Darlinghurst Blog: Street Art: Foley Street Lucky Washing Day

I only realised the importance of this street art piece the day after I spotted it on a grungy wall in the Foley Street laneway. It was like a secret message to me to be conscious of luck both good and bad, for the morning after, while walking to work, I very nearly walked under a ladder outside Kinselas at Taylor Square. I was halfway under it before I realised, quickly turned around and saved myself from a day of bad luck. 
My lucky escape could have had something to do with the fact that I put on two loads of washing before setting out that morning. Or it could have absolutely to do with nothing. Besides, I don't even have a washing line. And what is that atom bomb-style mushroom cloud in the back of the work?


Anyway, I wish you all a lucky washing day and a good weekend. 
I'm loving these summer-style blue-sky days during Sydney's winter and hope you do too, Violet xox

Darlinghurst: Street Art: Foley and Langley Streets

While short-cutting around the back-streets behind Oxford Street on the weekend, I came upon the most magical gallery of street art brightening the darkest parts of Foley and Langley streets. It started small and rough and then grew more sophisticated as I walked along. Here are a selection of the works in the order that I discovered them. If you want to visit this gallery for yourself, I have included a google map-link at the bottom of the post. Happy adventures . . .
