This mural is on the side of Site3.

Alma Art & Walt Ruston Site3 Mural

From the Site3 Website:

Site 3 coLaboratory is a 2,000 square foot member-run makerspace in Toronto’s west end. We are dedicated to making, teaching, learning and thinking about the intersection between art and technology. We make amazing things, and we teach others to make amazing things, too.

I couldn’t find out too much about the artists. Walt Ruston says on his Facebook page that he is a OCAD graduate. Alma Roussy has a website and specializes in caricature illustration.

Site3 Mural 2013

This was the Site3 mural that was there before. Looks like it was created in 2013.

Lewter Gimiks Mural

In that same alley this mural by “Lewter” has been there for years. I posted it earlier thinking it said ‘Giniks‘.. Ooops.

Never Hesitate Mural

There is also this art on the side of a wall. That has been there for years as well and I have no idea who did that artwork.

The east wall by the Value Village was painted for Wall Expressions 2015. Organized by Brooke Somerleigh.

Spotted this art in a box. It didn’t have the usual plaque that goes with other Open Field Collective artworks. It’s an eye exam sculpture.

Back in 2016 Spudbomb created this mural. Unfortunately, there was a fire in the restaurant and they had to relocate. Not sure what will happen to the artwork; it’s been tagged already.

The ivy covers this stencil art by FeelingsBoi in the summer. The wintertime reveals some hidden gems. He uses his art to deal his mental health.

I never knew this was by Mister Soy until recently. It’s apart of another group project just outside the UP train station.

Unfortunately that fence ruined my shot but you get the idea. Karen says on her Instagram that it was her first solo outdoor mural. Turned out very nicely.

I didn’t intend this post to feature so much Spudbomb but I’ll close with another mural by him. He worked with two other artists including Dragon Ball Kree & SPEC.

It was another project sponsored by the City of Toronto.

  1. Nice work here! I have some intel for you about the piece you have labeled Teerox. I made this piece in collaboration with my friend who also writes by a few notable local graffiti names (I’ll neglect to mention for his anonymity’s sake). I got the offer to paint the garage after a neighbour in the area walked by while I was painting a mural on the side of Robert Kananaj Gallery. I had paint leftover, and knew my friend would be into collaborating on something fun and abstract. We basically painted it line-for-line taking turns, eventually generating the composition you’ve photographed. The homeowner later told us he really loved it – and in fact registered the artwork with the city so that it is somehow protected, even if he moves away from the property! We opted to sign the painting semi-anonymously – my friend signing as Teeroy, and myself with initials JH. I attached my website below for your interest – it’s a bit outdated by now, I’ve done some new works since and have some big things in the works coming up soon, hopefully. Thanks kindly

    • Thanks so much for this info .. !

      I love finding awesome artwork in random lane ways. Really appreciate the back story. Sometimes when I stumble upon on these masterpieces I wish I knew how it all came to be. & There’s a lot of us that enjoy finding your work !

      You make the world a brighter and more interesting place !

      Bret

      P.S. I’ll update the Credit !
