Controversial Australian artist Frank Fable brings his latest grimy urban lifescapes to Sydney in a solo show of new works. Using a mix of acrylic, enamel, texta, graphite and resin, Fable draws inspiration from the loneliness that can be felt while being surrounded by millions. He retreated to the bush for two months, where he created the 4.5×3m mural, Deconstruction Of A Lonely City, which was then deconstructed into 25 pieces and brought back to Sydney for display. The exhibition runs at Sydney’s Somedays Gallery from June 25 until July 20.

With the streets of New York already covered in a thin layer of ice after a heavy snowstorm yesterday, it’s interesting to see how other cold winter cities deal with this ubiquitous companion. At the annual Ice and Snow Festival, in Haban, China, they get kinda creative with it: building an entire city out of ice and then lighting it up like an extra frosty, colourful Christmas tree.

I don’t know a lot about The Sugars but I like what they do. Their sound is quite rockabilly but quite modern — like White Stripes. They put out a couple of indie singles and I’d really like to find some time to work with them.

Forget battery powered vehicles. Cars made from ice are the future of transportation: no pollution, no honking horns, no painful rap music blasting out of souped up stereos. And if they melt, they melt. You just swim the rest of the way down the slipstream.
