Lovebot Invasion

On By ResaIn Alley Gallery, Graffiti Art, Street Art21 Comments

They’re Lovebots, they’re “paste ups”, and they are all over Toronto.

Lbot #1

Here’s a 7′ (2.13 m) Lovebot with his 2′ (.61 m) mini-mebot.

Lbot #2

Mini-mebot hangs with the bike.

Lbot #3

This 7′ (2.13 m) Lovebot is cool….

Lbot #4

…. hanging out on the parking lot wall of  Stones Rhino.

Lbot #5

Lovebots can be quite sneaky….

Lbot #6

… hanging out lower down with greenery….

Lbot #7

… or running away below the brick.

Lbot #8

Yeah, there’s bad-boy Lovebots. Their insistence on being pasted-up in the ally can lead to urban scars.

Lbot #9

This Lovebot covers the black that covers Phoenix Queen  I believe it was painted by Shellac Attack. I met the artist during the painting of Phoenix Queen  .

Lbot #10

Tagger got Lovebots face.

Lbot #11

I FOUND A CINDER-BLOCK LOVEBOT!

Lbot #13b

Good glue!

Elicser Underpass

Elicser, one of my fave street artists in Toronto, did an underpass mural this year.

Artist: Elicser

On Bathurst at Dupont, I start with the East wall. I’m saving the west wall for the second post on this graf mural, as I love it much better than this side.

Artist: Elicser

As shown in the slideshow, 11 distinct pieces make their way to the other end.

On By ResaIn Graffiti Art, Graffiti Mural, Street Art28 Comments

Traditional or not, it’s a feast. You’ve got popcorn, pizza and bacon.

TG #1

i see fried eggs, hamburgers, french-fries, bagels, hot dogs and drumsticks.

TG #2

I see ice-cream cones, donuts and … that’s dessert! Enough food!

TG #3

Whatever you eat on this Canadian Thanksgiving, be thankful you’re eating & for anything else you can think of!

Birdo & Wales Prairie Girl Graf Mural

On By ResaIn Birdo, Wales18 Comments

Okay, here is Birdo’s bird.

BirdoWales #3

Here’s the entire Graf Mural that “Prairie Girl” is part of. You will notice the birdo is wearing a Chief’s Bonnet as well!BirdoWales #2

I put the slideshow in order starting with the graf writing at the beginning (extreme left). The close-up of the “birdo head” is quite cool.

I’m ending this post with a shot of “Prairie Girl” that was not in the last post because if it wasn’t for her I would not have been so daring to capture all of this.

Prairie Girl

On By ResaIn Graffiti Mural, Street Art22 Comments

I climbed a fire escape, hoisted myself up to a roof next door,  deeked electrical wires & crossed 2 flat roofs.

Prairie Girl #1

She’s not perfect, but she’s worth the risk! I cannot believe I did this w/o Sherrie. I was dizzy the entire time.

Prairie Girl #2

Prairie Girl #3

She’s part of a graf mural, the best part.

Prairie Girl #4

It’s by Birdo and Wales. I guess she’s more Wales, but who knows because Birdo paints faces.  I’ve just never seen a Birdo  girl’s face except in Welcome to the Alley , which is Birdo and Wales, again.

Prairie Girl #5

Prairie Girl #5b

Fill in the blanks.. SE…

Prairie Girl #6

I’ll finish the insanity next post.
