Drake by LuvSumon Street Art
This is the story of a mural in 16 seconds.
Back in October LuvSumone painted this mural of Drake for @cbc_music to celebrate 10 years of his music. They even had a videographer recording the whole event.
For most of November people took selfies in front of this mural even a Toronto Raptor.
At the end of November someone who obviously wasn’t a Drake fan wrote “rap sucks” on the mural.
The beginning of December another non-Drake fan threw some paint on his face.
A couple of weeks ago LuvSumone fixed it up …
And that is the story .. so far.

I popped into this back alley that I haven’t explored in awhile. I found a whole bunch of new murals. The artist – Flips did a few collabs with RowellSoller in this spot.
Unfortunately, this area gets tagged a lot.
He just DM’ed me ! He fixed it already !

I watched this video which explains why taggers do that they do. Worth a viewing if you are interested in graffiti.
Nektar Garage Door Mural
I was sad to see that this was tagged. He has replaced the tag with this new work.
That is what it looked like before.
Hungr Garage Door Mural
There are a few new murals in this lane way.
I think this is by ArtChild.
I was all excited to discover this until I noticed it’s a paste up.

This used to a pay-what-you-can theatre company. It went out of business but the mural lives on.
Rooster Mural
Found that in a back alley.

Not sure if the rooster is by Fathom or not.. I think it probably is by him.

She just posted this on her Instagram.

Leslie Phelan Mural
This also a part of ad campaign.
“#goodthingscomeinthrees campaign, promoting Ginger, Lime & Jameson cocktails in Toronto & beyond. With this in mind, I envisioned the elements of ginger & lime as a pair of zesty goddesses seducing the iconic green bottle ???? ???? ????”
