About Fitzroyalty

Fitzroyalty - a hyperlocal blog about Melbourne’s first suburb: Fitzroy 3065 - began in May 2006. It is a local blog for local people; we'll have no shouting here!

It features posts on the suburb of Fitzroy in Melbourne, Australia, and reflections on life from a socially libertarian, economically socialist, culturally anarchistic and radically individualistic point of view.

On Sunday 10 August I went to one of the free events on the 2008 Stencil Festival program - a walking tour of various street art sites in Melbourne led by Fitzroy Library’s Amanda and well known local artist Deb. The event was worth attending because the participants learned a lot from Deb about how street artists do their work.

Deb and Amanda started the tour by leading the group of 30-40 people from the Fitzroy Library past the Whitlam Park project on the corner of Napier St and Moor St (opposite the Library) to the works on the corner of Napier and St David Streets.

I agree with this Argyle St commenter completely. I am so sick of whinging pathetic junkies and having to deal with petty crime on the streets of Fitzroy. But I also love living here. There are no simple answers…

The war in Iraq is one of the hot topics in stencil art on the streets of Fitzroy. I particularly like the more obtuse ‘emotion vs reason’ piece.
