Before there were computers, people did EVERYTHING by hand. This might seem unbelievable to those of us that now consider our computers lifelines, but it’s true. Although the creative process was slower back in the day, the final results were still as impressive as a glossy A4 print.
In his exhibition, Everything, Matt Hinkley turns his back on the digital to focus on the hand crafted. His graphic colour confetti drawings are in a style readily churned out by a Mac, but on closer inspection reveal themselves as composed using the raw tools of pencil on paper.
Highlighting his growing concerns of the homogenisation of graphic art and the digital, Hinkley proves that a 72 pack of Derwents can still hold its own against the Adobe army. |

They’ve released four 7-inches, five CDs and two LPs, 16 tours, travelled the world, done a soundtrack for a puppet show… performed on street corners, in art galleries, people's bedrooms, bathrooms, showy ballrooms, under freeways, on boats… so on and so on… Japanther are possibly NY’s most inspiring DIY punk rock group.
They run their own record label (Tapes Records), promote their own shows, fund their own tours. They also run their own lives and they do it well.
Sounding like a car crash gone to a disco… it’s fast, chaotic, fun, danceable, political punk rock at it’s best.
We’re glad to say (and not bashful to self promote) that Japanther will be releasing their newly recorded album in Australia with exclusive bonus tracks on Exo Records in March to go along with a March tour to our lovely dry shores… So if you missed them the last time, you can get them then…

Ok, so we all know that horror movies are cool, have always been cool and will remain cool till the end of time... Why? We don't know, but it's true... end of story.
What makes Dario's movies stand out? Maybe it's the crazy and innovative ways he thinks of killing and torturing people, maybe it's that in most of his movies you could take a photograph of any scene at any time and it would possibly be the best photograph ever taken, or maybe it's the fact that he’s Alice Cooper’s favorite director, and how good is Alice Cooper (Answer : TOO GOOD!). But most likely it’s because every (good or bad) horror movie director, ever, has sighted Dario Argento as a main influence in their work and that means without him, we possibly would never have horror movies as cool as they are, and what a crap world that would be. Oh yeah and we probably would have never heard the band Goblin.
Best films : All of them (except The Card Player, that one was a bit of a mistake unfortunately).

ThreeThousand is a weekly snapshot of Melbourne's subculture, fired by email into the loving arms of people who realise that the best things in life are often hard to find. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of writers, stylists, designers, photographers, sub-cultural attaches and a large troupe of monkeys who enjoy working for peanuts.
Without editorial independence ThreeThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it – not because it's paid for.
Advertising Partnerships:
ThreeThousand is funded in full by one advertising partner per issue. We warmly invite advertisers who see the benefit in speaking to Melbourne through a trusted and targeted medium to contact Francesco at frunch@rightanglepublishing.com
Editorial Submissions:
The editorial team at ThreeThousand may know a lot - but they don't know everything. Feel free to send information on events, venues or anything else to chris@threethousand.com.au
Feedback:
Heap praise, sling abuse, ramble inanely – if you have anything to say to us please send it directly to talk@threethousand.com.au
