What:Anyone who saw the amazing milk crate man perched near Richmond station will be familiar with the Wooster Collective.
Wooster celebrates ephemeral street art from around the globe, and they’ve recently released the product of their first foray into the comic world, Wooster Comix.
Some time last year, Wooster asked their favourite artists to create a set of narratives based on the characters and street iconography of their work.
Featuring over 35 artists, Wooster Comix will set you back about 20 clams. And, given that this was a first for many of the artists involved, some of whom had never adapted their work to a story line, Wooster Comix is the quirky result of much creative blood, sweat and tears.
Cheaper than a night out, and maybe a little safer than wandering the art-spangled back alleys solo, enjoy the tales of street-art-folk from the comfort of your Jason recliner.
