Monday Mural

With Sami in Perth, here is my effort for Monday Mural. 

This mural is huge hence the two photos. It sits at a prominent Preston intersection near to the New Preston Tram Depot, once known as Preston Workshops (for trams). As you can see, it is quite political.

Sami and others join in Monday Murals. What do I have stored up my sleeve? 

Time to clear some old ones. Ok, the last three taken in 2023. They are all great, in my opinion, with the second clearly being a commissioned work.

With Sami and others, Monday Mural.

A little piece of Paris in a Melbourne lane.

Another sad memory post will be published in half an hour.

With Sami as the host, here is my Monday Mural effort and as I said in advance, they are murals in Melbourne's Hosier Lane, a popular place for topical murals, with few lasting very long. 

The LA Rams mural seems like a last minute effort. Oddly most of the murals in the lane at the moment are in black and silver. Within an hour after the game the team was at Melbourne Airport, ready for home. The team was here for barely twenty four hours. LA has never seemed like a place I would like 

Good point.

The mural for the San Francisco 49ers is terrific.

Late today, I know. Sometimes life gets in the way, in this case I was out carousing having a quiet Sunday afternoon drink with friends at a pub and then a light dinner. 

Late as it may be, I'm still joining with Sami and others for Monday Murals.

I'd better set these free from 2024. Actually, I think I may have used the large green one before. The first is rather friendly looking.

Last week's Monday Mural was well liked, and why not. Along with Sami and others, here is this week's, nothing too wonderful. I have to spread the great with the not so great.

An Australian football match is underway and nicely captured in this mural. Atop the building says A.D. 1879. By the team colours, it seems like the former South Melbourne football club, now Sydney Swans. But I cannot imagine a connection between the team and railway workers to be seen in the background.

Sami is the Monday Mural leader, and here is my contribution this week. 

I believe this mural is in Barkly Street, St Kilda. We all need to love; friendly, passionately and deeply.

Look, there is even a Love shop in the background.

As Sami and others post a Monday Mural, this is mine, taken Saturday before last in Portarlington. The fast ferry in the mural travels to either Geelong or Melbourne. We caught the ferry rom Melbourne several years ago with Jo and it is is fast, comfortable and the interior is air conditioned. 

Also, the pier is divided by beautifully decorated panels along its centre, making a very good wind break, with bench seating along the way. I have seen people in summertime swimming and kids playing in the shallow waters of the beach.

Sami and others participate in Monday Mural. 

Phyllis went to an optometrist in Clarendon Street, South Melbourne for an eye test. Eye tests are free for me, but he had to pay $100.

The way overseas students are constantly slugged financially by the Australian government is in my opinion, a disgrace. Yes, they should pay their way, but they are contributing far more than just paying their way.

As Phyllis and Kesav returned, they came across this mural and took photos for me. On the far left, above the monkey's head it says, "Happiness is a quiet revolution". 

Nice, but at times a revolution cannot be quiet. Good luck to young people of the Indian Cockroach Janta Party, with their protests against government corruption. The party and protests has already seen one government minister resign in disgrace.

Along with Sami and others, here is my Monday Mural post.

A cat face in the middle of the mural?

Does he have a tail or is it some kind of dildo stuck up his arse?

Monday Mural

Sami posts a Monday Mural, as I mostly do, along with others.

Have I not shown this mural before? It doesn't seem like it and the photo was taken three years ago, with the work by Mike Makatron. I love it.

Along with Sami and others, here is my Monday Mural. The whole work is in a short laneway just a couple of hundred metres from home.

With Sami and others, here is my Monday Mural photo. 

To me he looks like a well read older intellectual Jewish gentleman. What is your opinion?

Sami and others post Monday Murals. This is a bit interesting.

In other news, Kosov let Jass out onto the balcony, and left the door open.

"Kosov, never mind the cold draught on my legs, think of of the extra power to heat the place with door ajar. Besides, she has a personal servant to open and close the balcony door at her whim, like me".

Slowly, slowly, catchee monkey, like Jass having me to open and close a door for her, and I end up being a servant.

Monday Mural

With Sami and others, here are a series of murals in the same laneway.

Munch's Scream reinterpreted?

Evil eyes.

Cute puppy.

The best that can be said is that some effort was put into this one. 

Monday Mural

Along with Sami and others, here is Monday Mural. This could be North Williamstown Station, but I can't remember.

Along with Sami and others, here is my mural for this week. I found it in an obscure end of a city lane. I think it may be associated with the Fitzroy Football Club that went on. with much sadness by supporters, to move interstate and become the Brisbane Lions.

With Sami and others, this week my Monday mural is perhaps a commercial endeavour but quite good in my opinion.

Sami and others post Monday Mural photos.

This is an exciting new mural, in Bowen Crescent less than 200 metres from my garage gate. It was painted by Pete CTO and features Louisa Briggs, who was an Aboriginal matriarch of the Boonwurrung people and the first Aboriginal woman to become a paid midwife. Louisa died in 1925. Such a shame that while her heritage in this country will go back thousands of years, she was not an Australian citizen.

Sami is the centre of Monday Murals and here is my effort this week. 

While this may have been commissioned by the Castlemaine cafe Saffs, and so is a commercial mural, I quite like it.
