Return of the lanky duo

with one comment

There’s a new Jumbo and Zap paste-up pop piece in the driveway of a warehouse on Kippax Street, Surry Hills.

The lanky pair had a big spate of work around inner Sydney several months ago. But they’ve been relatively quiet since. Probably because they’ve had work in a few gallery shows, including Go Font Urself, and Melinda Vassallo’s book, Street Art of Sydney’s Inner West.

Just around the corner from Central railway station, the little alcove’s rich in paste-ups, though fading.

In that mostly non-descript part of Surry Hills, filled with cut-price rag-trade outlets and offices, it’s hard to imagine anyone finding fault with Jumbo and Zap’s bright bit of experimental typography – least of all the people living in the warehouse upstairs.
