I love it! If we had kids just like us, I think the world would be pretty cool. We'd just need to teach them to be nice. :-)Well done, Love with the photos!
If you walk north on Dundas, there was a bridge with colourful graffiti on the posts when I lived near there… are the colours still there? I think it was probably commissioned, but the colours were just so beautiful and bright… I loved it.
Great post. I love it. I've been appreciating / exploring graffiti (not doing it!) for a few years now. I'd say that a good ammount (not all) of the graffiti you posted is legal. Specifically the ones that are very complex and contain big drawings. The more complex it is the more time (and daylight so you can see what you're doing) it takes. I've watched some artists do their thing, and it can take them hours if not days to do a complex mural. Once again, awesome blog.
It's an amazing expression of art – with the exception of those who choose to write dirty or vulgar things.Graffiti art is explosive, emotional, impactful and beautiful. I'm so glad you took that walk.
I was on the same ride only a couple of weeks ago and stared in awe at the brilliance of some of these artists… my fave… the lady! 🙂 Thanks for reminding me of that nice moment when I got lost in the moment!
I have never before appreciated graffiti art until I watched 8 guys paint the mural at Keele Station (your first 6 photos) over the course of a month. Most nights when the parking lot was empty they set up a projector with the images and then paint away. Watching the wall transform before my eyes was inspirational. Thanks Sarah for giving me yet another perspective on the art found within the walls of our own city.
