Ghostpatrol creates the most whimsical, marvellous street art. I first saw his stuff in the flesh in Melbourne years ago, but I didn’t know it at the time. He’s now an established artist (he’s like an Aussie version of Banksy… but personally I think he’s even better).
I’m not a fan of graffiti, but I love street art far too much to ever be totally against it. Those inane taggers need to have their hands tied together, no doubt about it, but a colourful mural or a quirky little artwork left in the dead of night in an otherwise abandoned and grey part of the urban landscape… that’s alright by me. I guess I will take the tags if losing them meant losing the good stuff.
