ANTHONY LISTER

This is my favorite Australian Street artist at the moment, he is Brisbane based and is a top 50 Australian artist. I first saw his work on a ABC show (which i cannot not remember the name too for the life of me).
I actually see four Lister works on the way to uni every day

"I can't understand why council would leave tags that are on public property and yet go into private property without the owner's permission, without any contact with the owner and remove something that is clearly not a tag but a work of art."Cr Hinchliffe said.

the latter one is not as it used to be after a run in with the council, but it still very very cool
what i like about his work is the scale, the dirty unfinished quality and the grotesque images.
the skill and control put into a free hand work is too amazing to comprehend and yet he does it.
