Smith and Gertrude Streets

Here's one from left field. Looks like the notorious Gray Ghost of New Orleans has struck in Melbourne. Only this time the table has turned.

The Gray Ghost of New Orleans usually covers up street art and 'graffiti' but this time the 'ghost' has hit what looks to be a legit billboard. Not sure what the billboard was but someone, possibly with a cheeky nod to the Gray Ghost, must not have liked it!

Can anyone solve this puzzle?

Is it art? A commentary on public transport

OK, so it might not be a artistic interpretation of the Melbourne public transport system - but if I took a better photo and hung it in a gallery you might believe me!

This was seen on the corner of Lonsdale and Elizabeth Streets.

Is it art?

Whether it's functional or not has nothing to do with it. There are so many things out there in the big city that could be classified as art. I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest that the good old rubbish bin can even be considered art.

Check out these two examples and tell me there is no artistic merit in the arrangement, composition and colour!?

I've decided I'm going to create a new series called "Is it art?" And the best bit is you get to decide!
