Tom O'hern

Introducing Tom O'hern - Artist, extraordinaire. Tom O'hern is known for his use of ink on paper. I posted about him on the WE ARE HANDSOME BLOG just after we got back from our road trip, but don't know if all my readers look at their blog, so I thought I would post it on here.

Tom Ohern's work is amazing. His fine detailing and intricate line work make his work so captivating. His line work is intense - it must take him hours to complete a single piece!

I want to purchase 6 pieces of his work and display them in a horizontal line - as that was how they were displayed around The Rocks in Sydney and it looked incredible.

If you’re in Sydney go and check out the Primavera exhibition – it runs until the 13th of November

You have no idea how long I have been looking for a vintage leather jacket in this colour, my size and the right cut. Every time I find one it's either 1,000 times too big or the cut is horrible. I dislike "bomber" leather jackets and most of the ones I have found over the past couple of years are borderline bomber. I was so, so , so happy when I stumbled across this jacket in the small town of Batemans Bay on the way back to Sydney...and it was only $10! For those of you who don't op shop or vintage shop, 100% leather vintage jackets can end up costing as much as the ones in the shops at the moment - if not more. What I love about this jacket is It's already soft and worn in, and it still has that leather smell to it ( PETA please don't kill me).

You can probably see I spent a lot of my time away in jeans. I packed dresses and shorts and only two pairs of jeans/pants. I thought I'd definitely get a chance to wear my shorts and dresses - but Sydney and the South Coast had different ideas for me. It was pretty damn cold compared to Queensland...So I was stuck wearing jean most of the time! The day I finally got to wear a dress was the day before we drove home when I was in Terrigal, seeing my sister, and I forgot to get photos! Oh well.

Happy Thursday!

Pitt street

Some street art in Sydney. I think it was done over night, as the council worker was cleaning it off when we were there. I have no idea how the artists did it - it was really, really high and it was on one of the busiest streets in the city. The council obviously didn't appreciate it as much as we or the other people walking by did.

UPDATE: The artist suspected of doing this is Barry McGee! A legend in the street art world! I am so happy to have witnessed his work!
