.....below is the gallery's write up about the show.

read on if you're intrigued and feeling it. we recommd using the voice of Don LaFontaine for added beneficial effect......

Greedy Hen and Webuyyourkids have been making band posters seperately in Sydney for years now. They find themselves at the same openings, the same parties, the same shows. Their posters are displayed in the same shop windows and on the same poles. They have frequently exhibited in the same group exhibitions.

But now they are jointly taking over China Heights for BLACK MAGIC TRICKS - a collection of works from both duos dealing with electricity, bones, the black magical, the powerful, adventures, jungles, hunting, spirits, fools gold, the death march, the whacked out, the untouchable and the indescribable. What does that mean? Best go to the opening on Friday 6th Feb and find out.

we'll be your shelter

It occurred to us a few days ago as we were sheltering from the pouring rain under a soggy street press magazine, huddled beneath the soft grey pulpy mess of wet inky pages... that there's quite a few little interviews and musings about Greedy Hen out in the world right now.

So if you're keen to get all literary or just enjoy drawing moustaches and male appendages onto our faces...

There's some interviews and articals in the current issues of The Brag, Das Superpaper, and Attitude Magazines.

we also made some artwork for a two page spread in The Pleasures Of The Damned Zine, which looks hell amazing and features pretty much everyone who we love and think is rad! but more about that when it comes out in the world. good work

swinging the axe

To put it simply Kate Mitchell is a bit of a champ, not only does she form one half of Greedy Hen, Voltron style

she also wrestles and does endurance performance Art.

Next wednesday 14th January you'll be able to see her Performance Art Film series called 'Anger Managment' in a show at FirstDraft Gallery

116-118 Chalmers Street, Surry Hills

it's pretty Tom And Jerry cartoon vibes, in one of them she goes totally nuts with an axe. brilliant.

also! in this months Frankie Magazine Katherine was invited to illustrate the month of February for their wall calendar.

Other top notch artist's included in the line up, that we dig, are Beci Orpin and paper cutting wizard Rob Ryan.
