Elicser Elixser

It’s on a side wall, in a parking “slot”, north alley, Queen West between Spadina & University .

E #1

It was impossible to get a full shot. So, here’s the mural in pieces & car reflections, working left to right:

E #2

Ahh, a nice mesh gate at the start of the mural. It was about 2 meters between a car, and the wall behind me.

E #4

Elicser usually signs his work, but there were cars blocking the bottom, and any signature was lost to me.

E #3

If it’s not Elicser, I’d love to be corrected

E #6

E #7

E #9

E #10

E #11

This is the best I could get of the mural in its entirety.

E #12

The Road to Valour

To all my American friends: I know this is a Canadian mural, however, I believe it imparts a spirit of honor meant for all Vets.

The Cat’s Meow

Direct to you, from an alley in “Cabbagetown”, Toronto,  I proudly present “CAT’S MEOW”

Meow #1

Okay, it’s a cat’s meow alley off Parliament near Gerrard (Cat’s tail signed: Tokyo).

Meow #2

As you see from 1 of the pics in the slideshow, there is a side piece involving birds. I’ll cover that later.

This sly blue face (featured in above slideshow) is right at the Parliament St. entrance to the alley. Gorgeous, or what?

I ♥ Banksy – because of “My Month With Banksy: October 2013 In NYC” by Jacqueline Hadel – Plato

What is that?

It’s “MY MONTH WITH BANKSY: OCTOBER 2013 IN NYC” by: Jacqueline Hadel. If you’re a fan or lover, it’s a must buy  Here On Amazon

Artist: Banksy (unofficial)
Artist: Banksy

After reading Jacqueline’s book, I did some research. Banksy had been (unofficially)  in Toronto in 2010. Sadly only 1 of 7 pieces remains, and it’s in this gated private parking.

Banksy #1b

As I peered through the chain link, I saw the Banksy had been covered in plexiglass, and bordered with steel and rivets.

Banksy #2

Also noticeable was that someone had attempted to pry the metal border away. (lower right)

Banksy #6b

The plastic has been tagged, cleaned, tagged with scratchiti , and then more paint. Nonetheless, it survives!

Banksy #4b

The other 6 Banksy’s were tagged to death, torn down, painted over…one (on the back of a sign) just disappeared.

Banksy #5b

Aww, the gate was unlocked, so I just went in for a few shots of the Banksy w/ Jacqueline’s book.

Banksy #10

The book is like a diary, going day by day through her month with Banksy.

Thanks, Jacqueline, it’s a very fabulous book!
