    Graffiti Walk with Davey

     

    I’m Davey mac, also know as Teazer, and I’m one of Sydney’s prolific graffiti/mural artists.

     

     

     

    Join me for an hour walk around Glebe, a neighborhood I have strong affinity with, and have seen grow and change in front of my own image heavy gaze. I will take you around some of my most successful works in the area where you’ll get a chance to find out what ‘success’ even means to a graff artist. Find out what motivates me in my passion for the work, and see for yourself an ordinary man, wearing normal clothes, who actually had the courage to follow his dream.

    …see link on more information on this exciting experience.

     

     

     

    1 hour 3-11 people @ $11.50 per person a real treat!

    Soke Pick Swis had heaps going on.

    there is an old(ish) Pick Tag just near Sydenham station on the electrical boxes in the park next to the lines.

    I assume it's the same one....maybe not

    apologies for the quality, taken from a train. This is all I have of said writers unfortunately. I think that SideFX Pick fence was on the first roll of film I ever developed upon getting into graff..Was mad hyped on that Side FX

    I 'spose it doesn't really matter. it's hard when so much time has passed. And Sydney hasn't done a very good job of documenting it's history. There are plenty of photos of the wall and panel pieces from the early days onwards, but there's not much documentation of the guys that flogged the system hard with only tags and throwups, so those names get picked up over and over again when enough time has passed. And if the new user doesn't go on to do pieces that will be published online or in hardcopy (to forever be re-hashed) they too fade away for another generation to pick them up when enough time has passed.

     

    But I 'spose this is changing though, these days people post a lot of the street and train damage online so the above might not apply moving forward (if new writers do their research). These days a writer can flog it hard and never do a piece and they'll still end up being immortalised online, but for non-piecing bombers from the '80s through to the late '90s, they have to live with young guys taking on their name. Thing is, a lot of them probably don't care, they're busy with their families now. It's probably only pedantic old pricks like me that rant on about this stuff haha. SOKE would probably find this discussion amusing and he'd just be glad that someone remembered him.

     

     

    I do recall seeing Soke and Cover pieces on the mentioned factories at Tempe. hopefully somebody has some photos that they can share. It's nice to know there was a time where every writer known or unknown was out doing their thing, before Instagram and all that shit.
