I’ll bet I do, but I can’t grow one! What’s a girl to do?
This piece is in a very narrow lane in Graffiti Alley. Did my best to capture the big picture..

Graf Artist Bacon w/ ?
It’s an old piece in a parking spot, in an alley in Cabbagetown.
I’m sure the graf writing says BACON. There’s more obscured by the trees.
So, 2 artists probably worked on this.
Cars might block some of the art, but the reflections can be wonderful.

One of the Artists:
Maybe Jarus is the other.
Boogapony Holly
I found this in an alley, & it made me think of Holly from House Of Heart
I sent a pic to Holly and asked, “Does this look like you?” She answered positively yes, then mentioned something about ducking lightening.
Then I muttered I should be doing graffiti tours in Toronto. Holly said she’d drive the bus. Well, one thing lead to another, and we formed the Boogapony Dancers.
Of course we would need the perfect outfit to dance in front of graffiti, street art and murals. We came up with the outfit you see here.
UNPLUGGED for acoustic music
PLUGGED for electric music

Elicser’s Subtle Changes
Elicser has been a fave of mine for years.
Faces and their expressions are a forte of his.
Posted in 2015, I’ve walked by this piece for a couple of years, now, but something seemed different from last time, so I took pics.
I was seeing a ghost,
… of what he had done previously.

It was -20C. I had an errand by Graffiti Alley. I said don’t go into the alley!
I couldn’t control myself. It was rutted ice and snow. I walked in the ruts.
Even if there was nothing new, look how gorgeous the alley is! There is miles of painted alleys & lanes.
I found 5 new pieces. It seems the artists kept going even after the cold set in. I’m so excited, I’m posting one now!
I wore fingerless gloves & wow, whew, thaw time was required.

Muisca Bird
This wonderfully colored bird kept its eye on me as I shot it.
It’s amazing what can be done on a garage door,
Then around the fence on the corner.
