Deow

<div>You will find this mural on the side of the Southside Dairy. Deow says, "When the ghost bird takes flight on the new moon, all Titi (motion bird), scamper from their islands and start their epic flight north. The girl symbolises the next generation to tell the tale of this Ngāi Tahu, Maori, legend".&nbsp;</div>

The Ghost Bird 

<div>You could say that this Tuatara reptile artwork has been painted by an old school sign writer and it probably was, it's a wonderful piece of urban art and well worth checking out. It's easy to see as it looks out over the main traffic roundabout in Invercargill. This is on the side of the Tuatara Backpackers building.</div>

Tuatara

Haser

<div>Haser a member of the world renowned graffiti crew TMD, has painted most of the BurgerFuel, burger restaurant, murals around NZ. You will find two site specific murals, one on the outside and one inside.&nbsp;</div>

Untitled

<div>Site specific for the Southland Racing Club at Ascot Park Racecourse.&nbsp;</div>

<div>This beautiful portrait sits in a carpark between two streets, Don Street and Esk Street, so it is slightly hidden. Walk through the Auction House building on Don Street, maybe having a coffee in the cafe as you do so, then look to your right in the carpark over the fence. This can also be seen by entering from Esk Street at the Auction House car park which is behind their building.&nbsp;</div>

Lauren

<div>Site specific mural shows an image of an old time classic car advertisement. "More power, more class, and loads of cool".</div>

<div>Deow is one of NZ's best known street artists who sticks to his graffiti roots, he is a full time artist and also a curator of festivals.<br>This work on the south facing wall of the Kelvin Hotel is NZ's largest mural at 33 metres. This piece shows the new and changing face of Invercargill and also the four seasons that are typical to experience on the same day in&nbsp;Southland. NZ's southern most city is embracing cultural diversity and Deow is showing this from the greyscale flowers being overwhelmed with colour. You can view this piece from Kelvin Street and Tay Street also the hotel carpark gives a better view of the gumboots.</div>

Mr G

<div>Graham Hoete aka Mr G has painted a tribute to Burt Munro a Kiwi motorcycle racer who was famous for setting a world speed record, at Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967 when he was 68yo. You will find this on the side of the Farmlands retail store.</div>

Burt Munro

<div>Painted by Deow and DFEKT. This daffodil mural was commissioned by the Cancer Society and is on the side of their building. The Daffodil is a very appropriate logo for them as this flower represents rebirth and new beginnings.</div>

Daffodil

<div>These two artworks are presently unnumbered on Canon Street but can be found around the Forth, Tyne or Eye Street area. It will be edited in ASAP. Turn onto Conon Street from Tay Street and look out for them, one is directly across the road from the other. The Shark is a permanent work and the other changes but is generally work by Deow who owns these streets and has graffiti pieces everywhere.&nbsp;</div>

<div>This laneway mural can be found on Barclay Lane on Esk Street, (in the first block of retail shops off Dee Street). Deow has painted native birds which is a subject he loves to paint. It is a low long mural along a laneway.</div>

Native birds

<div>Southland based artist Deow has painted this site specific mural on the side of the Scottish Hall in a carpark. It shows Robert the Bruce marching his Sottish army from Stirling Castle to the battlefields of Bannockburn.</div>

Robert the Bruce

<div>This anonymous Guy Fawkes mask graffiti piece is up an alleyway beside the Tuatara Backpackers. It has been respectfully living well on this wall for many years. You will also find some other graffiti artwork along this alley.</div>

Anonymous

<div>You will find this graffiti piece by Deow on a small concrete wall in the middle of a field close to the road. Both sides are covered. It is possible that Deow may change the imagery, if so it will be just as wonderful as the work shown here.&nbsp;</div>
