Hosier Lane, Melbourne for Mural Monday

 




It has become a considerable challenge to discover commendable murals upon Hosier Lane in Melbourne. Numerous vagrant individuals now inhabit the byways. The murals I encountered were swiftly besmirched by graffiti within a mere week. I frequently observed tours proceeding along Hosier Lane, yet the countenances of the participants often bore expressions of fatigue and disinterest.

  1. The first two are grim, even without the graffiti.

  2. Una pena que no se respete este tipo de arte, como muchas otras cosas, ya que sirve de adorno y no ver solo cemento en los muros.

    Saludos.

  3. I think the graffiti is scarier than those scary faces.

  5. Bellos murales con la nota desagradable de los que se dedican a mancharlos con sus garabatos.

  6. It's too bad people feel the need to add graffiti to a mural. Interesting faces on the murals though.

  7. It is bad to destroy art for sure. But ones that look like these I would not mind.

  12. Which came first in Hosier Lane?
    Powerful murals that attracted vagrants to live there? Or
    Lots of vagrants in their sleeping bags meaning the lane had to be cleaned up?
