Hardcore Beauty: Crews Take5

On By ResaIn Alley Gallery, Graffiti Art, Graffiti Mural, Street Art20 Comments

In a Kensington Market Alley there’s this gorgeous piece.

Garbage #6

The cars were parked away from the wall due to lower shin deep bio-degrading waste garbage co-mingled with general trash.

Garbage #1

I’ve always loved this piece, but had only seen it in pics.

Garbage #2

I’m totally in love with graf art or murals reflected.

Garbage #3

As I attempted to find a path through the trash to get in for close-ups, I was worried a small brownish-grey cat with a long smooth tail and pointy nose might run over a foot.

Garbage #4

Garbage #5

Garbage #7

As I recognize names, I figure this is the CREWS TAKE 5 who painted this marvel.

Garbage #8

Just kidding, but the wolf rules.

Child #1

The official title is “It Takes a Village to Raise a Child”. I see a child, and the village is comprised of animals.

Near Ossington and Bloor, this mural is a revamp of an older mural that was whitewashed over.

I never ever expected to find a tie-dyed Cheech & Chong  graf mural. “HIPPY TRIPPY” may be the official title.
