One of the great things about living in Melbourne is being surrounded by amazing street art. A few weeks ago I went on a street art tour operated by the appropriately named Melbourne Street Art Tours, and some of the stuff we saw was pretty awe-inspiring...none more so than this.
It was created over a couple of days by a group of French graffiti artists called Da Mental Vaporz. It's very big and very awesome and gets even better close-up.
I especially love this section featuring two moles tumbling from the dinosaur's turf hamstring.
What I don't love is dealing with Google's horrid system for loading pictures onto my blog, so let's see if embedding a video of the graffosaurs creation will be easier. It's not too long, well worth a watch and has a bit of tilt-shift technique, where by tilting your shifter you magically make things look all miniature and model railway like. It's very bloody clever and if you haven't seen any before go here and have a fresh pair of undies handy. Actually no, don't do that, click on the video below first and then go there.

OK, hopefully Google will let me load one more picture to finish. This delightful hippo is lurking down an alleyway off Gertrude Street in Fitzroy. I have named her Gertrude.
fantastic stuff. I drive down gertrude street sometimes. Will look for it.
