I'm a big fan of the Frankston Football Club so excuse the occassional "off topic" toot from this account but frustrating to read there are off-field shenanigans (fraud and toxicity) after the stellar on-field performance of the club the last two years.

In #Frankston with a smart 2-minute change at the same platform to the #StonyPointLine, a single-track diesel line to the southern coast. The old Sprinter units are now used only here and on the broad-gauge line to Seymour.
From Stony Point you can get with a small ferry to FrenchIsland and #PhillipIsland, the latter famous for its beaches and wildlife parks.

24 Times SMUG Made Walls Look More Real Than Life
In Glasgow, Scotland. I’ve always been drawn to SMUG’s art—there’s just something amazing about how he brings everyday faces to life on such a massive scale. Known worldwide for his super-realistic portraits, SMUG’s murals are incredibly detailed and often tower up to 14 stories high! His work isn’t just impressive; it’s a mix of creativity and skill, with each piece telling its own story through light, shadow, and careful detail. When SMUG starts a mural, he’s not just […]https://streetartutopia.com/2025/04/01/by-smug-a-collection-2/

A walk on the beach at dusk. After the heat of the day this is a great place for a walk - with no holiday crowds! Frankston beach, near the pier.
Definitely Summer holiday weather - warm and humid, with showers and storms every few days! Just like Christmas.

I volunteered at the Frankston Festival of Lights. Was proud to see so many free activities for families with young children. A mostly free event that spread just a little joy in a very tough time. #frankston #MelbourneAustralia

24 Murals By SMUG!
I’ve always been drawn to SMUG’s art—there’s just something amazing about how he brings everyday faces to life on such a massive scale.
Known worldwide for his super-realistic portraits, SMUG’s murals are incredibly detailed and often tower up to 14 stories high! His work isn’t just impressive; it’s a mix of creativity and skill, with each piece telling its own story through light, shadow, and careful detail.
When SMUG starts a mural, he’s not just copying a photo; he’s adapting to the wall in front of him. Every wall, with its own texture and quirks, becomes part of the artwork. Seeing him turn these challenges into part of the art is what makes his work so incredible.

Photo by @thedreadedcatstudiosIn Wirrabara, South Australia.
SMUG: Wirrabara, South Australia. One of my most challenging murals to date. I can’t imagine anyone actually enjoys painting 30m tall murals on a curved surface but, contrary to just about everything I said when I finally finished this, I’m kind of keen to do another one! Haha! I love rural Australia and really regret that I didn’t have more time to spend there to fully appreciate it.

In Leicester, UK at Bring The Paint Street Art Festival.

In Karlstad, Sweden for Artscape.
SMUG: One of the most absorbant walls I’ve ever worked on so I killed A LOT of cans on this one and spent a couple of days longer than I wanted to on it.

17
At Wonderwalls Festival in Wollongong, Australia.
SMUG: It was a real push to finish this one. Ended up only having 3 days after the local authorities threw their weight around trying to stop us. Plus for a Sunday sunset haired dude like me it was freaking hot as all hell!
18
In North Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.
SMUG: Painting the local legend Cam, who drops knowledge on everyone and carves these beautiful heart brooches for the women of Hobart to help them fall in love with him. Not my usual color palette but had a lot of fun painting this one.

Photo by @fredrikakerbergPhoto by @fredrikakerbergPhoto by @fredrikakerbergMural in Partille, Göteborg for Artscape.
SMUG: My wall for this years Artscape project in Partille, Göteborg. This year we were given a folk tale to base our murals on and I was given the tale of Revontulet. In the Finnish origin story of the Aurora Borealis a firefox wins favor of the villagers by igniting the sky with the Northern Lights to help a lost hiker find his way in the icy woods. This is now the tallest mural in Sweden and whispers are saying the tallest in Scandinavia.

Mural paying tribute to farmers by Smug in Lameroo, Australia for Lameroo Silo Art. Curated by Juddy Roller.
Lameroo Silo Art: The incredible Lameroo Silo Art Project is officially completed on the Eastern Viterra Silo, in Lameroo, South Australia. The mural was completed in just 3 weeks, by the extraordinarily talented Sam ‘SMUG’ Bates, at the heels of art curators Juddy Roller! This artwork beautifully reflects Lameroo’s rich farming routes, paying tribute to the resilience of our pioneering farmers, in establishing life and livelihood. The picture aims to capture the essence of the Mallee farmer—a symbolic representation of unwavering spirit and hope, which is still alive in our community today.

By SMUG in Glasgow, Scotland. Photos by Gordon Terris.
In collaboration with the Govan Housing Association in honour of its 50th anniversary, inspired by the Govan-born ‘Daffodil King’, Peter Barr. Barr is credited with bringing the daffodil back into fashion in the late 1800s, and the Memorial Cup is given out each year to those who follow in his footsteps and advance the standing of daffodils.
