Alex Anastas & Ryan chat moleskins, creativity, what it’s like to do live artwork at Almost Fridays, donation wars, being an ex-pat New Yorker, living in Sydney, live remixing, making art without a net, and generally get along as well as you would expect, when a bush-fire meets a brush-fire.
Keep an eye on Alex’ instagram to stay a-full-breast of his adventures.
Alex Anastas was born and raised just outside of NYC, but has lived in Sydney off and on since 2006. Dabbling in a bit of everything with art over the years, he mainly makes art based around the concept of synesthesia. Often this manifests itself as literal but gestural real-time sketches in pen while at concerts. If it is a 2 set affair the second set will be more surrealist expressive as to what is being felt from the music. In recent times, Alex has been commissioned to make live art at concerts by the promoters, venues and musicians themselves.
