I think it's pretty obvious that my love for all kinds of art (especially street art) becomes apparent as soon as you lay your eyes on anything that I do.
Hence why the necessity for a second thought was thrown out the window when I attended the May's Lane Street Art Exhibition at Carriageworks a couple of weeks ago. It was AMAZING!!! Huge boards of art everywhere and my phone was in overdrive as a camera as I rapidly clicked shot after shot after shot. It was inspiring and I definitely have my favourites.
See the whole thing started when the director of the curated laneway Tugi Balog, moved to May Lane in 1999. Back then May Lane was a hotspot for theft and grafitti. So when Balog felt the need to do something he erected five massive interchangable boards for the grafitti to take place. Soon thereafter artists were coming from all around Australia and even overseas as well to energise and give this city a little colour. Tugi Balog does more than just put up boards but pitches in $30,000 a year to make sure that it continues to run year after year.
<--This one right here is my NUMBER1 choice of all the artworks there that day. It was just so different to all the others and if you saw it in person and witness it in it's large scale, you could actually see so much detail and appreciate the amount of work that went into it.
