Howard Lane just off St. George's Terrace was one of the first to be upgraded in the
City Laneways Enhancement project. This super cool quirky mural (the unsuspecting guy on the corner was an added bonus haha!) titled 'Night Forest' by Brooklyn based artist
Yok in his very
distinctive style which I believe originated right here in Perth and can be seen all around the world. I wonder if
Daryl in NYC has seen a Yok on her travels about town! Just around the corner is the doorway into
Helvetica one of the many small trendy bars in 'the hidden doorway' club scene that is growing in Perth, Yok has been busy here also. There are so many unique murals around Perth created by local and international artists I thought I might just pop one in now and then, what do you think? Hope your week is progressing well, take care and stay safe.....
Nice wall paintings Grace....good photo's again.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Joop
So bright and vibrant! I love seeing these kinds of things because - you just won't find them in tiny little towns where I am! (Lucky for me NYC is so close:) I love the added bonus of that guy - he fits nicely, haha!
ReplyDeleteFun, colorful wall painting and, yep, the guy fits nicely indeed!! Hope your week is going well, Grace! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteNice forest, Grace.
ReplyDeleteWe have not such big murals here. This one has bright beautiful colors!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good one, Grace. And the guy adds a bit of extra flavour!
ReplyDeleteThat guy is a spy for the CIA. But you knew that.
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice mural. My only recommendation is that you personally check out all those trendy bars in the "hidden doorway club scene" and report back. You maybe ought not to drink in every one of them though or you'll end up photographing the murals upside down. :)
He's kind of good looking... :-) Did I just say that? Really?
ReplyDeleteLove the blue!
There must be a trend to paint murals because I'm starting to see quite a lot of them going up around town. That club scene might be worth checking out.
ReplyDeleteFun wall
ReplyDeleteGreat work. Yes, first image is excellent. Please have a good Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteSorry, Grace, I am no fan of graffiti. I think the attention we give them encourages them to deface more and more walls.
ReplyDeleteNormally I'd agree Jack, when it's a mish mash of different unwanted tags, but when it's a commissioned work by an artist to brighten up an otherwise dingy dreary space we might have to agree to disagree haha!
DeleteI do like those shots, Grace. Very colourful.
ReplyDeleteYou could have called the first photo, 'Artist takes a break from his artistic endeavour'.
ReplyDeleteThat's some mural.
ReplyDeleteYup, it's Perth for me!
ReplyDeleteALOHA from Honolulu

those, ahem, anonymous commenters are spam. you ought to click on the little trash can and dump them.......just saying....
ReplyDeleteAlthough I am selective in giving approval to "murals" or "graffiti" this one passes the test. Love the colors and action!
ReplyDeleteBises,
Genie
I love this kind of street art, very beautiful mural in blue!
ReplyDeleteLéia
Some murals lighten up a dull wall and this one sure does.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree with Jack and also the so-called 'artists' usually deliver quite poor things, with a few rare and welcome exceptions.
ReplyDeleteI'll stand in Jack's corner on this one too. Let the old city buildings stand unobstructed with tis paint.
ReplyDeletePhila had a good number of murals. I keep telling myself I should do a little mural excursion and photograph them.
ReplyDeletei havent but now i am going to be on the lookout for his tags ... i love that person in the shot, he adds to it ...
ReplyDeleteI do agree that he succeeded in brightening up the wall
ReplyDeletePerth should be very pleased as a City to have you blogging about this lovely place. I have been catching up with your photos. They are just super, Grace. Looks like the temperatures are dropping a tad too. That can't be bad. No street art like this in Coventry...looks so cool.
ReplyDeleteAs long as it's commissioned work in an area that needs revival and it's nothing offensive, so be it. This work looks unique. You should join us at Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteTrès sympa. J'aime le graffitis intelligents.
ReplyDeletevery nice, I like clever graffitis.
Do 20-somethings ever look up from their phones and notice what's going on around them? Really.
ReplyDeleteA great mural and I like both shots.
ReplyDeleteOf course, what a splendid website and informative posts, I surely will bookmark your blog.
ReplyDeleteBest Regards!
