Hardcore Beauty: Crews Take5

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

Cabbage Rose Love

Seemingly painted in 1996, the artist Ryan Dineen has kept this mural in lovely condition.

Located in Cabbagetown, the mural has been well documented in its many years of life.

The cabbages look like big, fat green roses to me. The apple temptation, well, what do you think?
