Blood Sugar

Fresh starts all round today, the clean slate of Spring is upon us. What better way to get into the swing of things than with some fresh ink and a little history lesson from the good folk at Inkship. Some other good folk who don’t seem adverse to the idea of a tattoo or two have just set up a rather fine looking diner in inner-Sydney so we popped on down to check it out.

Illustrator Chris Hopkins takes us though the very best in afternoon TV while Georgie Thomas goes beyond the thunderdome in the name of fashion and artist Rob McLeish discusses his penchant for Julie Andrews. Photographer Jackson Eaton is flying the flag for all the single ladies, and men for that matter in his latest exhibition while fellow camera wielder Josh Robenstone pinpoints the exact moment that photography hooked him.

On a musical note, Naked On The Vague have a film due for release and New Zealand’s Surf City are coming to visit so we catch up with them and Sydney’s Papa Vs Pretty who also happen to be a band.

Kudos Indeed
