Melbourne's 86 tram route as a giant open air gallery of street art

fff

Melbourne, Australia is internationally known for its street art and its trams. Melbourne Street Art 86 imagines Melbourne's 86 tram route as though it were a giant open air gallery of street art with its own regular tram service. The pages in the dark blue side bar below have photos of street art by the suburbs the tram passes through. Locations are noted by tram stop, street location and also on maps of the area that can be downloaded or printed. Other Melbourne suburbs rich in street art are also featured.

Paint upon paint upon paint and something new....

These are some of number of updates to the Clifton Hill page (besides finally putting up the map, which took a long time to do, as it was a fairly complex piece of layout work). I have included a couple of the updates out here as it demonstrates quite well how changeable the public... or near public canvas can be.

In the case above it is a palimpsest of sorts, paint upon paint upon paint. I don't know if they record what they do on phone or camera... or some one else has been photographing street art and graffiti around here; if not, this is probably the only evidence of what was only a few days ago. 

But below it is something different; something new is born where there was only the grain of stone before ... and a bit of a paint upon paint thing happening on the right hand edges of the new arrival.
