Fitzroy

Fitzroy is awesome 
I found all this Graffiti art just in the backstreets on the way back from the supermarket a couple of blocks from our apartment. Admittedly I took a few sidetracks to find this stuff but its pretty awesome and all over the place
  This is a massive wall opposite the nearby library - I love the middle aged Teenage Mutant Ninja Donatello (far side)  The Princess Mononoke also has a matching Prince Ashitaka down the other end of the alley :)

The tsunami has been on this wall since the first time I visited in April but the others must have been done later
This is a small Audrey Hepburn (breakfast at Tiffany's) next to a chihuahua(?) and an octopus(?)

There is graffiti everywhere - its wonderful! You are always wondering what sight is going to be round the next corner - and its never painted over :)
There is also some tagging but overall the art takes over this part of Fitzroy its wonderful!
It really gives an edgy and creative feel to this suburb which makes me feel right at home
:D
