Melbourne is regarded by those in the know as the stencil capital of the world. In a select number of the city's lanes, couples have their wedding photos taken in front of the huge murals and stencils, many of the local shop and cafe owners support the artists, and the lanes themselves are listed in guide books.
One of the best known of Melbourne's street artists is Ha Ha, whose trademarks include robot stencils and the monochrome face of Ned Kelly. Vexta has a background in printmaking and has been creating stencil work since 2002. Both are profiled in a new book on Melbourne's street culture.
