GRAFFITI ARTISTS GO TOE-TO-TOE

It may be called 'street art', but as far as we can tell, back alleys and abandoned train-yards are hardly the high road. Maybe it's just artists being abstract...you never know. Anyway, Red Bull's set about bringing the world of graffiti into the open with their Wreckers Yard, throwing down the spray-canned gauntlet to artists from Australia and New Zealand. Battle it out in public, around the two countries, and you may very well end up with the ultimate warrior tag - and $1,000 of cold hard cash, and kudos, in your back pocket. The event kicks off in Melbourne May 21st, jump through below for more.
