Old Faithfulls Brew Bar Street Art Mural – “Digger” Ryan – Wangaratta

Street Art. Wangaratta. It’s not the first place you’d think of for street art. But thanks to Tanya and David of Old Faithfulls Brew Bar it’s now very much a reality. I’m always excited when street art mural projects hit my inbox. I’m especially excited when they come from areas I have not yet been able to explore.

Old Faithfulls sits on the river in Wangaratta. The shutters wink at the courthouse across the road inviting its patrons to venture over and grab a brew, alcoholic or caffinated. Digger is now the star. He grins and toasts in his flannelette. The promise of a peaceful beverage without judgement awaits.

One of my best portraits to date. Painted over a chilled but not cold day in winter. But he’s not complaining and I’m not either. Here’s to you, Digger! Cheers!
