Herakut's Giant Storybook Project chronicles the creation of a new children’s book being created by the internationally-renowned street art duo. Launched in September 2012 and continuing through 2013, the project follows the artists as they introduce the story’s main character, Lily, in murals that they are painting around the world. If you’re in one of the cities where they're painting, you have GOT to check it out. Herakut brought Lily to Melbourne and introduced a new scene when they painted a mural at 639 Brunswick St Fitzroy North VIC 3068.  Our suggestion? Go and check it out... you won't be disappointed.]]> http://www.metrogallery.com.au/news/2013/02/herakut-the-giant-story-book-project-comes-to-melbourne/feed/ 0 Vandalog – A Street Art Blog » Dabs and Myla’s “All Good Things…” http://www.metrogallery.com.au/news/2013/02/vandalog-a-street-art-blog-dabs-and-mylas-all-good-things/ http://www.metrogallery.com.au/news/2013/02/vandalog-a-street-art-blog-dabs-and-mylas-all-good-things/#comments Fri, 22 Feb 2013 02:21:05 +0000 Admin http://www.metrogallery.com.au/news/?p=1630 Metro Flyer
