Melbourne's Biggest Legal Wall?

In Ferntree Gully next to the petrol station is the largest organised legal wall in Eastern Melbourne. Back in 2011 many artists from big name crews like AFP, SDM, ADN, MDR and SR painted this wall. Practitioners  Askm, Perch and Dvate paint routinely, related pieces repetitively. They use similar structure and adjust colours, backgrounds, 3D from piece to piece. There is a state of the art, level of skill when you've repeated a piece with a similar style over and over again. This wall and other legal walls inspire artists from the suburbs. It gives them a range of styles to help create new ideas and letter-forms.

Enmore, Sydney

Sydney has a different graffiti scene to Melbourne. It is the largest city by population in Australia however this is not reflected in the Sydney's graffiti. There is still a broad range of works. Sydney has a different architecture layout and appears to have less lane-ways then Melbourne and train walls are buffed frequently.
