They really do need a girl


It is said that there is a thin line between art and porn when it comes to nudity in movies. So too with graffiti and its thin line between art and vandalism.

I saw this piece of graffiti though which I think sums up the reason for most of the rubbish graffiti in the world. It's usually done by young men who just need to get laid.

Art in Melbourne


Amsterdam comes to Melbourne

Dutch Masters from the Rijksmuseum - Amsterdam, is a collection of 17th century Dutch art, on display in Melbourne while the Rijksmuseum is being renovated. Quite impressive that this collection will be here.

St. Kilda Street Art

Meanwhile in my home neighbourhood of St. Kilda I have been seeing this most amusing street art/political protest installation. Little flags pinned onto dog turds on the nature strip.
