Summer’s Sirens

It is, and has been very grey in Toronto since January 1.

Fortunately, I have this bright and beautiful garage door.

Vernal Equinox is nigh!

It’s a very tasteful tag on a garage door in Toronto.

It makes me think of Winnipeg.

..which is where I am now.

Kwest Reflect

On October 20, 2014 By ResaIn Alley Gallery, Graffiti Art, Graffiti Mural, Slideshow, Street Art8 Comments

I met Kwest while he was painting this. Nice guy!

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

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.

I’ll post an update when and if!

Lovebot Invasion

On October 17, 2014 By ResaIn Alley Gallery, Graffiti Art, Street Art21 Comments

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

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

Mini-mebot hangs with the bike.

This 7′ (2.13 m) Lovebot is cool….

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

Lovebots can be quite sneaky….

… hanging out lower down with greenery….

… or running away below the brick.

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

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 .

Tagger got Lovebots face.

I FOUND A CINDER-BLOCK LOVEBOT!

Good glue!

Happy Canadian Thanksgiving

On October 12, 2014 By ResaIn Graffiti Art, Graffiti Mural, Street Art28 Comments

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

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

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

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 October 8, 2014February 5, 2019 By ResaIn Birdo, Wales18 Comments

Okay, here is Birdo’s bird.

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!

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 October 7, 2014October 7, 2014 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.

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.

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

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.
