People always talk about Melbourne's labyrinth of decorated laneways, but none other than the legendary Barry McGee will be taking over the Sydney's alleys.

We posted about the City of Sydney's 'What If' project for the 10th anniversary of Art & About a few months ago. Now you can see your words displayed all around the city's streets in a celebration of creativity. There are heaps of other events that are going on for the month-long festival and you can read about all of them here. One of the ones that our boyish side is most excited about is definitely the Laneway Art Project. People always talk about Melbourne's labyrinth of decorated laneways, but none other than the legendary Barry McGee (otherwise known as 'Twist' to street art enthusiasts) will be taking over the city's alleys. Awesome! His work shown below (photo from here).
