An exclusive look at stencil artist
(and amazing fabric/toy artist) Red Rabbit

No fancy spray adhesives here pal, just feet and fingers.

Love the grey bunny ominously rising over the trees.

Mr D gets busy on the trees

Martin Poppelwell

Thanks Martin.

LAW AND DISORDER

Check out this interview with Prof Rick Wolff on Law and Disorder radio on the subject of Class War and also a really simple explanation of Marxist economics.
This is well worth just a few minutes of your time.
The two later interviews are also very good but not quite as relevant if you are listening from
New Zealand.

Introduction to New Zealand Art Sponsored by PRAC in 2006

One from the Archives of PRAC

These are some images of a show by Artist Adrian Thornton that was sponsored by PRAC in 2006, entitled 'An introduction to New Zealand Art'
All the art works were stencil cut spray paints of famous New Zealand art works.

In Solidarity of MAY DAY Workers Rights!!

In Solidarity of MAY DAY !
Here are some PARC sponsored political propaganda posters.
These were plastered all over Hastings during the weekend, good street work from our activist comrades. The cut and paste Lions were a nice touch, keeping people informed while making the city more beautiful, two great services to the community at once.

I see that the posters and Lion cut and pastes put outside the Opera house cafe were quickly taken down by them, pretty sad effort on their part I think.

This poster below is outside the Craig Foss National offices, he he he!

Sound track for this action (so I am told);
New york contempary 5, live at jazzhus montmartre 1963 (it's a goodie)

Rugby and Art

Rugby & Art
Here you see art and rugby mixing seamlessly, probably for the first time ever.

In the photo below Fanes 'Yellow Tiki' hangs on a fence, over looking a local game in Camberly.
The mainly Mongrel Mob supporters you can see in the back ground are in for a real treat, after the game as they make their way back to their cars, they will come across this free art from PRAC's Freedom Art Project , who knows whose house these will end up in?

My favorite bus stop in Camberly, back again puttin out the Art.
Below you can see the Freedom Art/Propaganda bike kit.
This includes;
Coat hangers
drawing pins
string
glue paste and brush
t shirts
Art work
Propaganda posters
MP3 with motivational music


Sound track to this action;
die like a dog - Peter Brötzmann, Toshinori Kondo, William Parker, Hamid Drake

Its a hard core listen, but then Camberly is pretty hard core to.

Flaxmere gets Freedom arts

FREEDOM ARTS IN FLAXMERE
Here is some of Fanes Art being released into the community as part of the PRAC
Freedom Arts Project.

Flaxmere Park.

Some bus stop.



This is hanging on the fence of Flaxmere College, pretty serious fence for a school.

Sound track for this action; Uncle Wiggly, There was a Elk.

CAFE RACER STENCIL

Nice Cafe Racer style stencil spotted in town the other day

Climb like the Cannibal

Climb Like The Cannibal (Eddie Merckx)
Here is a new stencil I spotted while out on a ride in the country the other day.
Nicely placed in the middle of a good climb, just at the right time to inspire the rider who sees it to effortlessly, and with loads of style, glide gracefully up to the summit.

Well that's the idea (so I am told).

Merckx, nick named 'The Cannibal' because he won everything he wanted to in his time.
Stencil looks pretty good here, even sprayed on the rough road surface.

FREEDOM ARTS ON THE STREET; CAMBERLY

Free Art

Here is some of Fane Flaws Art being given it's freedom, back into into the community, through the Peoples Revolutionary Arts Councils Freedom Arts Project

I came riding back past about 10 minutes after this one was put out, and saw a bunch of kids looking real excited about their find.
Looks like this piece found a new happy home.

Fane's art connecting directly with people in the hood.
When I was hanging this t shirt out, a couple of kids asked what the hell I was doing, when I told them, one said "I know what this is, it's a waste of money", I said he was probably right, but would he like to take this shirt home for his Dad or brother, he said that would be cool, so he did, and that my friends was cool.

Sound track for this action; Stevie Wonder, Innervisions.

FREE ART FOR THE PEOPLE!

FREE VOINA; RUSSIAN ACTION ART GRUOP

Check out these guys, some serious action art from the
sleeping Bear, Russia.

 

This piece is called;Dick captured by KGB, as you see it is painted on a draw bridge, must have been really funny watching the bridge go up the first time.

Coppi in the country side.

I was out on a training ride with a couple of pals today when we came across this cool stencil of Fausto Coppi on a bridge about twenty km's out in the country on a little concrete bridge.
Looks to me like someone is putting a couple of tasteful little stencils about, maybe to inspire the roadies out on training rides, what a great idea!Spotted this one in town.

Free the fish

A cool little action
I found out about this really cool bit of local direct action over the weekend. This young comrade decided to release some little mosquito fish into a city water feature. First he tried a couple out to see if they would survive ok, and when he found that they did,
he proceeded to release a whole heap into the pond.
He tells me he is going to stop by on the way home from school to feed them.

This is the pond, usually a boring town feature with no life or purpose, now the home of a happy bunch of little fish.

Like some sort of god, this action man has brought life to a desolate world, in the photo above you can just make out the little guys in their new home.

It's brilliant and funny.

John Key telling it like it is

Straight from the horses mouth(or is that ass)

Good to see someone taking a little direct action in Hastings.

I just like this one, and I guess an annoying fly reminds me of
John Key.
