I ventured to the inner city suburb of Newtown for some attractive graffiti to feature on this theme day. This artwork appears on the side of a furniture shop on the corner of King Street and Rochford Street. Newtown is a very colourful inner city suburb where many students, bohemians, hippies and yuppies make their home. It's also a very multicultural suburb but I'm not sure why they have specifically chosen to depict Latino characters here. Anyway, my best attempt for translations of these Spanish messages across this wall are "What's Happening!", "Newtown...My Neighbourhood" and "He's Crazy!".

Isn't Newtown amazing. I did a photowalk there last Saturday, organised by Rob of Lightstalking http://www.lightstalking.com/
ReplyDeleteHad no idea any of that was there.
Ann, it certainly is amazing. I see something surprising or new, every time I go there. That walking tour sounds very interesting.
ReplyDeleteLovely expressive graffiti.
ReplyDeleteNice graffiti for theme day : )
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome. The middle one is my favorite!

ReplyDeleteI like the pictures, but can't say the same of the graffiti/murals. Anyway, ours are much worse than these!
ReplyDeleteLove graffiti...

Hmmm. For some reason it never occurred to me that Sydney would have a Spanish-speaking barrio! How interesting!
ReplyDeleteVery colorful and artistic, but trying to read what it says is like looking at a optical illusion. Impossible for me.
ReplyDeletegogouci, I'm with you on that. I can't figure out the message in the graffiti style writing either.
ReplyDeleteSo is this colourful work invited wall art or uninvited graffiti, Jim?
ReplyDeleteVery loco indeed!
ReplyDeleteNice colourful artwork and thanks for the translation ... I was wondering what it said.
