Pic of the Week: Drawing a Crowd

July 15th 2009 03:00

Buskers tend to be quite physical and/or audible in order to attract attention if you think of the musicians, contortionists and jugglers. But not street artists like this guy.

I took this photo passing through Pitt Street Mall one weekend. It must have taken ages to replicate the painting. Pretty impressive, but he’s not the best busker I’ve seen.

I was coming out of one of those underground train stations in the city, and in the tunnel I was greeted by hearty strumming. It came from a young man hunched casually over his guitar. As soon as I put some money into his case, he burst into song (the tune was Sinead O’Connor’s Nothing Compares to You, but I think he might’ve changed the lyrics).

A living jukebox. Fabulous.

It's Raphael's Socrates and Plato, and it's amazing!
I'd pay good money for that.

Thanks Norm! I'd forgotten what it was called and had no idea how to even begin to search for it. Thank you for the link too!

The picture is brilliant, even copied, but the young man with his guitar really excited you, I can see and know how you feel.
