‘Love is all you need' by Tai Snait
Many people have said it: "Why is there no tram from Brunswick to Fitzroy, maybe with a super stop at Carlton?" (Mental note: whoever setup that shuttle bus service would be sitting on a fortune, especially if they had a mini-bar and Gold 104.)
Meanwhile, reasons to stay in Brunswick multiply by the day. Brunswick Bound is giving Brunswick Street Books a run for their pineapples with a recently-launched art space. Curated by Arlene TextaQueen, it's a sunlit gallery above the shop featuring regular shows by local artists - each one launched with a tea party (yes, there are scones).
The show opening this Saturday is called "Sketchbooks". More than twelve artists have been invited to submit their doodle-filled Spiraxes and some of the artworks that have sprung from them. These include a range of self-publishers, comic makers and illustrators like Marc de Jong, Keg de Souza, Michael p Fikaris, Pets, Maara Serwylo, Itch, Tai Snaith, Paul Kalemba, TextaQueen herself, Hasselhoof, Lachlan Conn, and Michael Hawkins.
If you do not live in Brunswick, you will need to get the tram from Elizabeth Street but get used to it because Brunswick is the new Brunswick Street. (And Fitzroy is the new Fitzroy Street, and Smith Street is the same, but with better coffee in some cases).
