At the time the mural was created, there was a raised garden bed against the wall of the building and the shrubs planted there partially obscured the bottom section, which initially featured a painted collage of a group of people. The council cleared the vegetation soon after and the lower part of the mural soon began to be defaced, notably with racist graffiti, which Aiken and Pryor quickly painted over, sometimes with anti-racist slogans. Frustrated by criticism of the mural by Marrickville Council's Community Arts Officer of the time, Aiken then over-painted the figures with a quotation from the officer ("Murals are no longer a valid art form") in large white Gothic lettering. He subsequently repainted the entire bottom section with a Newtown "Declaration of Independence" that featured a large blank space and the invitation "Sign here". At some point after this was painted, the council removed the garden bed and the declaration was in turn replaced with the design that is still in place, a large representation of the <a href="/wiki/Aboriginal_flag" class="mw-redirect" title="Aboriginal flag">Aboriginal flag</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-photosau.com.au_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-photosau.com.au-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <b>Last Supper Mural</b> on King Street is located opposite the intersection of Church Street.

Many striking graffiti works can be seen on the various factory and warehouse walls along Gladstone Street, Wilford Street, Wilford Lane, Thurnby Lane and Phillip Lane. Some murals in this area have remained intact for several years while others typically last for only short periods before being tagged or overpainted. </p><p>Some of the most stylistically distinctive graffiti art works to appear in the Newtown area in recent times are the striking creations by the artist who signs his work "EMÖS". These highly intricate, semi-abstract bio-mechanical designs, executed by hand with spray paint, are all sited along Phillip Lane, behind Enmore Road; some are still visible in June 2007, although inevitably they are being progressively covered by the work of other graffiti artists, and the two examples, shown above second from left and centre, haves now been painted over. However, a number of similarly styled works by other artists, shown below, have appeared along Phillip Lane in recent weeks. </p><p>A piece of graffiti on or near Bedford Street (next to the railway line), which says "Cut me a line / of poetry, man." has been attributed to well-known local poet Benito Di Fonzo. People have claimed that he scribbled the piece to impress his then-girlfriend, local artist Joanne Patricia Shand (aka. Jo Jo Rona).

By the 1940s the cemetery was overgrown. In 1946 local girl Joan Norma Ginn was murdered and her body dumped in the cemetery, where it remained for several days before being found. This prompted action by the local council, which resulted in all but four acres being cleared and resumed as public space. An Act of Parliament in 1948 established the Camperdown Memorial Rest Park, under control of the local council. As a result, most of the gravestones were taken up and placed around the inside of the sandstone wall, although the graves were not disturbed and the depressions that mark their locations are still discernible. </p><p>Much of the graffiti on the wall around the church is brush-painted or spray-painted, and many are politically oriented slogans, although some stencil graffiti has appeared in recent times, and a number of striking large-scale mural works have been painted on walls and fences surrounding the park. </p><p>Although most of the graffiti is relatively recent, some examples have survived for many years. One venerable piece of brush-painted graffiti (above, second from left), which can be reliably dated to the mid-1970s and which is still partially visible, is the political slogan, "Is Frazer (sic) controlling your bowels?"—a reference to controversial 1970s Liberal Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/Malcolm_Fraser" title="Malcolm Fraser">Malcolm Fraser</a>.

This development reflects the growing popularity of this style in many international cities, and particularly in <a href="/wiki/Melbourne,_Victoria" class="mw-redirect" title="Melbourne, Victoria">Melbourne, Victoria</a>. </p><p>For about a decade years (ca. 2006–2016), the most notable location for stencil art in the Newtown area was the outer wall of the triangular property on the corner of Gladstone St and Phillip St in Enmore. The owners allowed graffiti to be applied as long as it was stencil art and from 2006 onwards dozens of stencil designs of all shapes and sizes were applied, and the collection grew. Artists on this wall included "KRAM", "Dam!", and "GlitaGirl". Ca. 2010 a plaster cast of a television and VCR (with the word "obsolescence" embossed on the screen) was installed on the footpath in front of the wall. The first version was vandalized and was soon replaced. In 2011, the stencil wall was completely over-painted with a large greyscale mural depicting the main foyer of the <a href="/wiki/Natural_History_Museum,_London" title="Natural History Museum, London">Natural History Museum</a> in London. This mural, and the adjacent "Australiens" mural in Gladstone St, which survived for several years, were both subsequently overpainted. The future of this section of Newtown/Enmore as a venue for street art has been affected by the 2016 demolition of the building that originally stood here to make way for an apartment complex. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Poster_or_'Paste_Up'/'Wheatpaste'_graffiti"><span id="Poster_or_.27Paste_Up.27.2F.27Wheatpaste.27_graffiti"></span>Poster or 'Paste Up'/'Wheatpaste' graffiti</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Newtown_area_graffiti_and_street_art&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Poster or 'Paste Up'/'Wheatpaste' graffiti"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Since the mid-2000s, innumerable examples of this new form of graphic street art have appeared in the Newtown area.

Around Newtown, many of these objects appear to have been created by the same artist, Will Coles, as a commentary on consumer culture.

These largest of these objects are the installations on King Street and on the corner of Gladstone Street, Enmore; both are full-scale replicas of a medium-size CRT television mounted on top of a replica VCR. The King Street object (now defaced by marker tags) is inscribed with the slogan "life is fleeting" and the Gladstone Street object with the word "obsolescence".

The TV itself is painted in a trompe l'oeil effect, apparently breaking through the brick wall of the house on which the mural is painted.
