This sculpture is one of several in the Queensland town of Townsville Take a peek here http://picasaweb.google.com/bronkin/Townsville for the others - it'll put this one in context!
A new challenge from our artistic director - the fabulous Dimitrios!! He writes.......
Ok my am3 friends YOU HAVE Asked for it. A new theme for your talents to be put into action. Wall graffiti always fascinated me. A strong message is given, an art is produced for all to enjoy free of charge or maybe it can be ugly. So go out , look around, small or big does not matter, find the graffiti that impresses you, photograph it and show to the am3-world this great form of expression or dislike if you think it does so. Please post your contribution with the title GRAFFITI DAYs on Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 NOVEMBER 2007. ADVERTISE the idea to as many of your am3 friends as possible. Best photo-regards, DIMITRIOS
marvelous concept.
