hanging out on grey walls

Posted on February 6, 2016 by Mary C

The following pieces of graffiti and street art were found in a lane that more an entranceway to an apartment complex parking garage than an alley. I forgot to make note of where it was, except that it is somewhere in Fitzroy. There were a number of tag-like, or letter, graffiti that I didn’t photograph. Amongst those there were a few stencils and paste-ups that were interesting.

Two small paste ups. on the right is the head and shoulders of a girl with brown hair and blue top and on the left is a small black and white drawing of a little creature onto which someone has drawn blue eyes and mouth

a black stencil on grey wall of a creature blowing bubbles. The bubbles have been painted yellow. The vreature is sitting. Has the upper body and arms of a human, but the legs of a hairy animal (cat? dog?).

Paste up of almost life sized Asian girl standing in a corner of a garage. Short straight black hair, black pants, and a red floral print on yellow top. Beside her is a large tag graffiti with M O G. The O has been turned into the face of a little creature with big white eyes and a funny round nose

Two street art pieces. On the right is a black stencil of a person wearing an African mask and holding a branch behind his head. He is sitting on the back of an animal. on the left is a simplistic drawing of a square face with two little stick legs

black stencil of a girl sitting on the ground with a doll on the floor beside her

faces of Adnate

Posted on January 13, 2016 by Mary C

While walking in Fitzroy yesterday, I saw this face of a young aboriginal man that was just painted by street artist Adnate.

part of a larger mural, a street art painting of an aboriginal young man's face with white markings on his face, newly painted by Adnate in Melbourne (Fitzroy) with orange cones in front so that people don't walk in front of it.

It is part of a larger mural painted in collaboration with street artist Serum.

newly painted mural in progress, on the side of a house, beside a sidewalk that is roped off. A face by Adnate and a bird head by serum.

below: I have seen a number of these portraits around Melbourne including this one high above Hosier Lane. This lane is filled with graffiti and street art and it is the lane that tourists come to see. I wonder how many of them look up far enough to see the face?

Large mural of the face of an Australian aboriginal boy painted by Adnate in Melbourne - high on a wall overlooking Hosier Lane and all it's graffiti and tourists.

below: Back to Fitzroy where I have seen this large mural a couple of times now. Both times, the combination of the height of the building and the location of the sun has made taking a picture of it challenging.

Rose Carpark animals (plus more)

Posted on January 12, 2016 by Mary C

Rose Carpark is on Rose Street just west of Brunswick Street. In June 2014 many of the walls were painted with street art in a project by Graffix Creative. Many of the images are of animals although there is a lot of letter/text and a couple of murals of other things. Below is a sample of the animal murals…. with the last two images featuring animals of the human kind.

a car park with cars parked on either side, a wall (two storeys high) with a street art painting of a bird on it.
