Crate People, Crate Men, Crate Man
| Travelling
on the train in Melbourne, Australia, I saw a
new form of street art which I thought was really very innovative and
clever. It was my first introduction the Crate Man. Crate Men had
started springing up and, for the moment, this
seems to be something which is unique to Melbourne.
This
site is
dedicated to the Crate Man, I hope you enjoy the images.

A
word about where these pictures come from
Some
of
these photos are my own, and some were sourced form
other places on the internet. I've included links back to the places
where I found the original images, so that the original photographers
are recognised. I'm not trying to rip off the work of others,
if you are the owner of the photo and feel you haven't been
represented correctly, or you would like an image removed, there's an
email address below.
You
will see
the link to the original sites when you click on one of
the thumbnails to open the larger version of the picture.
Some
other Crate Man info
A local newspaper
recently had an article about a
Crate Man on someone's balcony,
published 2nd August, 2010. Those of us who have followed Crate Man for
a while will recognise the Crate Man on the balcony as the "Smoking
Crate Man" with the afro hair, which first appeared in 2008. Great to
see he has a new home!
Read an interesting article in "The Age",
published 25th January, 2009 about Crate Men. Thanks to the reporter
(Suzy) for publishing a link in to this site.

The
Artists
I've
had many questions about the artists who create the Crate Man works.
I'm sorry - I don't know who the artists are. I guess it adds to the
mystery of Crate Man.
If you have
Crate Men pictures, sightings or information, email perry at
cratemen.com (make the necessary substitution), or visit
