Via Alley http://www.viaalley.com Via Alley is the result of an admiration for artists/designers who are proud of who they are, passionate about what they do, who are talented and are willing to give it their all to fulfil a dream. We import things we like from other parts of the world, and in most cases, inaccessible in Australia.

Colab recently announced their collaboration with Daniel O’Toole… aka Ears and we’re super excited to present their three amazing specs: The Dorks, The Lazy Blues in Mustard, and The Lazy Blues in Ruby.

Ears, is a Sydney born painter, skater, street artists, musician and regular human… he only discovered his emotive art had value selling scribbles on the back of old cardboard boxes at Newtown station and he hasn’t stopped working since.

Ears is a busy guy, he used to operate Oh Really Gallery, ran a Magazine, is the mastermind behind FreeTheBeats.com and makes music under his own name and others. Unbelievably, he still finds time to exhibit and paint with internationally renowned artists… and collaborate with COLAB.

Ears portraiture is bright and playful while encapsulating the frailty of the inner city human condition.

He now operates Oh Really Gallery, a Magazine, is developing FreeTheBeats.com and still finds time to exhibit and paint with internationally renowned artist… and now with COLAB on three pairs of cool specs.
