Melbourne Street Art – Best of May 2017.

The selection below was some of the best street art I found in May 2017 . A mixture of spray painting, pasteups and stencils. Most were gone (over-sprayed) in the following days. The photos were mostly taken in Hosier & Rutledge Lanes and several other laneways (including a railway bridge underpass) around Melbourne CBD  – all images taken with an iPhone 6S.

Melbourne Street Art – Best of January 2017 Pt2

The selection below was some of the best I found in January 2017 (Part 1). A mixture of spray painting, pasteups and stencils. Most were gone (over-sprayed) in the following days. The photos were mostly taken in Hosier & Rutledge Lanes and a few other laneways around Melbourne CBD (ACDC Lane, Duckboard Place, Union Lane) – all images taken with an iPhone 6S and uploaded as taken, i.e. no editing. (An interesting way to try and improve general photography skills)

Melbourne Street Art – Best of January 2017 Pt1

I like to wander the laneways and alleys of Melbourne looking for the latest in street art. This selection was some of the best I found in January 2017. A mixture of spray painting, pasteups and stencils. Most were gone (over-sprayed) in the following days. The artworks below were mostly taken in Hosier & Rutledge Lanes and a few other laneways around Melbourne CBD (ACDC Lane, Duckboard Place, Union Lane) – all images taken with an iPhone 6S and uploaded as taken, i.e. no editing.

Wrdsmth visits Melbourne

Wrdsmth is a LA based street artist with an interesting poetic style. Like Banksy he prefers to remain anonymous – though photos indicate that he is male. He visited Melbourne for the first time last year and after being impressed by the local street scene decided to leave his own mark, a series of clever and insightful words of wisdom pasted up and stencilled around the CBD, Fitzroy and St Kilda. I kept seeing them around town and thought I would photograph a few before they all disappeared.

Melbourne Laneways: ACDC Lane May updates

After  a few weeks break I found that whole laneways had been resprayed. I quickly explored and photographed as many as I could before the work was over-sprayed or tagged. Some of the best was found in ACDC Lane off Flinders Lane.

Tree Man of AC/DC Lane

Over a few days I watched a new mural being created in AC DC Lane. Multi-story high man with a large tree branch. There has been a lot of construction work within the area of ACDC Lane and Duckboard Place. It makes a nice change to have something new and interesting to look at rather than construction vehicles and piles of excavation mess.

The Colour and the Pig

Recent Street Art from Hosier and ACDC Lanes. Some impressive colourful art this time around as well as an interesting monochrome piece. The large pig is from ACDC lane and I am not sure whether it is a protest piece as it is opposite a popular Sth American restaurant that serves a lot of meat dishes. I am curious whether anyone will think that it is a protest piece. However I like both the anatomical pig art and the restaurant.

I noticed something interesting with the image below, it is a very similar image to one I photographed a few weeks earlier but it has been repainted and moved across about 2 meters and incorporated into another piece. See this link for the older picture.

Duckboard Place: Food, Art, Music…

Part 2 of the ACDC Lane loop brings us to Duckboard Place – the Laneway that takes us back around to Flinders Lane. It has some very good restaurants, an after hours pop-up bar, residential accesses and great wall art.

ACDC Lane: Art and Music

Near Hosier Lane is another Laneway, ACDC Lane, named in honour of the rock band AC/DC . The Lane circles back to Flinders Lane via Duckboard Place. Many of the walls have large colourful pieces. Along with the great art are several good restaurants and a famous Bar and live music venue – Cherry.
