Beautiful pink by CHRIS MASSULLA

Interesting contract between the pink flowers and the black and white reflections (?).  Found in Butterfly Way, Toronto, but I don’t see the butterfly.

Hibiscus by TUFFY TATS and HORUS

This beautiful hibiscus is one of a series that can be found in Butterfly Way, Toronto.  I am assuming the butterfly is hiding somewhere.

The Great Attractor

I love this Indigenous take on the Great Attractor, which is the area in the universe millions of galaxies are moving toward.  The image is of a map the galaxies are traveling (the yellow lines) connected to man’s eye/consciousness. This is one of several pieces directly underneath  the Old Mill Subway station in Toronto. Brilliant!

WYSPER does fabulous wildstyle lettering, with vibrant colours that really pop.  I can’t wait to end our lock-down and get back to looking at our street art!

EGR is a graduate of Sheridan College and usually focuses on very large, rather realistic murals.  Her work can be found from Dundas and Dufferin to Queen Street East in Toronto.  Also, I discovered, great to talk to.

SKAM is one of Toronto’s most continually active artists.  His work (a simple version seen above) can be  found all over the downtown core and he has been producing for over  20 years.  Way to go SKAM!

Abbreviated Toronto

A couple of iconic Toronto buildings: the CN Tower and the Skydome. But I think MELS COLEMAN should have also included Graffiti Alley :)  This garage door can be found near Bagpipe Lane.

I forget..

where I was when I found this amazing garage.  My notes say “College Street” but since it goes for miles, I am guessing west of Bathurst (in Toronto of course)
