Everfresh Interview – Everfresh: Blackbook

Jim Steps

His notorious paste-ups have been spread far and wide across high traffic areas of inner city Melbourne, often dominating the environment with their crude graphic approach. The monotone, larger than life female faces bare down upon passers-by. We catch up with street artist Rone of the Everfresh Studios, as they prepare to gear up for the launch of the highly anticipated Everfresh: Blackbook. Dropping in September, The Everfresh: Blackbook provides a pictorial insight into the life of the iconic Melbourne studio, spanning from 2004-2010.
