Grapes Eyed Girl

Found this in the alley by “The Painted House”.

A house is being demolished, and artists were invited to paint it inside and out.

Of course I went, and shot lots of great art.

I will be featuring some of the art, and possibly an overview in the coming weeks, in between other art posts.

“The Painted House” will be closed and torn down after the weekend.

Thank you May, for the tip.

I was sad because he was painting over the Metallica(ts) Mural

Artist: Kwest

He said the wall was crumbling, and the old mural with it.

Kwest told me he only signs a mural when it is finished. There is no signature as of now.

Lovebot Invasion

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!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

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

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.
