“Unlike his anonymous counterpart Banksy, Australian street artist Peter Drew
has always been happy to own his vandalism.
Ten years after creating one of Australia's most recognisable street art
series, Drew is still spending his days plastering posters on brick walls and
decaying facades across the country.
"I know it's illegal, but I think the reason why I haven't been brought to
justice is that the posters are popular," he told
triple j hack.
"People don't want to prosecute me because they like them [the posters] and I
put them up in places where there are ugly walls all over the city."
Drew started the "Aussie" series in 2016 as a way of challenging assumptions
about Australia's national identity.
Last year, he announced he was revising the project in an effort "to fix
racism", adding five more pictures to the series.”
