Pictures Off The Wall Zofia Nowicka

Walk with me and explore Melbourne's famous street art and graffiti in the city's labyrinth of lanes. Melbourne is famous for its arcades and lane-ways. There are many hidden art works tucked around street corners, little surprises waiting to be discovered. Secret passages leading to outdoor urban art galleries. It's very Melbourne. As Banksy said about Melbourne graffiti: 'Australia's most significant contribution to the arts since they stole the Aborigine's pencils'. Of course, the nature of street art is that it's forever changing, so to record it, one has to be fast. I spent days ducking down the alleys stepping over bins and taking a lot of photographs of official and less official pieces of inspiration. I selected 30 images and compiled them in a book of graffiti to be hand coloured in infinite ways. - Colour 30 unique images - Images are printed on only one side of a page to reduce bleed through - Bright white colour paper - Use your choice of colouring tools (pens, pencils, markers, crayons) - Images range in complexity from beginner to advance level - Provides hours of stress relief, fun and creative expression for people of all ages
