East of Dufferin Street, south of Queen W. W. is a piece of alley marked by a Goldfish on the corner of a parking lot.
From the end of the alley, walking back to the Goldfish it looks like:
Then we pass Goldfish Alley Stars from the other way.
Then there’s this tasty piece after the Stars with a Graf doorway in between.
Then 2 other street bits.
…And we are back at Goldfish Corner

In my previous Post:
East of Dufferin Street, south of Queen W. W. is a piece of alley marked by a Goldfish on the corner of a parking lot. REFLECTED GRAF documents this lot.
Here’s three slices of the North side of Goldfish corner alley. It’s got nothing to do with fish.
I’ll try to tie the entirety of this section of alley up tomorrow!

East of Dufferin Street, south of Queen W. W. is this corner piece that marks the alley.
It’s right around the alley corner of the parking lot from an earlier Post : REFLECTED GRAF
Wait until you see the rest of the alley! It’s got nothing to do with fish.
I’ll show you some tomorrow!

Here’s the rest of what I found in Loblaws’ parking lot!
I know it’s dizzying, but I found myself angling my camera for the sake of the reflection.
The pic above is so fabulous that I had to start my Post with it, even though it’s near the end of the Graffiti. So let me back up, and start at the beginning.
I came out of the LLBO. I spotted the Graf and cars at the far end of the lot, and began shaking.
The ginormous lot is on the east side of Dundas West between Bloor and Roncesvalles.
I was thrilled to find a red car in reflection position.
It looks so different reflected in red, quite stunning in its own right.
The cars were all clean and shiny!
The graffiti colours are intense, perfect for reflections.
I know, it’s hard to beat the drama of a shiny black vehicle.
I tried to get a shot of the Graffiti art from the other side, but I was sqinched into a corner with limited positioning.
Funny how companies, not people paint these things sometimes!

Look what I found in a corner of Loblaws parking lot!
I don’t have time to show it all now, and yes, I am a glutton for reflected graf! I’ll do a post on the whole deal later. Promise!
I’m only about 200 Posts behind!

This fun piece is in the main alley south of Queen W., almost at Bathurst.
I love the colours!
I love the way taggers can’t leave a good piece alone, not.
It’s a long running piece, and it’s painted through an indent, so it’s challenging to capture.

This is the first book I’ve ever bought about “Street Art” and I just love it!
I bought my copy on Amazon.com
It’s by Jaqueline Hadel and her site TOKIDOKI is a “Street Art” lovers paradise.
Of course I’ve been through my book 15 (maybe more) times already.
It’s a little documentary gem. How different the social and political climate is in Bogota from Toronto. Yes, we do have some gritty graffiti art in Toronto. However, by comparison to the Street Art in Bogota, the Street Art here is very tame, candy at times.
Even the colourful influence of Native Art never pushes the Graffiti Art of Bogota into the bourgeois.
I took some very enjoyable time out to peruse Jacqueline’s prolific collection of Bogota Street Art on TOKIDOKI. I wanted to pick out a few fav pics that weren’t in the book.
If you want to know what the author has chosen, you’ll have to buy “Bogota Street Art”.
All pics in the book are on her site.
This is the author’s first book, and serves as a trial run for future publi-cations.
Hopefully there will be a second book, and according to Jacqueline, if so, the next book will be all unpublished pics!
In her acknowledgements there is a line:
“…I couldn’t (and after long, didn’t want to) walk down a street that wasn’t decorated in some way by graffiti.”
I know exactly how Jacqueline feels.
I was so excited when my copy of “Bogota Street Art” arrived that I took it for a walk.
Congratulations, Jacqueline! Your book is forty pages of beautifully shot intrigue!
