A Small Collection of Melbourne Street Art

"It appears that we are failing in our battle against vandalism, particularly graffiti." Mayor of the City of Yarra in The Melbourne Times




I've never scrawled on a wall. Never tagged a train. Never carved my initials into a tree trunk. Never stencilled the sidewalk and I don't think I will ever do so.




But there is an abundance of art appearing in our streets that shows real creativity.



Like a clever t-shirt slogan, I think a stencil that might make some people think about something greater or a point of view that differs from their own is hardly wrong.



I love Melbourne culture. The beautiful people vs the bohemians.



Ms Mayor, our city's street art is far more interesting than a blank grey wall. Tackle tagging if you wish, but leave the true artwork alone.
