In The Pink

West of Dufferin Street, south of Queen W. W. is this gorgeous pink Graffiti Art in an alley.

Pink #1

I wonder if this Artist had anything to do with a Post I did titled WOW.

Pink #5

I wonder if “BoxStars” or …TVC BSM… or the words I can’t quite read is/are the Artist(s)? Anyway, here’s some of what I shot.

Polar #1

It’s is amazing how many pics I could take from this wonderful Mural, small as it is.

Planting trees, shrubs and bushes in front of Murals seems to be the thing to do.

Hmm, maybe it’s the other way around. If there’s a tree, shrub or bush let’s paint a Mural behind it!

It was a fabulous experience to see this unnamed Mural up close. Here’s a what I got.

Before I finish posting the Winnipeg Mural1812 – I’m posting these (not my best pics, but very interesting) of Canada’s largest Graffiti Mural. Ann from Ann Graphics is doing a paper on Graffiti and would like to see a few of the shots I’ve taken.

TWELVE
TWELVE

Please know that most of the time I am shooting across a ginormous section of tracks, and half the time I’m shooting into a blazing sun. I’ve got hundreds of yucky pics.

So, for Ann and the rest of you, here’s a quick tour via Slideshow. Each pic is numbered below itself to correspond with my commentary.

ONE – This panting is at the top of the beginning of the commissioned murals.

TWO – The view directly across the rails from ONE, which is Graffiti not commissioned by the city, but may be paid for the the private property it graces.

THREE – SIX is looking to the left, where you can see a decade of rogue graffiti. This is just the tip of the graffiti ice-berg Toronto is trying to get rid of. I’ve recognized at least one of the tag artists as part of the ensemble hired to do the Graffiti Mural.

SEVEN – I’ve gone a half block north to Queen Street in order to cross East under the tracks so I can view from the other side.

EIGHT – TWELVE are views of the reclaiming project on the sound wall.

THIRTEEN – At the south end I go West under the King Street tracks to view the project from the south end. I will be going back to finish my work!
