Every 'dog' has it's day!



I'm working with archive shots here as I haven't picked up my camera since the accident two weeks ago.. thank you so much for all the love coming this way during this unbearably sad time, hugely appreciated. I'm hoping to get back to posting daily beginning with the CDP theme day on the 1st of August. In the meantime I've been keen to show you two murals by one of my favourite Perth artists Paul Deej who's talent you've seen here many times. The super cool mural above inspired by the 1992 American neo-noir black comedy Reservoir Dogs and below on the corner of Walcott & Learoyd St. in Mt. Lawley the Hollywood starlet Anne Shirley. There's a Deej mural in Fremantle that's high on my 'must capture' list! Hoping to catch up with what you've been up to over the next few nights.. take care and stay safe..

  21. So sad to hear you've suffered loss, Grace. It is a privilege that people come into our lives, and stop awhile.

    Loved the shots of those murals. In our thoughts.

  22. Saddened to hear of your accident. Hope you are doing well. I've been touring around California and refused to take my PC so I've been digital free except for my dumb phone and camera. Neat murals. There were several nice murals in California. I think there were more in SoCal than NorCal. Too much traffic to take photos while driving though. Now if though.

  39. Today, by chance, I found your photo of the mural of Anne Shirley in Perth. I checked out the artist and the site of the mural on Google Street View. Very sadly it has disappeared, replaced by posters advertising "awesome food, delivered"!!! Very sad to see. I've been working, since 2010, on an amateur project on Anne's life and career and this mural is the first of its kind I've seen featuring her. The artist, Paul Deej, deserves 11 out of 10 for choosing her as the subject. If you visit this site there are 2 photos of how it once looked.
