Street art in Melbourne: Preston

Last year I took quite a few street art photos around Preston.  When I saw a lovely piece of artwork last week, I decided it was time to collate as many of my Preston street art photos as possible, dating back to 2014.  I could not find a few but there is plenty of colour and imagination here.  Above is one of my fave artworks from the walls of Jackson Dodds cafe.  Another bird - a parrot - can seen below.  Enjoy.

 The bike rider on a wall at Northland, 2014.

 An angel at Northland, 2015.

Above and below - a couple and bird art, 2017.


I get a laugh every time I pass this old Real Estate business where someone has painted the words Secret Agents.  It is so Get Smart.  (below)

Below are photos from  2024 (around Gilbert Road, Plenty Road, the Nevoliany Scopia Social Club at 1 Miller Street, Circus Nexus on Chifley Drive)











This last photo was taken just days ago on the wall of Newlands Primary School.  It is so beautiful and immersive.

  2. I think the butterfly wings are meant to be in a photo with a person "wearing" them (standing in front of them). Nice art.

  3. I love that you've collected all the pictures of street art over the years and collated them here. I think the bike rider one is very Banksy and I love the secret agents! Fun fact - there's a town called Preston in the north of England, I doubt it's street art is as good as it's Australian namesake though!

Thanks for dropping by. I love hearing from you. Please share your thoughts and questions. Annoyingly the spammers are bombarding me so I have turned on the pesky captcha code (refresh to find an easy one if you don't like the first one)
