Some curious and colourful street art in Novi Sad, Serbia. Who is it, I wonder? And what does it say? And why does there appear to be a little pack of cigarettes in the bottom right corner? The street art was unusually at odds with the general historic feel of the city centre. The lovely town has so many gorgeous …
Dog shrine in Brooklyn, New York
We were searching Brooklyn’s backstreets for espresso coffee and were directed down towards the desolate waterline. As we walked through the puddles we happened upon an odd shrine. To a long departed, much loved pet? And this strange tribute to a banana, accompanying it off to the side. Later defiled by someone crass, no doubt.
Dead bird graffiti in Redfern, Sydney
If you fight your way through the swarms of students pushing their way towards Redfern station, you can see this lovely piece on Lawson Street. It looks great in situ against the colour of the worn brickwork with a wacky car as an accessory in the foreground.
Skeleton Dog Graffiti, Melbourne
While taking a lunch break from schmoozing a little at the Arts Centre in Melbourne, I happened upon this fantastic piece of street art in one of the CBD’s hip and charming laneways. Loving the skeletal/greyhound/jackal/scientific drawing style imagery.
Helvetica Danger in Dubrovnik, Croatia
An ambiguous warning discovered whilst strolling (climbing agonisingly, dripping sweat in 45 degree heat) through the streets above the Old Town in Dubrovnik, Croatia. I was wary of fonts for the rest of the day.
Roller Derby Street Art, Melbourne
A Melbourne laneway brightened up by epic street artist and illustrator Debs. She has a big reputation for a reason, and brings some much needed female strength to the street art scene. This piece was inspired by my dear friend Reese Geronimo and makes me pine for my roller derby days long gone.
Numbat Street Art in Fremantle, Western Australia
I love this amazing wall piece in Fremantle, Western Australia! For those of you who can’t identify the animal, I’m quite sure that it’s a gigantic numbat!
Street Art in Ljubljana, Slovenia
In Ljubljana they have quite cute street signs at the zebra crossings of a stick man holding a child’s hand. But, ‘Oh No!’ This little guy’s caught on fire!! You can also find some cool Slovenian political graffiti here.
Magic Mural in Reykjavic, Iceland
Some people believe that Iceland is a magical faraway place, inhabited by whimsical pixie like creatures, such as Bjork, and moomintrolls. Well, those people are correct. Despite what Icelanders say, their country is an otherworldly place full of mythical creatures and wonder. This pretty mural I passed in Reykjavik actually sparkled!
Biplane Mural in Ghent, Belgium
I happened across this super-cute biplane mural on Kanunnikstraat in Ghent, Belgium. Surrounded by a magpie sculpture, parachutist, and odds and ends, it really brightened up the street, and my day!
