During our week in Melbourne we saw many new murals. I managed to find a few without too much graffiti drawn on them. It seems to be a thing now that all murals are being defaced with graffiti.
It’s great to walk around the different neighbourhoods in Melbourne and find street art. You can often miss various artworks if you’re walking on the wrong side or not looking up. These murals really brighten up the drab walls and sides of the buildings.







“The Phlegm Robot”
By Phlegm a British street artist. A five story tall robot depicting a small village inside his head. The light on the building has been incorporated to show the beating heart.
My favourite is the one with the dogs. Although the most interesting is the last one, so intricate. Also the only one with any information about it.

Oh wow these are great. But guess what only 1 of them is familiar. I think you’ve got new ones that is why it wasn’t painted over yet with graffiti
Yes so annoying isn’t it
All those little lanes have been ruined
Some great finds Ali
Thanks Brian 🙂
These are all great but I especially like the first and last, plus the one from Chapel Street with the face and the tree growing in front
Splendid collection. The last one must have been so difficult to do. Imagine calling yourself Phlegm though!
Thanks Anabel. Yes, these artists are very eccentric
Thanks Sarah, it makes walking so much more interesting although I did have to keep stopping and taking a few shots
The last one’s amazing, Ali. I really like the faces, too. Is the second one Bowie? xx
Thanks Jo, yes it is. I did love his music
Me too xx
These are all great finds. We have one similar to the Chapel Street face here. I wonder if it was the same artist.
Thanks, possibly they do get about
You always find the most beautiful murals!
Thanks Meg, I do like a good mural 🙂
So many talented people…the murals, especially the last one, are great. Too bad about the graffiti.
Thanks Karen, yes it’s just jealousy
