Mostly photographing, but little publishing for past three years!!
New year’s resolution - publish my graffiti photograph collection!
Since recording of Newcastle street art began in February 2004 many amazing venues have not only changed, been cleared, or renovated - but some buildings inexplicably (to the
passing, uninformed parade) just simply disappear.
Palais Royale (left) has its backside hanging out [ of photo].
Meanwhile State Rail’s old training HQ went totally missing, taking its delightful mural to the grave. Two years later - no phoenix, just this
mess (at right).
Perennial favourites persist, however:
* Newcastle South Beach - breathtaking, and from riotous bedlam to City Council ultimatum: behave or lose it.
* S&W Miller - bill posters run out of town, almost. Late ‘06 - new work, sadly lacking detail. Maybe city council controlled. "Keep it simple"?
* Mayfield, Webb Park. An evergreen venue of fine work lasting about a year.
* Art students holed up in derelict opposite the art college spread their efforts over every square inch, inside and out.
And several others with a less permanent feel about them. More later.
