Early July 2021 Street Art

The middle of the year the street art scene was getting a little busier in Toronto. So many projects were post-phoned or cancelled altogether in 2020. It wasn’t exactly like 2019 again… but there’s alway hope !

Disappointed that all these cars were in the way the day I spotted this mural by Blazeworks. Also disappointed that the one he did with Cruz Art back in 2016 was covered. But that’s how the street art scene goes – changes all the time. Street artist Blazeworks does some incredible lettering.
