Meggs – Art / Aerosol / Design

Peat was stoked to see the huge Keith Haring mural in Collingwood, but also inspired by its uncertain future. Basically the building site is for sale and theres confusion as to whether the mural should be restored or left to the elements. In my opinion restore it, Melbourne doesn’t have enough public art of this significance to see it go to waste. Peats tribut and some collaborative work to boot.

Over the last two weeks myself and the Everfresh crew have had the pleasure of kicking it with Peat Wollaeger, stencilmeister from St Louis, USA. Its been a fun couple of weeks and great to get to know such a quality, stand-up guy such as Peat and being a part of the dope Luchador Collab-o-Mask series.

The opening night of the show at Per Square Meter was a blast, with pleanty of sick collab masks, beer and crazy masked wrestlers to boot. Good man, good times. Peace out.
