Big Picture Fest

Well Frankston is another city building its profile with art work. This is led by redevelopment of the station complex and builds on existing works.
I went down today to their Big Picture Fest  and amazed at the size of Frankston since we lived there in 1978. Parked the car (noting carefully where I had left it) and headed out tentatively and then asked  man on the street where I was, When I said where I wanted to go he knew of it and gave me clear directions. A few minutes walk through the shopping mall.
The first artist I came across was Zedr where there were a collection of very helpful maps!

Zedr at work 

Around the corner was Loretta Lizzio.
Seen her work in Benalla and she was Happy to have a chat!

This is Dvate  

Dvate's work was down a lane with a barrier so it was hard to get a clear picture, But again it was of birds Often endangered species. (Goorambat Silo Owl)

 There were also existing works marked on the map and this one called All The Green Year was by Brigitte Dawson and Melissa Turner

All the Green Year 

It was down a side lane with open one side.
What was unexpected was that all these works were un tagged!!

This piece (not listed ) was by Sheldon Headspeath in Beach Lane 

 This one was commissioned by the Gym that this is its back wall to stop tagging and graffiti, Its been there in this pristine state since early February

This is Tristan Kerr who's aid he can't draw so does geometric stuff 

 He had only just started and look like his piece which goes round the corner was to say  This Mayhem He's not in a cage just a wire fence!

The top artist of the Festival is Smug and this will be visible from the station I think 

 Sam bates know as Smug is an Australian street artist based in Glasgow.demonstrate a photo-realistic style.
Although I have not seen it he is the artist of 'Grandparents' the four-storey mural on the wall of the former power station on the corner of Lonsdale and Spencer streets,
