Busy busy

Well, looky who has been a busy artist whilst I was away. PNTR has been at it again and this first one is the most awesome pieces I have seen in ages. Well done!
This next one I find interesting - it gives me the impression that these are not created at home and pasted up, but put up and then created. Maybe maybe?? If so it certainly adds a degree of timing required. I can't imagine these are quick to create.

PNTR hunting + other sweet stencils

I've been walking a little more than usual due to screwing my ankle a few weeks ago and the MASSIVE winds that we have been having. Biking into a head wind with a bung ankle just doesn't work!

It would seem the elusive PNTR has been around the traps again, gracing us with some more beautiful work. This deer is just off Marion St, on the way to the back entrance of... you know...
And back on Arthur Street the Graff squad has been in full force, cleaning up the buildings, providing fresh canvases.
A little further along the bypass I found this. I honestly don't get it. At all. Sorry. I am sure it makes sense to whomever created it, but I don't get it. Nicely executed though.

Stencils... in... space!

Don't walk up the top end of Dixon Street much, so imagine my joy when I came across New Jazz Trans Plant:
And the butterfly spaceman:

Awesome.

On another note, went to Wanganui this weekend and as I was leading I spotted this:
Someone has REALLY gotten around with this one. I saw it at the start of the motorway in Wellington not that long ago and by the time I got to it, it had been removed. I really like it. It is smart stenciling.

Also like the fact that they have made 'mental' red. I think the one in Wellington was all black.

Love it.

Marilyn "moko" Monroe

This is AWESOME. The lovely Emma from Red Wine & Cigarettes took this photo just up the road from her house and sent it to me today.
It's amazing, I just love it. Thanks Em! xx

Melbourne - Part One

So, I can't take credit for these, they were taken by the lovely Emma who has a blog called Red Wine & Cigarettes but I am stealing them for this blog because they're totes impressive and very colourful. Thanks Emma!

MUGS (+a random selection)

Right, not street art, but I like this, it spoke to me as I was walking home one night, possibly after partaking in 1 too many drinks, but, in the morning, I still like it, so that's a positive.The butterfly may have spoken to me as well. I feel like this is on Webb St, but again, after 1 too many, it could be anywhere between Cuba St & my house.
And then we come to the MUGS. Now, I am not such a fan of tagging, which essentially is what this is, however, I will hive them their dues, they find imaginative ways of tagging:

Like I said, don't 100% approve, but interesting use/collection of canvases.

And PNTR continues to follow me around, or more to the point, I seem to go where they have been. Not sure how old this is, I don't walk down Bond Street very often, however is caught my eye yesterday.
