Glorious Graffiti

Another beautiful mural i saw while wandering the streets of Newtown. This one feels like there is a story behind it i wonder what it is?
I know i have mentioned the graffiti around hear a few times, it really is one of the things i love about where we live. Tagging or random rude words aside, some of the pieces that you walk past are amazing, i wonder what their life will be, its seems like such a transient art form, tomorrow the owner of the house could paint over it, so why do it at all.

There is also the graffiti as a political statement, i guess its meant to make people stop and think and was wondering yesterday if that ever happened ...... and then i realised that i had stopped and thought so i guess it does
And then there are the even more random little pieces that i have no idea who does them or why, but they colour our city and even if they are written on a 100 year old sandstone wall, i still love them, but next time guys maybe pick something without so much historical value
