“I’ve got a mind full of her…”
Art of any type is an expression of emotion regardless of whether it be displayed in galleries, at home, or on the streets. When visiting Melbourne’s lane ways, where much of the cities street art can be found, I was surprised to find a huge amount of art expressing love – falling in or out – and as a special Valentines Day treat I thought I’d share it with you.

August 13, 2012 at 9:23 pmI know this comment is late but never mind. I visited Melbourne a couple of years ago at the end of a three month backpacking trip and just fell in love and I’m now planning to move there for 6-12 months on a working holiday visa!
