Australian Export in full effect - Melbourne’s finest  AEON flys by to drop some knowledge…

1. Tell us who you are – what you do and how long you’ve been doing it ?

Aeon. Writer. Started scribbling on things when I was about 10. But I’ve been piecing since 1996.

2. Favourite 3 colors?

Black – Orange – White. They seem to always work. It doesn’t matter which way you use them.

3. Favourite 5 pieces of all time and why – (please include links)

That’s a bit of a tough one because my taste changes all the time.
I can’t think of what are my all time favourite’s but these are some pieces that I like.

Pretty much anything by Roid. The guy is 5 steps ahead of the pack. I’ve been a big fan for a long time.

I really like this Take2 piece. I know it’s just a quick one for him, but there is a lot I like about it. The colours and style are spot on.

This Crime Time piece by Bando. It’s such a classic style. No bells and whistles or fancy colours. Straight up style

Anything by Binge/Death. He is a Melbourne writer who killed it through the 90’s. His style was always so left of field. Most of the stuff he did over 10 years ago is still so refreshing to look at today. This isn’t the best piece by him but it’s one of the only one’s I’ve got at the moment. It’s from 2000. He’s also making a bit of a comeback at the moment which is making a lot of people in Melbourne happy.

There was this really old Duet piece done in Ascot Vale in the early 90’s. I can’t find a photo of it but here is one of his newer Doens pieces.

4. Favourite city and why ?

It would have to be Melbourne. It’s home and it’s the city I know best. But it also has good graffiti and lots of it. Lots of good food, lots of places to drink, good weather and it’s pretty easy to paint compared to a lot of other cities I’ve been to. It’s the good life.

5. Favourite food / drink /?

I eat pretty much anything but my favorite drink is Beer. I’ve been known to put away a fair bit of Cascade Pale Ale.

6. Biggest vice ?

7. Biggest Gripe ?
