Among the colourful layers of street art in Melbourne's Hosier Lane, this rather amusing little character caught my eye. Part lizard, part snake, and unmistakably dressed in an AC/DC T-shirt, it seemed to possess a personality of its own, quietly staring back at passers-by from its little corner of the laneway.
As far as I could tell, it had not yet received its official cultural enrichment treatment from the city's ever-evolving street art scene. I took the opportunity to capture it before its brief moment of glory disappeared beneath another layer of paint, courtesy of those mysterious contributors to Melbourne's urban visual landscape. In Hosier Lane, nothing seems permanent. Even the most delightful little characters must make peace with the possibility that tomorrow they may become nothing more than a memory beneath someone else's masterpiece.
