Home again from a quick trip to Holmesglen-part 1

Holmesglen sits on the Glen Waverly line. whilst it connects to the Belgrave line it has its own distinct and unique identity. Here we find ACM, ACA, ID, KSA with some old SDM crew pieces still kicking. Artists that have been risking it all from the 1980's for an artform with high risk, low reward. The history of it all, seeing Nasa and Merda pieces from the earlier Melbourne graffiti generations mixing in with the modern pieces. Melbourne's suburban graffiti culture holds strong.

Merda piece fades, but holds its own 2024 well over 10 years since it was painted. Unique abstract lettering and style

Dandy Line

The bleak built-up urban environment of Dandenong provokes the artistic community to change it and make it better. Everybody hates graffiti but huge grey concrete walls are just as fucking offensive. Dandenong is a great multicultural diverse town with good graffiti, great River Red Gums and shit architecture. Industrial landscapes are slowly changing with the state government's urban renewal project "Revitalising Central Dandenong." This will pour money into public infrastructure to improve the amenity.

Pakenham line Piece

Highly talented artists produce work like this with no drips, mistakes and sharp defined lines. It includes elements of 3D with light shadows, movement lines, splash background and a conventional chrome fill with white highlights.
