Two very different works by Perth based artist Drew Straker . Above, how totally cool is the camper van painted on an old dilapidated shed behind Mexican restaurant La Cholita on Williams St. in Northbridge.. check out the driver, he's seen better days :) Love it! Below a bit further down William St. (or up depending where you're coming from) this piece luminously glowing in uniquely Straker style outside popular laneway bar Ezra Pound. Hope you had an excellent weekend, I'm having a few 'technical difficulties' with the new desk top.. bear with me :) Happy Tuesday, take care and stay safe.. p.s. check out this one here, so much talent.. !
Love the camper, what a fantastic idea !
ReplyDeleteThat is such fun, Grace! i like his work a lot.
ReplyDeleteEzra Pound is the name of a coffee place here. ;-)
Oh, that is such fun indeed!! You do find the best things to photography and I'm SO glad you share them with us!! Hope you have a great new week!!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is creative.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are really unique and different. Am currently reading "In Montmartre: Picasso, Matisse and the Birth of Modernist Art" by Sue Roe. If you haven't read it already, you might like it.
ReplyDeleteI love that camper van. I can't tell if that front tire is painted on or if there is a real wheel pushed in there. That driver has passed his expiration date.
ReplyDeleteThe campervan is great and it rather tricks the eye.
ReplyDeleteGrace c'est incroyable, je pensais que le camping car était vrai, c'est génial ! Merci pour toutes les belles découvertes :)
ReplyDeletePeculiar, but I like the effect!
ReplyDeleteThat camper van is very cool, it's also like it's been camouflaged...
ReplyDeleteThat camper thrilled me. Perth has amazing art! And one amazing blogger, G!

You sure live in a great place for really neat art.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a few seconds to get was was going on here. Then I thought, "Wow, how clever." Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteVery cool indeed! Love the camper van.
ReplyDeleteInteresting artwork.
ReplyDeleteBoth show his tremendous talent, but that old camper van, wow, that is just incredible. Every stroke of his brush screams, look at me! Every line tells the story of the process of age.
ReplyDeleteTwo great pieces. Thank you for sharing these Grace.
ReplyDeleteMexican restaurants in WA seem as strange to me as they do in France. I hope the two vehicles on top can avoid a collision.
ReplyDeleteI love the painted on camper. I think this is the most unique mural I've ever seen. Great find!
ReplyDeleteWow Grace. That camper van is pure genius. It always amazes me the talent that is out there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great mural, that camper.
ReplyDeleteThis young man has a distinctive talent. Enjoyed seeing more via the link you provided. Good luck with your computer.
ReplyDeleteWhat cool stuff! Tom The Backroads Traveller
ReplyDeleteWonderful work Grace. So interesting!
ReplyDeleteLove the camper van mural!
ReplyDeleteNow this is an original idea!
ReplyDeleteLove the camper van, too, Grace, fantastic work!
ReplyDeleteLove the truck. At first it looked like a rusted wall.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh I thought this was actually a painting! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteWay too cool! Fantastic find, Grace.
ReplyDeleteI didn't really get it at first, I thought it was a real van embedded in something... Fantastic work, creative and deceiving!
ReplyDeleteUnique.
ReplyDeleteNever seen anything like this before:)
Interesting posting.
Thanks for sharing, Grace.
The campervan artwork is so realistic. In some ways, quite dramatic. A unique idea.
ReplyDeletevery good realisation
ReplyDeleteLovely painted camper! Arianna
ReplyDeleteThis is really different!
