"now open"

more from the Kingsway mural. i'm not sure whether these doors are even useable any more, or even who they belong to.

lady

more from the Kingsway mural. whoever did this up certainly knew a thing or two about painting things on a wall.

personal note: i'll be in Tokyo for the next 10 days, so updates are on autopilot.

not-so-mobile phone

part of a large-ish mural in the Kingsway. more to come.

indoor mural

on the wall of my favourite local cafe, this lady looks awfully familiar. she's always there, patiently watching me in an almost motherly way, as i sip on my flat white or chow down on some good breakfast nosh.

the bakery mural

anyone who's driven through Newstead more than casually will be familiar with this mural on the side of a European-style bakery. it's definitely part of Launceston's cultural landscape - i remember it from when i first lived in Launceston in the 80s - however i have two points i'd like to bring up:

1) the guy on the left - presumably Bavarian, from the get-up - his face has always creeped me out slightly (qv. nose, cheekbones, chin)
2) the guy on the right - presumably the baker - looks an awful lot like the guy from the Curiosity Show
