Melbourne is famous for its laneways. Some have central rows of seating under umbrellas, some are flanked by small dark cafes. Many flaunt colourful street art. In Fitzroy there is a particular cobble-stoned lane used a lot in films, usually in scenes of dark deeds. In daylight things look different.
While that was benign (it reminded me of Patricia Piccinini’s work) others looked downright scary:
I am AFRAID I’m unable to give credit to the artists!

I’ve enjoyed the M & M’s, and thanks for the recontact with Piccinini’s work
Glad you got a kick out of it Helen.
I never knew that Melbourne had these! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Melbourne is worth a visit – lots of art, music and very groovy-looking people. Very lively.
Sounds just wonderful 🙂
More Aussie street art please…
There are some more images, not great, but I could try an occasional post. The ones in that lane were actually quite scary, even in daylight! Melbourne is THE Australian capital for street art. Thanks for your interest John.
Thank you Philippa – I am interested to see if Australian street images are different than those on north America – I imagine not as the age group of street artists tends toward similar concerns, at least in first world countries and most have access to the web…
That’s a good enough reason! I will try to oblige, John.
Gracias Philippa…
Have you seen ruby blue, John? Her images are mostly from Sydney.
