With the Games almost upon us in Melbourne there is a big effort to make sure the city looks good. This includes lots of `stern words' from people in power about the evils of graffiti. Sure, tagging can look a bit vandalistic and pointless to the masses when there are some good creative images around. There's a good selection of websites and books around on street art in Melbourne. Famed UK stencil artist Banksy has displayed his wares around the place, as this website attests (the image of Child in Diving Helmet is actually in Cocker Alley, just opposite the Flinders Lane police station. I had a look at it this afternoon).
