Urban Wall-Capers (Part 1)
Walking along Doggett Street in Fortitude Valley I stumbled upon some interesting graffiti in an alleyway. I’m not in the habit of strolling down deserted back alleys in the Valley but the artwork caught my eye from the street so I just had to venture down. Curious. With camera in hand. I only managed to take three photos before my batteries died, hence the ‘part 1’ in the post title. I plan to return sometime to take more shots because there was so much more sprayed across these alley walls. I’m thinking of making Urban Wall-Capers a semi-regular, random kind of blog feature. I’m now eager to explore more inner-city alleys with hopes of discovering more interesting graffiti. Of course only if I have my camera with me. As my camera is quite heavy, I’ll be able to whack potential alley muggers across the head with it and knock ‘em out cold should they try and disturb my latest fun, yet pointless pursuit.
Marilyn from Pulp Sushi blog kindly passed this award along to me last week. This means a lot to me because Pulp Sushi has been a favourite blog of mine for so very long now! It was a blog I was regularly visiting long before I started my own blog & I’ve been a devoted fan since the day I happily discovered it. Thanks so much Marilyn! You rock! Love everything you do! xo
I’m meant to pass this award along but it’s all too hard narrowing down faves. So if you pop in here regularly & manage to stay awake through all of my waffling, then you certainly deserve an award. So this one goes to you! It's delivered with my biggest squishiest hugs!

Urban Wall-Capers I think would be a fabulous addition to your already fabulous blog!
And congratulations on your award from Pulp Sushi, you're always so generous passing the awards along!
Returning your biggest squishiest hug, you silly goose you! ;)
I think graffiti art would make a great regular feature.
Congrats on your well deserved award!!
Firstly, congrats on the award ;p
Wall graffitti..very interesting, love the first one with that red giraffe, looks fun. We have some here..though I never pay any attention to them. Make sure you keep safe at all times, but I am sure you can pack some karate chops to whoever! Isn't it frustrating when the batteries go flat :( Will be looking forward to part 2, by and squishy hugs to you too
And I love graffitti art! So much is fascinating! Keep posting your finds, but please be very careful where you go!
Maybe a can of mace would be in order for your new pursuit.
Congrats on the award!
pro-graffiti...*certain* graffiti anyway. seems like everything else that's illegal or "wrong" goes..things that are much more detrimental to the people..., so why not have a lil street art thrown into the mix from some talented folk just trying to do their thing?
congrats on the award. :-)
By the way, I blogged your ACEOs today - you'll find them in the world's longest blog post :P

And thank you for your Urban Wall Capers!! These are great pics - can't wait to see more (my camera's not that heavy, otherwise I'd wander around the Valley allies myself!) ;)
The Valley has so many great things to look at - when you really look.
Congratulations on your award..your blog is wonderful and so deserving.
Would you believe, I am dragging things around looking for shadows already..I want to be prepared for Sunday..Had these little burrs stuck to my clothes, from getting on the ground. I know I am starting to frighten the neighbors..
I always enjoy your pictures!1
congrats on the award too!!
We have little graffiti in our community, most by gang members (drug dealers) with lil' bitty brains...no creativity, but the boxcars exibit beauty from afar.
Congrats on the award!!!

Congrats on your award!
would it surprise you that where i live there is almost no graffiti? no pictures at all, and only the occasional amateurish word. the council is very fast with their cleaning!
Well done on the award.. must check out pulp sushi now.. See you at SSS :D
