Elivis is on the building..


    
 I was as surprised to come across the King down a lane off Angove Street in North Perth as I was to find the Beatles here.. some legends never die! I'm guessing  everyone knows the expression 'Elvis has left the building'.. well maybe not everyone 😉 The mural is based on a famous photo of Elvis and was painted in 2017 by Perth mural artist and illustrator Paul Deej. Look at that grey sky, thank heavens for colourful street art to brighten things up. Happy Monday, take care and stay safe..

    I think well executed street art is terrific, so much better than boring old brick walls. Not so keen on the tag type graffiti though. Poor old Elvis.... wonder what he would be doing now if he was still around. He would be 84 years old!

    I know that Richard III was found buried in a car park in Leicester, but I didn't think you'd find a King buried up to his chest in a car park in Australia. No wonder he looks so sad.

    Elvis continues to be a music icon. I have no idea why, but his image evokes an emotional reaction. Good find on this mural.

    Such a great way to brighten up a bland building and Elvis, no less.

    Nicely done - crown and all. I wish he'd aged better. We might have enjoyed his music longer.
