Early January Street Art and All-Female Paint-up in Blackall Street

Earlier this month, I took a visit to Blackall Street in order to check out the street art scene. Over a year ago, the buildings here started to come down and scaffolding has been placed up that has been reclaimed by street and grafitti artists. Blackall Street was always one of the destinations that I'd go to see street art even before the buildings came down. This month, a group of all-female street artists banded together to paint up the scaffolding here. The photographs can be seen below.

When I visited, street artist Kaes (covered here) was also creating a new piece between the work that the girls painted. You can see how the artist paints in his unique style with panels of colour before adding the fine details and highlights of colour. Contrast the piece directly below with the green portrait underneath it, which is finished.

Every time I visit Blackall Street, there is something new to look at.
