Backstreets of Brighton

Highway/Freeway graffiti in Melbourne is a relatively recent phenomenon. It kicked off across many arterial roads around 2010. Nowadays its full of tags, throw-up, elaborate pieces. The Eastern and Monash Freeways are plastered with graff. Drive west and the pieces are double storey stompers. The boundary is limitless (Sofles). Throw Pam the bird into the mix, who seemingly fly's around Melbourne and suddenly nothing is impossible and the limits shifts again. The level gets lifted and suddenly the whole scene is shaken up for a recalibration. Pam the bird is just mocking the city's ability to kid a lid on the graffiti scene. Painting The Westgate road signs and the Cheese-stick and everywhere else in-between. 

The train lines are central to the history and development of almost any graffiti scene world-wide. The freeway scene added this intersectionality with train lines. Crews have new territory to claim. Some Freeways follow train lines the classic being the Nepean Hwy and the Frankston & Sandringham line where you get the likes of crews like Criminally Insane. Alternatively The Eastern Fwy catches the Dandy/Pakenham, Belgrave and Glen Waverly lines. All of which have a long history of writers including the staunch and unwavering Kicking Some Ass and Midnight Rockers.  

Few flicks from Brighton. Good graffiti amongst the yuppified landscape.
