Laneway Street Art by onewing

Laneway Street Art

I am posting early today because I am pretty busy clearing out kitchen cupboards. Isn't it amazing just how much junk you keep past its use by date!

A while ago I took a photo of street art in one of the laneways in Nelson Bay and then forgot about it. It wasn't until a couple of weeks ago when I was in Nelson Bay again and saw the artist Rhys Fabris working on the other end of the laneway that I remembered about this photo.

I asked if I could take a photo of him working on the artwork and he agreed. We had a bit of a chat about his paintings and I discovered that he lives in Anna Bay and has been commissioned to paint more walls in and around the Anna Bay area too. I saw him again the next day and took another photo. I will post those photos tomorrow, but for now here is the first part of his painting in the laneway.


Wow this is fantastic .. know one would 'tag' that... and alot more colourful than a plain brick wall...

What great street art! And cool to have met the artist.

@julzmaioro That's the problem with street art is that someone always wants to tag it. Rhys did tell me though that this artwork is going to have a protective coating on it so that if anyone does tag it, then the scribble can be removed.

@photographycrazy @annied @koalagardens @sugarmuser @haskar @ethelperry @dide @happysnaps @chimfa @mittens @seattlite @ludwigsdiana @peadar @beryl @cmp @ladoga365 @777margo @sangwann @mittens @seattlite @carolmw @julienne1 @yaorenliu @carole_sandford @pyrrhula @radiogirl @taffy Thanks, I am going to post more of his work over the next couple of days. All his artworks are of local flora and fauna so I hope to find more over the next few weeks.

@casablanca Kitchen cupboards are all looking good now. All pre-war foods have been thrown out.

@robz Thanks Rob. I don't very often resort to domestic duties in my daily activities, must have been the medication. I think I am on the mend now.
