It genuinely surprises me why The Legion doesn’t host more music nights. It’s probably my favourite “local” venue I have been to so far, with its dim lighting, abstract furniture and overall paragon of cool. It is genuinely made for alternative music, and the…

For Stanislava Pinchuk (@m_i_s_o_), an artist in Melbourne, the delicate tattoos she draws for friends are creative exchanges. Their stories inspire her work, and in place of payment, her friends give her things they’ve made, whether art, furniture, jewelry or even dinner.
“I see it as artwork my friends carry with them,” she says. “It’s very intimate, and charging for it seemed strange, so I’ve traded since day one.”
Stanislava tells the story of each tattoo and trade on Instagram: twin wildflowers traded for whiskey, a map of a family traded for a drawing, a galaxy traded for a photograph. Alongside these stories, she shares pictures of her work and studio with the creative community she’s built. “The collaborators and contacts I’ve made from Instagram are incredible,” she says. “I’ve been in touch with so many people I look up to because of it.”

4:43// Hi Sam, so all I want for my birthday this year is the above item or to see you. So, yeah. I really am capable of just meeting for coffee. I am still uncertain as to the person you thought I was in the end, sending random texts asking if I was —- oh wait, did you send such texts in anticipation of me writing… Ugh, I love you Samuel, for so many reasons, one of which is the elaborateness and intensity of both your work and play. Your presentation in London was so brilliant, compressing so many strands within one paper, in a way I had not heard from other speakers — and I was there every day, taking notes. I do love you, but you alone were not the reason I went. In a way hard to articulate in words, I believe we are similar in the way we construct our visions of the world. I understand the difficulty of editing too, my one true love. Eye still love you, to end with a ridiculous pun. Never force a smile, but do not forget to smile. You are brilliant. I love you Samuel.
