I hate blank concrete walls, it reminds me I live in a concrete jungle. However, I do like that they make a wonderful canvas for some!
Life’s better in colour, yes?
Adelaide has some but doesn’t have a lot of this going on (that I’ve found anyway) but I understand that Melbourne has much more. Black Mark showcases some of this – here and here.
Are you aware of any other cool street art, in Adelaide or elsewhere?

I used to live near a bar some decades ago, where the little brick building had a mural of dinosaurs on the wall. It caused quite an uproar then, but I enjoyed it, and it was always easy to tell someone where I lived.
Dinosaurs, uproar – I love it! Do you have any photos?
What a fabulous street arts!!! Cheers Nonoy Manga
I love street art – it really adds to the environment in a positive way I think! (Well most of it does :))
I love street art! I especially love stencil art and pasted paper art! There was a thriving street art community when I lived in Dunedin (New Zealand) which was mainly of the pasted paper kind and it was awesome!… but yes, now I’m in Melbourne there’s some spectacular art all over the place!
Melbourne is great for that stuff isn’t it? I love the little back alley lane ways with their arty walls and shops – I’m overdue for a Melbourne fix I think!
Do you have any pics of any of the Dunedin art you saw?
It was from years ago.. but I’ve got a couple of photos in one of my FB folders: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.7282486791.19854.664396791&type=3
I like the little stencil ones that pop up all over the place. Have you seen Exit Through the Giftshop?
Yeah me too – I usually see them when I’m driving so never get the photo! I’m good with driving and iPhoning but not that good!
I haven’t seen Exit Through the Giftshop – can you get any pics? Where is it?
It’s a doco. I think you’d enjoy it
I shall check it out! I don’t suppose you have a copy?
Nah, sorry, I quickflixed it
It’s ok, I will hunt it down!
