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.

Boogapony Holly

I found this in an alley, & it made me think of Holly from House Of Heart

Artist: Nicolas Canon

I sent a pic to Holly and asked, “Does this look like you?” She answered positively yes, then mentioned something about ducking lightening.

Artist: Resa

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.

Artist: Nicolas Canon

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.

It was -20C. I had an errand by Graffiti Alley. I said don’t go into the alley!

Artist: Nicolas Canon

I couldn’t control myself. It was rutted ice and snow. I walked in the ruts.

Artist: Nicolas Canon

Even if there was nothing new, look how gorgeous the alley is! There is miles of painted alleys & lanes.

Artist: Nicolas Canon

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!

Artist: Nicolas Canon

I wore fingerless gloves & wow, whew, thaw time was required.
