2023 KJ Bit Garage Door Laneway Jam
At the end of October another laneway jam was put together by KJ Bit.
KJ Bit is an emerging mural arts collective and animators of public space
Blazeworks Mural
Really loving how Blazeworks is evolving as an artist ! Its been amazing watching him transform. He is definitely an artist to watch !
MilkBox Mural
Playful is the word I would use to describe this piece by Milkbox. She has changed her Instagram account (and name) a few times – so you might recognize her artwork under a differently name on my site.
luvs with Faux Bear Artwork
Adding to the collab piece with Blazeworks and Milkbox is Moises (who has also changed his namer several times) with new artist FauxBear
Random Graffiti
When I explore these laneways some of the random graffiti is as interesting to me as the murals.
Drippin Soul Mural
From Ottawa Drippin’ Soul has been involved in the Toronto scene many times over the years. This is third KJ Bit mural that I can recall.
James Wilson Mural
James Wilson is a young Australian artist whose work crosses through the worlds of animation, illustration and painting.
Journeying through the nostalgia of obsolete technology, youth culture and the pitfalls of young love, Wilson’s rose-tinted references look back at the universal growing pains of adolescence and unripe adulthood.
Wilson currently works out of Newfoundland, Canada where he creates visual reactions to his new environment.

Whats Inside Graffiti
Again, sometimes the graffiti is just as fun as the murals.
Jieun Kim Mural
Wonderful mural by Jieun Kim who is also one of the organizers of the laneway events.

This stencil graffiti actually shows up when you do a tour with Google Maps.
