I love this blog post by Kate Bezar at Dumbo Feather… because I walk past this too and often have a little smile on my face as I walk away!
“I don’t walk home the same way every day, but when I do walk one particular route, there are a couple of things on Boundary St, Paddington that make my day. Someone (? The name painted on the glass is Phil James) has liquid-nailed this artwork onto the underneath of an overpass. I love it. It sits there like it’s in someone’s living room, so incongruous, but so right.”
“A bit further up the road is a garage in front of a terrace house. As you approach it you can hear classical music, loud and you can’t help but peer in as you walk past. Inside the garage is a guy painting at an easel singing his lungs out completely oblivious to all. I smile the whole way home.”
“What art sparks your day?”
“POSTSCRIPT [4/6/09] : Just heard about The Soapbox Project; ‘an interactive multimedia and arts initiative with the goal of inspiring people to notice & share street art from around the city. You find & photograph street art, share it with our Flickr group and we’ll publicly project it back onto Sydney streets.’”
