Garage Door Murals Feel Good Lane Part 2

I couldn’t get all the murals in one post last week. Plus, some of the the murals weren’t complete. I’ll show some more of the amazing art in a second post

This alley was renamed in 2015 and has an interesting story as well.. I found this from a newspaper article.

“It was just months after 24-year-old Barry Luksenberg, who grew up in the neighbourhood, was killed in a motorcycle accident while travelling in Vietnam.

More than 800 people signed an online petition to name a stretch of alley near Barry’s family home — running parallel to St. Clair Ave. W. and west of Arlington Ave. into Graham Park — Feel Good Lane, in honour of his hip hop stage name.

“That part of the process was such a reward for us,” said his father, Leonard Luksenberg, of reading through the comments left on the petition websites.

When the signs go up, they won’t so much be a reminder for Barry’s family, who “think about him all the time anyway,” Leonard said, but a celebration of the spirit he brought.

“I’ll think, this is really going to make a lot of people feel good, and that’s going to make me feel better. I think it will make me sad, too, for a while, but it’s worth it. And I think he would have loved it.””

1) I’m going to start out with Flips @flipsbsc because his artwork is spread around the alley and he actually ties everything all together with his trademark swirls.

Says he’s going to have a solo show next month: “Proud to announce my next solo show and experience: Swirls X Smoke 2!! Happening Nov 17 in Kensington Market!
Come out for a day full of art, music and fun! From noon-6pm the event will be open to the public with live music and art displays. “
