Graffiti, Street Art, attractive, an abomination… there are probably as many opinions as there are perpetrators.  Banksy has certainly made it fashionable and therefore, in his case, also highly desirable among the cognoscenti.  Italian obviously is important in this milieu (sorry that’s french).

Some of it is very striking and some in Adelaide has actually been commissioned.  It might actually improve some alleys in some cities.

My favourite was this, it is actually parts of two pieces painted on a flyover and I loved the way the very surrealistic eye is looking at the cartoon character. (A Smoking' Chili)
