thats super coo...yo, cheers for the comment mate! <br /><br />thats super cool you designed the mural! im a massive fan of station art, and having been to every station on the network, it really makes you appreciate the stations with something aesthetic to look at while waiting on the platforms. it really gives the stations a personality i think. yeah, norman park is beautiful; yeronga is pretty good too, but corinda has its own personality, and i think it looks great as it is. were you approached to do the design or did you rock up to qld rail with the suggestion? pretty neat either way! wish i had some artistic skill. <br /><br />really cool info re the red lettering, im always up for learning new stuff about the railways (im clearly no expert, just a bogan who loves trains and train stations!) will have to check out the street level for sure! and will photograph accordingly of course. you will be pleased to know ive had to use this station a number of times since this entry was written, and have had a bit more of a chance to explore around it. the hardest part is getting shots without humans so that no one writes me an irate email about their unsolicited images appearing online or something. have had a number of interesting experiences at this station (all good, nothing too odd. a few breakdowns, but hey, i started writing a novel during one of them, still working on it today!)<br /><br />ive been a bit neglectful of the blog of late (not without reason, have graduated university and am completing my internship) but as soon as all that dies down and i get more spare time i can get back into the many half written entries i have in queue. ive kinda taken to instagram to satisfy my train fix to get me through in the meantime. hope the blog made you laugh a bit, and within the next few months check back every now and then, as i have more photos of each station i plan on adding to their corresponding entries. wulkuraka for example has had a major makeover and ive got photos that document most of its upgrade. <br />hopefully this blog becomes like a living collection of railway photos which constantly evolves and grows over time. ideally i would love to have an entry written for each station. ive certainly missed writing the stories about my journeys (yeerongpilly will be hilarious when it eventually gets published, just saying!) and i cant wait to share my hard drive worth of images with the rest of the world. <br /><br />if you need/want, feel free to use any of the images on here, im not that precious about my photos since im no professional. <br /><br />hopefully someday we can have more artwork around the network. im really pushing for it to be allowed in the rail corridors. for memory i think i had a bit of a rant about it in the toowong blog. would love to see the green corridors replaced with artwork from local artists, as we should be embracing our local talent, and i reckon it would save money from constantly paying people to repaint over the graffiti. that money could instead be channelled into station and network upgrades. would be fantastic. the world needs more colour and personality. nothing wrong with opening up sections of corridor wall during track closures for artists to come along with their own paint and create something worthwhile. anything is better than the cigarette box green! <br /><br />take care mate, and if you are involved in any other art projects, let me know, would be keen to check them out :)<br /><br />darth.darthcaligula666https://www.blogger.com/profile/16994495324419223906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704975054641975320.post-42898047922686117092016-05-20T13:19:42.742+10:002016-05-20T13:19:42.742+10:00Hello, I found your blog while I was searching for...Hello, I found your blog while I was searching for images of the Corinda station mural. I deisgned this mural. Im glad you like it, even if Norman Park is better! There are some other parts to the artwork up on street level. Maybe you can have a look next time you are train spotting out that way?<br />Just as an insight as to why the signs are not written in bright red lettering - red is not allowed across the platforms so that the red lights stand out for the train drivers. Hence no red in the mural designs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3704975054641975320.post-19734350701721246112014-10-12T16:13:48.068+10:002014-10-12T16:13:48.068+10:00Good on you Buddy =DGood on you Buddy =DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17383115768381118934noreply@blogger.com
