In an alley I frequent, I found 11 new pieces today.
I’m still overwhelmed, as it has been 4 years since any new art, and I was there 3 days ago.
What was painted over the weekend is breathtaking. Here’s one Easy Rider! 😀

On a minimal find graf hunt day, I came across this mural.
It was in the process of being painted.
I met the artists.They spoke broken English. I spoke broken Spanish.
Despite the language differences, I learned that the artists were working with youths who had lost one or both parents to drug addiction.
I went back 6 days later to photograph the result.
The ukulele originated in Hawaii. It is related to several Portuguese instruments, in particular the machete and the rajão.

The Artists:
Below is a pic from the day I met the artists, when the kids were helping.
I saw this going by on a street car. It was very high up.
Definitely a large billboard size, I wondered if it was maybe going to be a beer ad, but something felt different than advertising.
I returned 3 weeks later, and no, no ad. It’s art, by one of my absolute faves, Jarus.
Extremely difficult to capture with my camera phone.
I adore the sky blue background, the blue shirt several shades a darker sky blue, the blue grey of the painted cement he sits on, and the green trees in the distance darkened by blue. The painting seems part of the sky and of earth, all at the same time.

The street artists are very busy this summer!
This car is a big hit! Kensington is a popular tourist destination, and everyone wanted their pic taken beside this. I had to hang around for quite awhile to get my shots.
Also, it’s parked in front of one of my fave murals, which I did a post on 2 years ago. I call it Kensington Flower Girl. Check it out!

The artist is unknown to me at this time. As always, I will update, if I find out.
Pravda means true, and I see a struggle.
C’mon dudes! Peace and Flower Power!

Toronto is going all out, hiring many artists to paint power boxes.
This one grabbed me, big time!
At first, the closer I got the better it looked.
Then the farther I got, the better it looked.
I walked away, and realized the other side was just as fabulous!
