There’s a fun Lego-like quality to these large-scale milk crate artworks seen around Melbourne. They are created by the mysterious Sam, Jerome, Ed and Gab. Located near freeways and train lines, these works play with the everyday experiences of passing commuters. I like public art that subverts built forms, and art that can make you smile is even better (I mean Crate Tetris on a freeway noise wall is funny!) . This is just one of the many street art works (both legal and illegal) featured on the hip Wooster Collective.

These look really good. I can think of lots of bare walls along train lines in Brisbane that “need” some of these.
I guess we’ll just have to start floggin milk crates.
Anyone know how we contact these guys? I have a request…
Couldn’t find anything online about the artists…but crate man is still having great adventures
