below: DJ Carl Cox is the subject of this mural. Unfortunately his portrait seems to be distorted because of the angle needed to get this photo. As you can probably tell, it was painted by Lynch (aka Rory Lynch-Wells)

The last image – it’s not street art, but if you walk along the beach at St. Kilda, you may encounter this couple as they enjoy a leisurely drink by the water. These are Rabbitwoman and Dogman, creations of Gillie and Marc.
