Voracious Tags Devour Mini-Mural

In the West end … on Dundas or College was this small mural done by students.

Then the taggers came.

Yet, I tried to get the best captures I could.

Unfortunately, I re-returned to find  the tagging had swallowed the piece. Lousy knaves!

    1. I know.. Taggers have ruined many more fab pieces than this.
      Out and about today, my heart was broken by their devastation.
      It seems now that we have nice weather, they (the taggers) are more destructive than ever.
      Q- Thank you for weighing in! Resa xo

      1. hey since i know u like to lewk at on da wall art check out my friend sixpixx post it today frum london, u might appreciate 🙂 take care 🙂 Q

        1. Was over to your site, I couldn’t find sixpixx,. I cold have missed something.
          I found stuff Googling sipixx, but I don’t know if it’s the right one?

        1. Tagging is against the law.
          Maybe that’s what makes it fun?
          Well, the main thing for me is I’m photographing as much ephemeral art as I can, before it’s gone.
          It’s not just taggers, it’s urban renewal,… building is demolished.
          Or someone paints another amazing piece on top of the last one… a bittersweet deal.
          I started a page on this blog – R.I.P. – to document street art that is now gone! 😎
          You are very sweet to care!

    1. I agree with the idea of impermanence. I suppose that’s why the ephemeral outdoor art is so appealing.
      I started a page – R.I.P. where I list/show art that’s gone. 🙂 “lol” Guess I’m trying to get it to last a bit longer!
