There is no denying that Melbourne’s LUSH is getting up around town like no other. The media can not get enough of him and his political and celebrity meme driven work on the streets with Seinfeld taking a photo at his portrait in Fitzroy just the other day. He was even foolishly mistaken for Banksy in media reports across the globe with some recent works he painted in Bethlehem by… Funny.
Lush does those fat cats? I never knew. I’ve gotten pix of lots of his stuff — the multiple paintings tucked into that industrial estate off Kensington Road on the way to Footscray are the most concentrated I’ve found — but aside from the Neil DeGrasse Tyson in Northcote and the anime-hugging-Kim, I’ve never squzzed any of these. I’ll have to look harder.
