Last Sunday, bright and early, we headed down to Order Of Melbourne to watch all eight contestants for the next round of Melbournes Secret Walls paint up the stairwell. This years contestants comprise Rad, Hancock, Reliable, Jack Douglas, Eleven, Katie Houghton-Ward, Jessica Singh and Steve Cross – what a mix of talent!

Armed with only black and white paint, the artists got down to it, quickly blocking out their works and painting up a storm. If what went up the other day is any indication, this is going to be a fierce competition.

Follow on through the next page or two of photos for a whole heap of pics from the day … cut down from several hundred, mind you!
