Dandenong Industrial Estate

Sometimes the best pieces are the most simple, less is more. 

 

Freeway walls

In the last 5 or so years there has been a distinct rise in graffiti along highways and freeways particularly around Melbourne. Most track side train walls are taken and now writers are pushing further and further to new places. Nost and Pork are pioneering new spots regularly. This sets a precedent for other writers to put up in what was a socially unacceptable place. 

Yucks destroyed the Monash Fwy several years ago by painting repetitive throw-ups claiming several kilometres of wall space. As soon as someone capped one of his throw-ups he capped it back leaving a staunch message of territorial control. Yucks throw-ups have since been buffed. But he leaves a pioneering legacy.

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.

Claiming your yard

Melbourne's south-eastern suburb of Dandenong is known for its bad reputation. With  little graffiti around town, this area is competitive with most high profile spots already taken particularly by notoriously productive KSA crew (Kicking Some Ass).

Bubble Throw-up Styles

A throw-up or throwie is the artists pseudonym or sometimes the first and last letter of their name. They often have one outline colour and one fill colour. Sometimes they don't have any fill. Throw-ups are designed to cover large and generally high profile spaces quickly and rapidly without being caught.
