A Mother’s Milk Mural - Work in Progress!

1st July, 2014, By La Fleur

Not only does 'A Mother's Milk' have coffee that is the bomb diggity here in Unley but they will soon have a new mural running down the side of their fabulous cafe!

CWR and Tarns gave it that cool blue abstract with birds in suits..this time the guys are working with warmer colours to get us through this cold winter and a vintage theme for the owners Stef and Christina who love vintage motor cycles.

Battling with the miserable weather Tarns has been working on this over the last two weeks and it's nearly finished, we will pray to the rain gods to hold off from the heavy downpour for just a few more days...

In the meantime here's a teaser shot of the wall, if you're in the area check this out in person these guys work cannot be fully appreciated unless you have seen it with your very own eyes.

Call us if you want to give your business a makeover too!

WOOLSHED ON HINDLEY (ADELAIDE)

In-house Artist Tarns & CWR

The Woolshed on Hindley street got a lashing this week and have offically been branded with the sting of talented in-house artists Tarns and CWR. Tarns starts inside with the bull on wooden panels with colourful segments then moves on to shape it up outside with bright cowprint shapes scattered across the wall. It seems all to appropriate to add a bull and of course the festival theatre an icon of Adelaide. CWR always comes through with one of his lovely ladies, this one a cow girl who is shaping up very nicely! The official opening of the new beer garden is coming up so keep your eyes and ears open for the dates to check this one in person.

PRISM EXHIBITION

Artist #19 MASIKA TDC

Masika TDC started his love for graffiti after he started breaking in 1982. In 1983 he met another breaker from Gawler who was also was getting up and peiced in the north of Adelaide on the Gawler line. Masika was living in the Riverland at the time (Country SA) and stayed with his new breaker/writer friend for a couple of weeks. During this time he was introduced to a Young but highly influential writer called Xta-c. He showed Masika the ropes, and Masika fell in love straight away and has been painting ever since.

Masika joined the crew 'TDC' in 1989 after moving to Adelaide from Berri. One of Masika's influences for his artwork, to this day, is surrealism and artist Salvador Dali after being told his work looked very surreal in nature from fellow crew member Perish.

Masika started tattooing in 1998 and has just opened a studio in Blackwood, South Australia. Other than tattooing his studio offers different kind of art related services, murals, paintings, illustration and much more.

His greatest influences in graffiti would be Ces fx. Kab TDC. Punch Wca. and Hex from LA.
