Garage Door Finds August & September

I’m going to skip part two of my February stickers.. They are all in that video clip in anyway.

 

Going to go right to more alleyway finds. I barely found any in August. I tend not to do alleys as much in the summer.. mostly because of all the garbage and it kinda smells more in the summer. Even though winter sucks.. you don’t have the smell of rotting food hovering around.

Li Hill Street Art Mural

This one I have never been able to get a photo of because of the traffic. But the road was closed on the 4th and I was able to get a decent picture.

Such a shame that this mural hasn’t been maintained. Aaron Hill is really an original artist. This was done way back in 2013. The concrete has fallen off and the stairwell leading up the ramp is completely tagged. On top all that.. there is a massive nest of pigeons overhead. You literally take your chances walking under here hoping that you won’t get bird poop on your head.

Uber5000 Street Art Mural

Health From Nature Mural

This is actually a Health food store.. but I like the art on the front of the storefront. This picture was taken in the dark.. and I had to stand in the road.

I got a better picture of it.. but this was taken on October 1st.

Mattress Graffiti

Graffiti says “Why won’t anyone sleep with me”.

Fuck Ford Graffiti

There isn’t a day where I don’t see anti Doug Ford Graffiti.. but the guy deserves it.

Emily Mae Rose Garage Door Mural

This was done by Emily Mae Rose and her partner Handsome Hon. She puts raccoons in everything. I actually went down this alley a couple of times. There was a car parked in front the first time around. As you can see !

Young Jarus Street Art Mural

Young Jarus painted this back in November right before he went to Mexico (he has travelled around the world). I couldn’t get a decent picture of it because of the fence. I actually got in trouble for trespassing when I took this picture. This is at the Museum of Canadian Contemporary Art and the building opened a week after I took this picture. Some security guys are very odd.

Door

I just think this door looks like art. But it’s just been weathered over the years. I found it very captivating.

Colin Makes Art Garage Door Murals

So I saw these murals again by Colin Makes Art.. but as you can see the light wasn’t very good.

Sper Street Art Mural

I can’t quite read that..I think says “Sper Oibc”. Anyway.. it was just a little further down the alley from the Emily Mae Rose mural. Funny how you go back and there’s something new.

Be Nice

“Be Nice ! Don’t Pee Here Thank You Please”. I see a lot of these types of signs. They should put some type of bathroom… especially, in areas where there are clubs. Guys pee in the front of stores all the time.
