It's the opening weekend for Artist Open Studios, and the brand new Photo News Studio is open. Drop in for a $5 coffee, enjoy some tunes, paint some walls.

Photo News Studio is now open for the duration of Artist Open Studios. Technically it has nothing to do with Artist Open Studios, but it's a studio, I'm an artist, and it's open.

Photo News Studio is located at 504 Heads Road, Castlecliff.

Pop in for a $5 bottomless filter coffee & bring an instrument if you're keen to jam...


Look for the alleyway full of artwork & graffiti

Entranceway out back (gate is closed to keep dog alive)

Friendly dogs welcome, plenty of space to run around, kids also welcome but the music might get loud if people start jamming, so bring earmuffs/earplugs.

The alley way is also an open studio.

So bring some paint and make some cave paintings.

I'm playing a Cheap Flights to Bali set for the "official" opening of Photo News next Saturday 21st March.

Drop in any day this week to get tickets, $15 preorder or $20 on the door (tickets are limited though so best to preorder). More details coming later in the week.

Photo News is open every day for the duration of Artist Open Studios, 12pm till dark. Today will be open from 1pm cos I spent all morning putting this post together and still need to walk the dog and finish cleaning.
