After yesterday's Requiem for a Soldier street art, I thought I would continue with this piece of street art from the centre of Newcastle. The street art on this street changes at regular intervals.
I am posting a bit earlier today because after a day spent painting our bedroom, we are out at the photo club this evening.
Graffiti artists always seem to have ongoing work.....I wonder if they get paid off doing it? Painting your bedroom is a calmer result than this I hope Babs!
HI Babs, where was this taken, I haven't spotted it as yet. I was in Melbourne at the weekend and saw some great stuff but I think Newcastle would rival anything they have down there. We should set up street art tours!
This photo today is on Thorn Street just off Hunter Street. I have taken more photos of the street art around Newcastle too from the above map. My favourite is of the aboriginal boy at Wickham. A similar one appears in Melbourne too as the artist is from Melbourne.
Happy snapping.
@happypat I am not sure about this particular artwork, but others that I have posted for the Hit the Bricks festivals have all been commissioned and the artists are internationally famous. Most have exhibitions around Australia too.
Our bedroom painting is much calmer that this. Next is painting the dining room and then on to the lounge room once our new wood burner fire has been installed next week. It is all go. Hope you are in less pain now and able to get about a bit more.
@onewing I've got a photo of the aboriginal boy in Wickham on 20 Jan which you commented on. I saw another one of his in the Melbourne laneway but the light wasn't right and I couldn't get a good shot.
