To celebrate the launch of .melbourne<\/a>, Australia’s first city web domain, Crazy Domains and live.melbourne<\/a> have collaborated to commission an original piece of stunning street art.<\/p>\n

From Everfresh Studio<\/a> in Melbourne, the Crazy Domains team recruited the skills of the talented Mr Makatron<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Makatron is known internationally for his surreal mashups of animals and the urban jungle, with nearly 7,000 people around the world following his Instagram<\/a> account.<\/p>\n

The mural’s location in Melbourne’s Collingwood suburb inspired Makatron to feature zebras, with the animal’s distinctive black-and-white markings matching the stripes of the famous footy team’s jumpers.<\/p>\n

But like any true Melburnian, Makatron’s zebras are colourful and full of life – and they stand out from the herd.<\/p>\n

Makatron’s love for Melbourne also stands out in his mural, with iconic landmarks from the world’s most liveable city making an appearance, including Flinder’s Street Station and the Eureka Tower.<\/p>\n

Check out below this time-lapse video of Makatron hard at work creating the tribute to .melbourne. If you\u2019re in Melbourne, find Makatron\u2019s masterpiece on the corner of Johnston and Campbell St.<\/p>\n

Melburnians can stand out from the .com herd with their own .melbourne web domains<\/a>: sign up here<\/a>, before they get away!<\/p>\n
