Our Valley Trip with Phil

As promised the rest of the photos from our Valley catch up with Phil, it was a pretty quick catch up but we did manage to pack in as much street art as we could, unfortunately they have really cracked down on the Brisbane street art scene making spots harder to find these days :(

The mural above is by an artist called Beastman and sits outside an indie radio station 4ZZZ :)

I definitely don't know all the Brisbane artist I just tend to take photos of what appeals to me like cute chicken paste-ups!

I also wanted to start taking more photos of the architecture around - something I often overlook.



A Lister piece out the back of Rehab Records. Lister is a well known artists who has Brisbane roots and who gets mixed reviews on personality :P

I'm sure I've taken this photos before but we usually go adventuring at night - it was a nice change to be able to take photos in the daylight with nice lighting :)

 looking up

Super kawaii :P

Mario! Raccoon Mario was always my favourite add on

Ben and I stopped in at the Brat Haus for some yummy hot dogs, the place had a cool theme with a beer garden out the back complete with an awesome painting by Sofles (definitely one of my fav Brisbane artists!)

Look at that action shot!

 The streets were eerily quiet due to a public holiday

I'm not sure if you guys know but I've got a soft spot for taking photos of signs :P

Garfield is making a comeback peeps, mark me words :)

Scuba monkey!

Phil and Ben doing their thing :)

 and a photo for a bike safety campaign perhaps or too cliched?

Lucky last shot - the things you find lying in the streets!

  4. That Lister work looks pretty interesting. It's really a shame they've cut back on the street art. I assume you meant the city.

    1. Yeah Brisbane in general, they've done a big crack down, our mayor is very anti public art, which I think is a shame because there are people out there doing some amazing works and making the place colourful :)
