Last Chance Studio member and art buddy from Perth, Australia Sean Morris recently emailed me some of his photos and a link to a really awesome national art tour they took.  They traveled around and launched 3 art exhibitions in 14 days.  Check out the photo diary - http://www.last-chance-studio.com/2010/10/excellent-adventure-tour-diary/

Last Chance Studio is an art gang from Perth, Australia, the most isolated capital city in the world. It’s the sort of town where you kinda have to make cool shit happen for yourself, ’cause it’s probably not gonna come to you. That’s pretty much why Last Chance exists. The east coast hubs of Sydney and Melbourne might traditionally be home to the nation’s most prolific artists, but out west in sleepy Perth this band of brothers have been kicking it pretty hard for about 18 months now. Established by Daek William and Kid Zoom, Last Chance began as an independant studio in a decaying main street shopfront – next to a skydiving business and a gun store – and has grown into a pretty solid collective, made up of about ten mid-20s dudes who share an general interest in painting rad stuff.
