Yes, it is big..and awesome :) lucky crane operator, what a cool gig!
Sheffield artist Phlegm at work below is more than living up to his reputation as 'street artist extraordinaire'. Check out some of his other work around the world on Pinterest here.
How hard can it be to manoeuvre a cherry picker.. I could do that :)
Our very own Stormie Mills.. I say 'our very own' but I think his reputation is such that he belongs to the world these days, made a start.. the decaying state of the wall adds so much to this rather 'dark' piece n'est pas! When I get back from Sydney the nine day project will be over.. the murals complete, looking forward very much to showing them to you. By the time you read this I'll be on my way, so take care and stay safe until I return a fully fledged 'GiGi', what do you think of that as a possible name for my new status?
It is spectacular, vivid, and dynamic work!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, have a great, safe trip and give the new one a hug from Oregon!! Secondly, I totally agree with William!! This is indeed a spectacular, vivid and dynamic work!! Thanks for sharing! I love the detail you've captured. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteThis just blows my mind. How do the artists ever actually figure out how to draw what they envision on such a large scale. And they work fast! Amazing. Best wishes on your trip; hope that all goes well.
ReplyDeleteI also agree with William!
ReplyDeleteHave a safe trip to Sydney!
Interesting art!!!
ReplyDeleteLovely, the facades of the houses get paintings.
ReplyDeleteI think that these men have an interesting job.
Wow, this is so great!
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic, Grace! The detail and the talent is wonderful! Have a safe flight and don't be too nervous!
ReplyDeleteI'm quitting my job right away! :-) That's what I want to do! Love the close-up too!
ReplyDeleteNow of course you choose the name you like but if you do, you'll have to realise that you'll drive me bonkers because this is what Gigi makes me think of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfVZYFbB1uY&feature=kp
For--mi--dable !
ReplyDeleteThese are simply awe inspiring. Such enormous talent displayed here.
ReplyDeleteGiGi sounds perfect to me! Have a safe and enjoyable trip.
Thanks for the update on the mural!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly imagine how boring those walls looked before the murals went up!
ReplyDeleteGiGi sound fine to me. Hope the baby agrees.
I will be the curmudgeon here. Sorry, I would prefer a well-painted red wall. This "art" would get very old, very fast to me.
ReplyDeleteBut, the best part of today's post is the news that you are on the way to see the lucky grandchild. Grace, you can have the child call you Anything you want!
That is just amazing. I wonder how many hours they've put into it.
ReplyDeleteReal Art so well captured!
ReplyDeleteALOHA from Honolulu

Amazing feats accomplished by these gifted artists!
ReplyDeleteI've obviously missed a very important announcement so will check back a post or two now . . . . Joy x
Cool, I had no idea about this.
ReplyDeleteWell impressive murals there, cheer the place no end
ReplyDeleteImpressive murals! I will go into the city this weekend to admire the new works of art! Enjoy the grandson.
ReplyDeleteI am totally amazed at this artwork. You captured its creation wonderfully. Have a super trip. You will be gushing with excitement when you get back to us. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteSpectacular work! Arianna
ReplyDeleteGreat work - just what it is about with the "pregnant" figure? Perth is reborn and not everyone is happy about the changes? Obviously I have no idea about art...
ReplyDeleteOh, Grace ;-) I go a wee bit with cieldequimper, but it´s quite common on the other hand, huh? Sounds a tad Italian, too, Gigi. But probably your Grandchild will make the decision anyways. I was Aunt Isa for quite a while, now I´m I-his. Hope you have/had a great time in Sydney!
It's been a while I wasn't here :D
ReplyDeleteBut, Well captured, Grace. Respect for those artists, say hi to them for me next time :D
Splendid murals!!
ReplyDeletegreat work...
Large scale amazing.
ReplyDeleteExtraordinary murals and love how they work with the brick work as is. It adds so much character.
ReplyDeleteGreat catch of men at work; however I guess the could be women too. The murals are really impressive.
ReplyDeletemazel tov dear gracie no matter what you're called .. i saw Aimee's photo on instagram of the baby's little hand . boy or girl??????? no matter .. sending much love
ReplyDeleteFantastic.
ReplyDeletethat is so awesome! I would love to see that in person when it's done. I love that this kind of art is accepted there. Great photos also Gracie!
ReplyDeleteGreat documentary!
ReplyDeleteSo it is really good. Great idea. Greetings to you.
ReplyDeleteOh Grace! congratulations "Gigi" - it suits you! Can't wait to hear of more news (and pics) of Mum and bubs. I trust they are well, safe and exuberantly happy - like you!
ReplyDeleteRealmente esplendoroso el graffiti.
ReplyDeleteSaludos.
My kids called my grandmother (their great-grandmother) GiGi and she loved it! My own grandkids just call me "Granny" because that's what I called both of my grandmothers. I know you are enjoying that baby. Have fun!
ReplyDeletegood idea
ReplyDeleteI like this tags
Looks great, I have not been into the city for so long and I need to check it out!
ReplyDeleteVery eye catching
ReplyDeleteImpressionnant, très beau travail :)
ReplyDeleteA massive and important undertaking. Very vivid; can't miss it!!
