Street Art Sirum is the antidote for Venom Andrew Bourke (aka Sirumvsvenom or Sirum1) is not only an artist with exceptional talent, but a genuinely nice guy who’s personable and well respected – always with a ready smile and up for a chat.

A semi-rural upbringing and a passionate interest in nature is evidenced in Andrew’s work. Many of his pieces depict reptiles (especially snakes), Australian birds and wildlife. He prefers to work solo and considers that he does his best work in doing so. “I’m currently experimenting with mixed media on canvas. Building up texture and playing around with new approaches. Sometimes the strokes are fast and loose and, depending on application, it’s a technique that I can also apply to the streets. Sometimes the themes are abstract or organic and often based on my photographs,” he said. He was a participant in Wall to Wall street art festival in Benalla in 2015 and 2016 and his pieces have featured the region’s local hero, Ned Kelly.

CBD Local Hat-tip to Mr Antippa By Khiara Elliott

With over 55 years of practice, Melbourne solicitor Gregory Antippa still loves what he does and doesn’t plan to stop any time soon, even at 85 years old.

Mr Antippa has degrees in law and arts from the University of Melbourne, as well as a diploma in American Law which he earned in Chicago. He is also the seventh Greek lawyer to ever be admitted to practice law in Victoria. He has recently become semi-retired, handing the reigns over to son Peter who now runs the CBD practice. Although he has shortened his working week to spend more time at his property at Phillip Island, Mr Antippa still cherishes the time he spends working out of his Collins St practice. CBD News met with Mr Antippa at his offi ce that overlooks the picturesque Gordon Reserve and Parliament House to have a chat about his experience over so many years of practice. After being admitted to practice law in 1961, Mr Antippa started his career working closely with migrants due to his ability to speak multiple languages. “When I started, most of my clients were mainly Greek migrants and Arabic-speaking migrants,” he said.
