March 2 - Ghostpatrol and Miso

Ghostpatrol and Miso are two emerging young artists in Melbourne. They are street artists as well as professional artists. Their street art mostly takes the form of paper cut paste-ups that they put up overnight.

Their work is original, beautifully-executed drawings that they produce as collaborative works. They've produced 2 books of their work.












This is one of Miso's pasteups.





I love their work and I find it interesting that one of the comments made on the Artscape programme about them was their uniqueness in producing actual pencil drawings, rather than computer-based work. I guess that's where art is heading right now and it's a good thing that there are artists out there who still pick up and use a pencil.



In and exhibition that featured on the Artscape programme there was a close look at pieces that Ghostpatrol has done. They are drawings that he's done using pencils glued together as a drawing surface.

Wow - this Ghostpatrol thing keeps popping up in my life this past few weeks!
You're the third one to identify them. I hadn't heard of them before, and their work is beautiful

I just love that they've worked out a way to comfortably co-create and that by doing that which they love to do they've created a thriving business for themselves.

I also like it that they've continued on as street artists as well, and plan to do that at the same time.
