I would love to know where the site is for this project so that I can come have a look at it. I am currently researching graffiti for my Art history Honours degree. I am looking at wether or not graffiti can be classified as a public art form and this project would be amazing to look at. I would also love to know what graffiti artist think of their art form and if they think graffiti is a public art form or merely a self expression for an individual person.

Despite tough critique in my formal education I have managed to persevere while writing extensively on similar topics, let me know if your ever up for extra reading! peace from Miami!

Well, that's what he told me anyway. I don't think he did when I moved there... The Fly with wings painted on the school building is something I really regret never taking a photo of.

I moved there in early 1983 when I was at Kowhai Intermediate. I remember Fly - I mean, I didn't know him, but everyone at school was in awe of his talents, and I would look forward to him doing new pieces in the neighbourhood. Made me all nostalgic to read this. Nice piece of social history. ZOMG, that’s my street! I moved there in early 1983 when I was at Kowhai Intermediate.

I have some crazy memories of Don Croot. When we lived on Levonia St, fresh from Palmy we walked up Don Croot to Sima's Superette when the Levonia Store was closed. I mean I'm sure it wasn't THAT bad but my little 5 year old memories are of kids running half naked in the street, snotty nosed, a couple of burnt out cars stray dogs, the whole nine haha! I apparently told my mum never to take me down that street again haha! But yeah, a few years later and that was the stomps. I had a lot of friends on that street and looking back it was amazing to think that some of them lived with as many as 3 generations of family crowded into a 1-2 bedroom flat. One mate of mine slept in a makeshift bed made out of a box under their staircase... I'm not kidding! School Road and Fourth Ave were each as notorious in their own way. There were a couple of pretty insane murders on School Road, one that left one of our school friends as the only survivor in his family. That was crazy. School Road park was also pretty sketchy. A friend and I got rolled by some dudes with hammers when we were about 12ish. Actually, that park is still dodgy as... Oh yeah. I have some crazy memories of Don Croot.
