Brilliant! Guerrilla crafters strike again in Pomona (Qld, Australia)
In December, I wrote about stumbling across some guerrilla craft adorning a post in my nearby town of Pomona (Qld, Australia).

More unexpected moments in street art: Craft graffiti in Pomona and Rogue Cosies in Brisbane
I love finding unexpected moments of knitting and crochet on the streets.

Apparently, Andy Warhol said
Apparently, Andy Warhol said, “Being good in business is the most fascinating art”. I love how Warhol refers to business as an art. Business is usually presented as this rational, hard-headed thing – and it rarely is. Being good in business? He’s right. That is an art.
Craig’s other list: Guerrilla graffiti brings humour to the streets
Bizarre notices have been popping up on lampposts around Melbourne. On the surface they seem like legitimate notices you’d see on community noticeboards: items for sale, lost and found, and invitations to join groups with those who have similar interests. But once you start reading them, you realise that something is amiss. The item for [...]
