LP’s Quality Meats. Tucked away in a little laneway in Chippendale.

Inviting!

Surprisingly huge on the inside, and Queens of the Stone Age blaring on the stereo.

15 Hour BBQ Beef Short Rib! Kale, and Mash!

Next stop, the new Ambush Gallery launch night at Central Plaza.

Massive mural finished, could still smell the paint!

Launching with a bang! Celebrating 30 years of Mambo!

Lots of memoriescame flooding back for me. I’ve owned a lot of Mambo gear in my past.

Car Art.

Great art on show but I loved the floor the most!

Nanami.

Group shot of a few of the artists who had work on in the show.

Peace!

Spotted… Jirat!

Another Jirat piece downstairs.

I’ve really become a sweet tooth over the past few years. Gelato from Anita Gelato on the way home (watermelon and mint, so good!).

First stop; Bourke St Bakery to introduce Cacia to Sausage Rolls!

Cacia x Cacti.

Next stop, the amazing Brett Whiteley Studio. SUPER inspiring, had us both wanting to paint so bad.

Kurtosh! They make these coiled pastry things to order! 10 minutes and our nutella one was done, so yummy!

Next stop, White Rabbit Gallery.

A huge upside down lit cigarette.

A cityscape on closer inspection. So cool.

The gallery is so dedicated, they cut a circular hole in their roof to fit this piece.

Dan/Faz from kind of gallery has an awesome new Skate shop at Central Park.

VHS! Old Skool Cool!

Ambush Gallery are taking over the top floor of Central Park, such awesome news. The Mambo retrospective should be awesome. The floor alone is killer!

First stop, Pier 8 Cafe at Millers Point for lunch.

Such a beautiful space on the inside.

Bang on lunch time!

Despite how awesome the decor was inside, it was sunny outside so Krysti and I decided to sit in the sun.

Spanakopita! Delicious and light Greek spinach and Persian feta pie.

Also delicious, Risotto with white wine, chicken, sweet peas, asparagus and regianno.

Snipered! After lunch we headed off the the Art Gallery of NSW to check out some Pop Art!

This would sit right at home at Deus Cafe.

OMFG a Barbara Kruger! Such an awesome surprise.

The Real Deal.

Haha! Krysti.

Warhol Twister anyone?!

Haha! Krysti!

Did anyone ever play a game called Riven? So reminds me of that game.

One of my faves. It’s got that Byron Bay hippy vibe, but it’s massive, a trunk that’s been shaped to be a whale breaching. So nicely done.

Loved this little guy too.

And this as well, awesome.

Funny weather was funny. Hot, windy, cold, then crazy hot again.

We had a bite to eat (so healthy and delish!) at Gertrude & Alice Cafe Bookstore on Hall St.

Got a call from young Krysti this morning, who had the day off and wanted to go for a swim. By the time she got to my place the weather got all funny, grey and windy so we thought we’d check out Sculptures by the Sea. I hadn’t seen it for a few years running, she’d not seen it since Grade 10, or something?!

We both thought, being a Monday and all, that it would be super quiet… but fuck, nope! No one in Sydney works I swear! Damn packed as!!!!! Grrrr.

Fek, too dark!

This piece would look right at home in a 6 star hotel.

Made entirely of bottle caps and zip ties!

Spotted: One clean 260, in Bondi Beach of all places!

Rear bar was so fresh!

Prosciutto San Daniele, Buffalo Mozzarella.

REGINELLA – Fior di Latte, San Marzano Tomato, Fresh Basil.

Porchetta!

Messina! Thanks to Cordy, I went for the Italian Nougat and Dulce De Leche (which was super delish!).

David and Cordy were in my hood tonight (they live in the northern beaches), they had intended to check out Sculpture by the Sea (which I love, but have missed for a few years in a row now), but the sun was setting fast.

By the time we got there the sun had set. We checked out a few pieces at the very start, but decided to call it quits due to the lack of light. The call was made to have dinner instead! We hit Da Orazio Pizza + Porchetta and feasted up, saving a bit of room for Messina (of-course!).

Caught up with Nana-Chan today. She’s finished a piece she started a while back so I got to have a good look at it.

As always, you’ve really got to check out her work in real life. The amount of details she manages to capture always surprises me.

This time around she’s used 3D ink for the string in this piece, again, just has to be seen in real life.

We then ducked out for a bite at Australian 18 Footers. her Dad’s old Yacht Club in Double Bay. Such a beautiful day for fish and chips!

Nana, Paul was with us too.

Calamari.

I ordered Fish & Chips! Yew!

Soon after I took this pic a charter fishing boat anchored up and a big group of drunken yobbos all walked off the boat with huge King Fish. All I could think about was SASHIMI!!!!!!!!!
