Chill, comfortable and relaxed.

Graffiti is a big one for me. When I was young my brother and I used to walk around our suburb looking at all the pieces by the train lines to get out of the house. He would tell me about all the artists and I’d try to figure out what the tags and pieces said. I was drawn to the attitude of the culture, the kind of anti-establishment stance it took. Graffiti has its own language and to understand it and follow it made me feel like a part of something when I was young and lost.
Jordan Rakei.
Bodriggy Brewery in Abbotsford. My friends built this spot and it’s got it all. Great beer, beautiful food with lots of vegan options and gigs too. Going to be spending lots of time there this summer.
Northcote Plaza. Two Coles in one Plaza - epic.
I live by the Yarra so my favourite place is walking down to the river with a blanket, beers, Barbeque Shapes and my partner Paul.

'You Oughta Know' by Alanis Morissette.
