These are some recent snap shorts of Brisbane. Spring Hills is part of the Brisbane CBD (central bussiness district) located at the north side of Bristane. Brisbane is the third largest city in Australia, there is a good Asian migrant community who choose to live here. Its the third largest city in Australia, next to Melbourn and a lot quieter when comparing to Sydney.

I think among the graffiters, they have some mutual respect to each others work, if the painting is good, others would leave it alone. So now even some private owner engage the graffiti painter to paint on their garage door so it won't get tagged with ugly signs. ) D2 D h, ~- L8 h ]/ ^$ }$ L9 N4 ?I suppose it is one way of solving the problem.

Yes, the graffiti painters who were engaged by the local council or private owners do get paid a small amount of money to do the work.TVBNOW 含有熱門話題,最新最快電視,軟體,遊戲,電影,動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。2 Y/ v: l6 A: Y( h( Q) C& U1 M
and No, they are not an organised gang, most of them are teenagers who are bored, some with better artistic skill than others, and most of them do grow out of it. For the ones who are engaged to do the painting, its more for their personal pride than the monetary gain.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb/ W1 E: Y; T8 c( C% q/ a

There are still a lot of tagging on old building walls and bus shelters though, it does cost the tax payer a lot money to have them cleaned. By the way, those who are caught doing graffiti, they are usually charged and ordered to do the cleaning up themselves.作者: bchew 時間: 2010-4-30 10:00 AM

The sculpture was done by an artest called Cezary Stulgis who studied in both the Brisbane University of Technology and Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts, Faculty of Sculpture, Krakow, Poland. : i: z$ Y: O$ W. R p# |; @tvb now,tvbnow,bttvbThe sculpture is actually a dog and the tree trunk in his backpack represents the last tree on earth, and there is a large square hole though the torso only visible from the front and back, containing a ball. The ball represents the life force or energy. www3.tvboxnow.com2 b3 c+ C$ [2 ]
