Chalk alphabet – update
There’s another chalked up alphabetism under the Boundary and Burton Streets Bridge, behind St Vincent’s Hospital. As our eyewitness Ben notes, it’s the bridge “with the occasional cool cup art” (by Andy Uprock).

So, now we have:
A is for “azimuth”
C is for “cephlapod”
D is for “diatribe”
E is for “entropy”
K is for “kibosh”
M is for “modulate”
N is for “nebulous”
T is for “thought bubble”
Y is for “yesterday”
Z is for “zipper”
It is looking fairly random from this list. Anagram fans, does anything jump out?
Art for your wall, truck or clothes
Artists are trying all sorts of techniques to get by right now. The occupants of a top floor terrace on the corner of Forbes and Burton Streets, Darlinghurst, have paintings in the windows with a sign saying they are for sale.
Then these appeared.

Norman Pentzien, who’s based at 3 Darlinghurst Road, according to this, plastered poles around the neighbourhood this week.
If you need artwork on your wall, truck, clothes, or anywhere, small, big. Call me: 0406075108. Norman, I am experienced with any kind of architecture.
He’s on Facebook, and according to his Myspace page, on the road – Berlin, Goa, Sydney?
Take it home and see if it works: car door
I can’t help but think about cast-offs in the street.

This car door was sitting on Burton Street (near Thomson) in Darlinghurst yesterday. Leaned up against an old pigeon-hole cabinet with an old blanket swung over the top, it was a snapshot of some other place. A bit of country NSW in town, maybe.
Torn from a car by a thief, remnant of a back-room mechanic’s operation gone wrong? Replaced? So many questions.
Walking on the block
Okay, so my co-blogger saw this and passed, thinking we’d played out on stencils.
She may have a point. But it’s good.

Just people walking on the block. Checking out a Lily Allen tour poster. Heading over to Messina for a gelato.

This is on the corner of Burton and Victoria Streets in Darlinghurst.
Update: spotted a much more produced sticker version of this on a pole outside the Darlo Bar. It’s Mini Graff, which I should have realised.
Healthy art
Woman’s Day circa ’99/last year’s Harpers are fine for most surgeries, but East Sydney Doctors, across the road from the National Art School on Burton Street in Darlinghurst, takes a different approach.


The current show’s by Emerald Fitzgerald and Andy Hopkins. Adam Cullen and Cash Brown have shown here, too, among others.
They blog too.
Take it home and see if it works: Hoover
Walking about the neighbourhood we often spot peoples’ cast-offs. Inevitably, one of us will ask: “Should we take it home and see if works?”

I saw this old Hoover vacuum cleaner today on Burton Street, up near the art school. I really wanted to try it out.
