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

Artist: Kwest
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!

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.
