This limited edition (1/10) Bob Marley 50x75cm photo was (allegedly) stolen from right under the noses of security guards in the 'Bankwest Tunnel" in Raine Square 18/02/25.
Following on the launch of his "Echoes beyond the NIGHT" book of black and white, rock 'n' roll photo's from the late 70s and early 80s at Gallows Gallery and subsequent guest appearance at Ode to Sirens in Fremantle, Tony Blackwell was invited to feature a dozen large format photos at the Art of Photography Festival at Raine Square, Perth, WA, through February 2025.
Tony was approached by Ode To Sirens, the popular, 12" vinyl music, wine bar in High Street Fremantle, to feature a range of his black and white rock and roll photos over the month of January 2025 - being very much in keeping with the theme of this bar. Ode To Sirens also arranged a book signing evening as part of this event.
