The guys at Watermark sent this around in their newsletter
” Graffiti artists in Australia are replacing the usual graffiti scrawl and have upgraded to ‘street art’ with the arrival of some unusual framed work on street walls.
Phillip spotted this unique artwork in Surry Hills and thinks it might be a piece by artist Philip James Frost who recently exhibited in the area. It’s painted onto a piece of pigskin (at least we think it’s pig skin “tan me hide when I’m Dead Fred!), framed and glued onto the wall with industrial adhesive.”
Betcha a few people have tried to get it off the wall to take home with them.

Interesting to see if just because it’s framed it will be considered “art” or graffiti. Shepard Fairey makes some good looking stuff but still gets arrested all the time. Even in the same city where his artwork hangs in museums. For me, I prefer Fairey. His work makes a statement. This other approach could lead to hotel room art, just on the outside of the hotel.
