A brilliant example for this street art boom in Brisbane is the new stencil artwork by **Above**, who recently [informed my fellow RJ](http://blog.vandalog.com/2011/01/above-in-brisbane/) that he *“decided to immediately fly from Sydney to Brisbane to make this site specific stencil”*. The stencil shows Noah’s ark as well as an elephant and a giraffe sinking! Above said: > I tried my best not to make fun at this drastic and horrific situation but instead to empathize and portray just how serious and large the scale of these floods had been with the relative depiction of Noah’s ark being sunk due to the floods.
