---------------------------------
Bo·de·ga (n.) : A small shop or store that sells everyday staple items at affordable prices. They are often located in densely-populated, urban neighborhoods and serve as the cornerstone for community gatherings and happenings.
Bodega™ is a curated collection of large scale, eco-friendly, temporary indoor art. The concept is to make the art of emerging and established artists alike, affordable and available to the public. Each piece is delivered as a complete package for the consumer and includes ready-to-apply art piece and tools for installation. Obsessed with process, Bodega creates high quality, layered die-cut vinyl art editions; representing some of the most captivating artists of our generation.
Using eco-friendly inks and vinyl to create layered die-cut, gallery quality vinyl that cab be applied to any flat surface. The vinyl is low-tack and can be removed without damaging the wall; however, is non-collectible as the art work cannot be reapplied to a surface after removal.
A character that is intrinsically designed to the medium to retain the divide between the collection of the artists original art and Bodega™ editions so you can continue to explore your living environment by embracing art in your everyday life.
Our packaging is made from 70-100% post-consumer recycled paper. Our vinyl, with an indoor life expectancy of at least 5 years, is low-impact on the environment through strategic engineering design to maximize energy efficiency and eliminate harmful emissions through recycling and reuse.

Pinched this last image from an interview Jae did with the guys at Wooden Toy (of which he is a contributing illustrator) they do some great stuff.

RAT LOOK
So we have this new guy at work, wasn't long until we started talking about our interests and anything not to do with work. Turns out he is into this cult following called Rat Look. He showed me some photos and gave me a breif run down on the history of this amazing autmotive lifestyle.Anyway I convinced him to give me some words to add to these shrelpin images.
Thanks Adrian "NEW GUY" Knowles
The accepted version of a RAT LOOK is original as possible, low as possible.
This is what attracts me here, to this particular sub culture if you like. I can drag a car out of a paddock and trick it around a little, and people admire it for what it is. Or in the other extreme, I can turn a normal car into something that makes people look twice. I admire the fact that it is different. I think this is what perception is about... Where the term RAT ROD came from is a hotly debated topic, some claim it was coined by a German hot rod magazine and some say it has been around since just after WW2 when returning army men started hot rodding and putting big engines in old fords and dodge’s that were abandoned. The term was then taken on by the Volkswagen community to describe a growing trend in California and England of keeping a Volkswagens paint as original as possible and fully restoring the chassis and massively lowering the suspension and running gear. Since the late 90’s the trend has spread like wild fire and is now one of the most popular sub cultures in the Volkswagen scene and this sub culture is now termed RAT LOOK.
It seems Melbourne the place of most things considered hip has become the Australian Mecca for the RAT LOOK scene in Australia. Even to the point were there is a website forum dedicated to the scene. www.melburgluft.com. Although the scene is alive and well in Brisbane these cars are looked at as rusted heaps by the general public, only a select few know how much time and work go into these cars.

THIS FRIDAY - COURTNEY BRIMS
It's a Long Story.
A solo exhibition of new works by Courtney Brims
Last year saw solo shows at Sydneys' Monster Children Gallery via the Mooks Artspace and then earlier this year in Los Angeles at Black Maria Gallery. Now we are excited to present 'It's a long Story', a solo exhibition of new works by Brisbane's own Courtney Brims.
If your unaware of Courtney's work, here is a bit of an insight.
Courtney Brims is a self-taught, Brisbane-based artist who attended the Queensland University of Technology and graduated in 2005 with a degree in interior design. After working as an interior designer for two years she turned her passion for drawing into a career. With a love for all things unusual, Courtney draws inspiration from her surroundings, dreams, memories, music and Victorian illustrators such as Arthur Rackham and J.M. King.
"I see my pictures as bittersweet, delicate and detailed. They are dreamy and a little dark at times. I like to hope that they fill people with a sense of curiosity and nostalgia."
Opening is from 6pm. Be early. If you cant make it Friday, we are open Saturday 10.30am - 4pm & Sunday 11am - 4pm. Then The following week Tues-Sun 11-4. You have to see these works close up to really appreciate the detail!
