Melbourne Suburbs

To many people, Melbourne is the home of street art in Australia, with almost everyone mentioning the city’s lane culture, however, I didn’t visit too many of the lanes during this trip, I only popped in to see if some of the larger works were still there and was happy to see that they were. I find the suburbs to be fertile grounds for a wide range of very high quality art and had great fun heading out each morning, picking a station to get off the train and spending the day just wandering, dropping into a nearby hostelry for lunch and a beer before wandering further

I visited many of the primary areas in which street art is most densely located including Brunswick, Collingwood, Fitzroy, and Richmond. I will just throw up loads of the photographs I took, adding the artist and location information (if remembered or known).

Fitzroy Faces Project

Australia’s talented street artists came together to paint a mammoth 50 metre wall in the street art hub of Fitzroy, located on the rear of a storage facility on Cecil Street

Artists invited to take on the challenge were; Rone, Adnate, Sofles, Heesco, Dvate, Cam Scale and Jason Parker. Each artist, all unique in style, had a creative license to paint a dedicated section of the wall, with the only limitation being that all artworks need to be portrait based, dubbed the Fitzroy’s faces.
