About
Mickie Quick is old aussie slang (from the 1920s) for a quick getaway. As in, “Struth, we nearly nabbed him but he did a Mickie Quick on us!”
The term has been revived as a pseudonymn, or ‘nom de guerre’ by a mischevious artist-activist in Australia.
Mickie has been doing “street art” in a wide variety of forms since the early nineties, from liberating billboards to doing all sorts of public pranks, hijacking unused urban space, and running DIY printing presses. For money, he does freelance design, exhibition installation, set-building and prop making. Lately Mickie has been a TV star on Channel Ten’s ‘Guerrilla Gardeners’, being the so-called “mastermind” behind the gang’s disguises to get away with it, aswell as implementing the crazy art ideas in the show.
