Street Art Search Tool


I've added a search tool to the Dynamite Spot.

It is for all of my readers who are interested in street art, specifically NZ manifestations of it. If you're a local artist and want to see if your work is represented online, or from overseas and interested in the urban art of Aotearoa this will be a very helpful tool.

I used a pretty specific search string: "graffiti OR mural OR (art AND (urban OR stencil OR street OR sticker))"

This should enable you all to search by city or street even and find results (probably images) that are relevant. In addition to images you can search for written information on the topic, which could be handy if you are visiting and want to know whats up re. exhibitions or even legal issues. If some anti-graf legislators try to do here what has happened in Melbourne (The Graffiti Prevention Act 2007) it is helpful to know if you can be fined for carrying a can of spray paint!
