Hop Around the Hopper People

Along the Liberty Village trail, they are painting all of the old silos and hoppers.

This is a painted hopper.

It is beside a leather company, but I prefer to think “pleather”.

Very interesting faces!

The legs are interesting, too.

So what if this art is on an old wood garage with many flaws & dry rot?

Artist: Ted Hamer

It was a “Le Gasp” moment for me when I found it.

A woman, a tiger & a bird are one helluva gorgeous line-up!

A Funny Thing Happened when I Found the Mural

I heard about this Fox & Owl, in the Ossington alley.

Artists: Shalak Attack & Smoky Bruno

I knew where it had to be, so I went there. I came home, unsuccessful, but returned a few weeks later.

Artists: Shalak Attack & Smoky Bruno

I re -did the alley, to no avail. I turned around to go home. Don’t know why, but I looked up. The reason I hadn’t seen it, is that it’s almost 3 stories high.

Artists: Shalak Attack & Smoky Bruno

However, no matter where I stood, I could not get in the entire piece. I tried finding new spots to shoot from. When I got to the end of the alley, I saw a house for sale. There was an open house in 1 hour!

Artists: Shalak Attack & Smoky Bruno

I’m always looking for an investment. Yay! There was a deck on the back of the house!

For Emmie

I heard about a cat painting on an electric box.

Artist: Alexander Bacon

After walking for an hour with no luck, it was right in front of me. It wasn’t on a box, it was on a silo!

Artist: Alexander Bacon

 I fell in love, and knew it would be for Emmie, even though Emmie looks completely different.

Artist: Alexander Bacon

Emmie (Emily) is Georgiann’s Cat

Artist: Alexander Bacon

The silo is round, and I wondered what the cat was looking at.

I even lucked out with an art shot when the sun came out for 30 seconds.

Graf Artist Bacon w/ ?

It’s an old piece in a parking spot, in an alley in Cabbagetown.

I’m sure the graf writing says BACON. There’s more obscured by the trees.

So, 2 artists probably worked on this.

Cars might block some of the art, but the reflections can be wonderful.

Maybe Jarus is the other.

 

Boogapony Holly

I found this in an alley, & it made me think of Holly from House Of Heart

Artist: Nicolas Canon

I sent a pic to Holly and asked, “Does this look like you?” She answered positively yes, then mentioned something about ducking lightening.

Artist: Resa

Then I muttered I should be doing graffiti tours in Toronto. Holly said she’d drive the bus. Well, one thing lead to another, and we formed the Boogapony Dancers.

Artist: Nicolas Canon

Of course we would need the perfect outfit to dance in front of graffiti, street art and murals. We came up with the outfit you see here.
