Street Art Wednesday

This has to be one of the cutest pieces of street art I have ever seen. These little girls just make me smile and want to join in.

My poor Nikon D60 is still at the camera doctor and I still don't know what is wrong with it. It's so weird to not have it and of course I keep seeing things I want to take photos of. Instead I am stuck with the iphone. It's not really a bad option but it's not the same. I do love Instagram though, so that seems to be my default when capturing images.
 I saw this artwork tonight coming home from work. So cool.

I apologise for the average quality of this photo, I took it with my iphone at night. I saw it the other day when heading out to dinner and something about it just grabbed me and I had to stop and take a shot. I'm drawn to the truth. The truth about who we all really are and the truth behind the facade that we present to the world. Sometimes it's hard to hear the truth and other times it's hard to tell it but at the end of the day, the truth is often the best way to go.

I saw this little guy on my lunch break recently. It's hard to see the detail as I only had my iphone with me, but it looks like a little owl made of tin cans, icy-pole sticks and other odds and ends. He was nailed up below the "No Entry" sign and I'm actually surprised I noticed him.

I'm including two photos today as I think the context of where I saw this art work is quite significant although as you can see in the first photo, if I only gave you context you wouldn't see much. I saw this gorgeous picture on my way to work the other day and it made me stop and take a second look. I love the kookaburra on the branch and the way the girl is relaxing back and the fact that it has been painted up, almost under the rail bridge is great. It's like it's a real little secret. I wonder how many other people have even noticed it?

It's been a wet wet day here in Melbourne today and luckily for me I've been inside almost all day. I did need to pop out and do a few things and after procrastinating for most of the morning I did managed to drag myself out to the shops. On my way back to the car I saw this and despite the rain I had to stop and take a picture with the iphone. Such a beautiful portrait amidst all the "tagging".

I thought I'd include a different type of street art today. The Gertrude Street Projection Festival is on at the moment and tonight we walked down and had a look. There are loads of cool projections on the buildings and the footpaths. I liked this one. The colours and patterns kept changing.

I saw this last week in Sydney. A great twist on Street Art and a lovely way to know which bin is yours!

This is another of the great street art works that I saw in Newtown. Love Alan Rickman!!

On Monday I went to Newtown with a friend and she took me for a walk along this wall of an old church. The wall is covered in street art and also graffiti. I took quite a few photos, so they may be featured over the next few weeks but this was one of my favourites.
