Monday Mural - Subiaco Murals

If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you; 

just follow the Linky steps below.  Once you start looking you find murals everywhere.  
Be sure to link back to this blog and visit your fellow posters.  Looking forward to your mural finds posted this week.   Monday mural meme is posted at 12,01am Monday, Western Australian time. Thanks, Sami. 

Going through photo files from 2018, and I came across quite a few murals I hadn't yet posted, all taken in Subiaco, an inner city suburb just 3km west of the Perth Central Business District.. 
The following two were painted by artist Stormie Mills, who was born in Wales but has lived in Perth since the age of 3. He always paints these weird looking people.





This "Footsie monster" unfortunately has no artist name.


And the electrical box on one of the street corners was painted green with lots of different Cactuses.

  1. The little people are indeed strange looking, but cute. I really like the cacti on that electrical box. You found some great ones this week.

    Looks like Bleubeard didn't want to share his name with me this week (grin).

  4. The international utility-box-painting habit is getting more and more interesting. I like your choice for this week, and I also like your funny little man in the wall paintings.

    be well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com

  20. Those characters in the Stormie Mills murals look so familiar to me. Like I've seen them before maybe on greeting cards. Love the cactus!

    1. Probably, I know he paints small canvas too, so he probably does greeting cards too.
      Thanks Sharon

    1. They are slightly odd indeed Linda, although the artist has nicer murals here in Perth.

    1. From the drawing under the word Faults, I think these boxes control the traffic lights in the area. So if something is wrong people can phone that number to report the problem.

  25. The "Footsie Monster" is great :)

    All the best Jan
