Slap-up

Stickers or slap-ups are often seen in areas of high pedestrian traffic. Technically its street-art, which is art by the people for the people to see and interpret. Traditional graffiti is done with a spray-can with the intention to fuck with the structure of society. Street-art is undertaken by "radical" arts students avoiding their homework (*jokes). I respect everybody in the business of urban art. The raw element however of "getting up" with a sticker is as easy as piss. The work can be completed in the studio and is on the street sign in seconds.

Melbourne is full of intricate laneways. Find a main road in the inner city-suburbs like Brunswick St, Nicholson St, High St or many others and go for a wander. Chances are you find a graffiti "littering the walls". More often then not you'll find more detailed works than what you find on the main streets. Laneways and alleys provide time for the artist to perfect a piece and take the time. Secluded spaces away from cops and angry wankers are a key part to Melbourne's Graffiti Culture.
