshpit!
Buddhadatta are a Japanese punk band who just toured Australia, this is based on a drawing I did at their show at Moshpit
This painting is based on a drawing I did at Moshpit a month or 2 ago, though it's mutated a bit as I looked at some photos from the night.
WhatEva are a great punk band gigging around Sydney
