Old Gold

Graf Art and Street Art & Murals were around for awhile before I clued in.

Quite often I find untagged pieces 10 years or older.

Paint peeling, colors fading and bricks flaking, they reveal recent urban histories.

I admit I enhanced this one.

I believe it’s worth documenting.

So begins my “Old Gold” series of Bits, Pieces and Murals that exceed a decade.

Layin Down Tracks

On April 11, 2014 By ResaIn Murals, Street Art28 Comments

MURAL OF THE YEAR 2004 -190 Disraeli Freeway – Another Charlie Johnson masterpiece, this clever mural wraps around 3 sides of a ginormous building.

Artist(s): Sarah Johnston, Charlie Johnston (C5 Artworks)

However, the MIXER, pictured above, needs sound tracks before he can mix tracks. So wrap around to the opposite end wall of the building where THE SINGER lays down her tracks.

Then THE HARMONICA PLAYER

.. lays tracks just before the mural

Wraps around the corner to the lengthy front face of the building where we find,

THE GUITARIST

BACK UP SINGERS

BASS PLAYER

DRUMMER

SAXAPHONE

KEYBOARDS

I said it was ginormous!

There’s this little outcrop with a BANJO DUDE

Then we arrive back at the end wall where the mix happens.

Guess these are the young wanna be Rock Stars!

The Yamaha Center on Portage Avenue, Winnipeg. Painted in 2004, it is a magic mural!

I was in Winnipeg end of the year in 2012, and shot 127 murals. I am headed back for another visit, and will shoot more murals. I’ve only posted 64 of the original 127, but hey, it’s nice to have extras!

Best I could do on a long shot with a pedestrian camera, and 8 lanes of vicious Winnipeg traffic between the Mural and I.

Found him in all his fierceness off Dundas St. W. near Dufferin.

Starts out with some Graf Writing,

then into what I’m calling Super Blue, I’m glad to be corrected on that should anyone know.

Forever on the Street

On April 7, 2014 By ResaIn Graffiti Art, Slideshow, Street Art2 Comments

Forever looks like a temporary bit at McCaul and Dundas St. W.

I’m pretty sure it’s not commissioned, and will be painted over soon.

I doubt that her girlfriend around the corner is commissioned….

….but, who knows?

I just love these 2 girls on the street bits!

Aquarius, Phoenix & Dragon

This 20 meter (65 foot) long mural is on an old apartment building. Located along a very narrow pathway, I found it impossible to capture it in it’s entirety.

It starts with a woman bearing water. Beside her is a phoenix. There is then a door that looks like it’s from Tarot Cards. The center section is a puffy abstract followed by a second Tarot door….

…then enter the Dragon!
