Melbourne
Melbourne continues to impress me with its huge range of graffiti. I can't believe how clean the streets are, especially with these walls being located in alley ways or back streets. Hope you enjoy!
Melbourne Graffiti
Finally able to show you some Melbourne graffiti! The colour work is amazing and the images creative. These images were sent to me by a friend living in the infamous city, I was absolutely blown away when I saw them and couldn't wait to share. ENJOY!
"Exit Through The Gift Shop" A Banksy Film. Awesome Documentary, highly recommend people check this out!

I found this article in Yen Magazine. It's about an amazingly talented artist, that brings colour to even the dimmest of places. Check out the video about her awesome work.

Kings and Toys Awesome documentary about what Graffiti really is and what it means to the artists. Graffiti isn't an illegal act, its a movement.
Let's buy happiness I found these pieces in an abandoned hotel in Canberra's north. The hotel has been empty for years now giving people plenty of time to muck around with their designs. Each piece I saw was different to the last, which made it interesting to walk through the hotel. I probably spent around two hours photographing the work until I noticed all the 'asbestos' signs and decided it was probably time to go. A week later I went back to find more and to my surprise there were bulldozers knocking down the whole building. It's a shame such cool street art never got to be seen properly. In my experience it’s the hidden stuff that's the best.

Canberra's 2013 Enlightened Festival Enlightened 2013 allows individuals to experience the capital in a whole new light. One of the stunning attractions they have come up with is using some of the nations most recognised buildings to show off spectacular architectural projections for the public to view from the 1st-9th March. Professional partner, The Electric Canvas, has worked closely with local artists such as Betty Holdsworth, David Sequeira, Eleanor Gates-Stuart, Martin Ollman and Houl to portray their distinctive interpretations of the nations culture. With the shows running from dark till 11pm Monday-Thursday, or dark till 1pm Friday and Saturday it’s a great night out for the whole family. I would definitely recommend everyone checking it out!
It's a shame that something with so much colour and style has to be hidden and sort out in order to be seen.
Graffiti is a form of rebellious art that allows people to express themselves through colour and print. I've been finding some great work in my local area around Canberra, ACT and something that has been running through my mind this week is; are there certain rules or guidelines to doing graffiti? After asking a few people I still couldn't come up with an answer so I jumped on line and found this; Places, People, Things NEVER to work with: 1 . Autos or Bikes – these are personal, everyone hates when their car is messed with. 2 . Windows – windows are for looking through, not at. Unless you’ve got permission. 3 . Clothing – unless it’s for comedy. 4 . Trees – when you staple a tree, you injure the tree. It will die faster because of you. Bad. 5 . Phones or computers – these are also personal, off limits. 6 . Merchandise – do not put your message on a bag of chips unless the message is about chips or made to look like a label for a bag of chips. This is where advertisers work, and on the whole, it’s on the way out – people’ve become numb. 7 . Furniture (indoor or outdoor) – If someone has to move your message to sit down and relax, they’ll be mad, and not only that, they might get so mad as to just sit on it, then fart. 8 . On the ground. 9 . Places where the medium (your paper or sticker paper or whatever else you’re using) will end up trash, polluting the world within a day. Obviously EVER should be your goal here, but if you put a piece of paper outside a building in Minnesota, it’s going to get soggy, it’s going to fall to the ground, a duck is going to eat it and die. 10 . Personal houses, homes, houses of worship. Places where your message SHOULD go to be most effective: 1 . In the front of newspaper stands. 2 . On desks. 3 . On tables. 4 . On countertops. 5 . In backpacks (of drunk people where available.) 6 . On posts and poles of all kinds (provided they aren’t still alive.) Above: A pole in view of the Eiffel Tower. Double whammy! Also you’ll see at least another qualifier soon (#16) 7 . Construction-site walls. This also covers basically anything around a construction site, something that won’t be around forever, something that is in-place for the time being – including places where a window has been broken out and is covered by a board. 8 . Hidden walls, or in the case above, outdoor hallways. 9 . Alleyways. 10 . Places of advertising (not buildings, I mean stacks of paper, billboards, signs, busstops), unless they’re really amazing. I know a sewing store up on the NE side of town that has their own hand-made 3D rocket as an OPEN sign. Do not fuck with that. 11 . Electrical boxes (big, green, gray, ugly, open, amazing). 12 . Down by the train tracks *but BE CAREFUL there’s crazies down there. 13 . Dirty bathroom stalls that already have lots of writing. 14 . Walls backstage at music venues. 15 . The backs of signs (STOP, YEILD, LEFT TURN) 16 . Places identified as workable by other like-minded individuals. Even the fronts of signs can become alright to stick a sticker on, provided enough other people have already rendered it unrecognisable. 17 . On the other hand, if you must paste somewhere where it wouldn’t normally be OK, paste it somewhere noone can see – for example, if you’re at the top of the Eiffel tower, put your sticker under the handrail. True story. Stephen J. Powers wrote a book called 'The art of getting over' and all of the above rules were written by him. I'm sure there are plenty more out there but this is a good start.

Week two’s lecture saw us learning an understanding the true origin of the Internet and just how much it has revolutionized computers and communications to this day. It’s no secret that the internet is becoming an essential part of our everyday lives; it was originally designed to link defense computers and scientists but now we find it to be a new exciting way for connecting and interacting with other people, sharing information and creating alternate identities. Bill Gates stated that:
'The internet is becoming the town square for a global village of tomorrow.'
It seems that now days we don’t venture out on our own to find information we require, rather we just jump onto the nearest electrical device, search Google and find our answer. Is it wrong that we depend on the Internet so much? Is the world becoming an intellectually lazy place? Instead of meeting someone face to face it has become easier to talk over multimedia sites like Facebook, MSN or Skype. Leading to false identities or relationships built on lies, how can someone trust that the information they get of the Internet is legitimate or not?
Although it has it’s down falls the Internet has played a major role in the development of education world wide, it has helped to link distant families, friends or lover’s, it allows artists to get the work out there to be seen and or heard. With every con there is a pro.
With keeping all of this in mind I still find myself wondering:
Isn’t the world bigger then the Internet?
Definitely not your average style of street art but still really cool!
