GUARDIAN Mural by SADAR aka Blazeworks
Blazeworks: Toronto based Mural Artist, Graffiti Artist & Graphic Designer who specializes in custom hand-drawn interior and exterior artwork.
I got to see Sadar working on his latest mural last month. He does some incredible artwork and really fantastic lettering ! He did this one over a few weeks and I popped by to say hello. Even though it was freezing outside he wasn’t bothered and had sure to keep his aerosol cans properly stored.
This spot is at back of an art gallery called LALA Contemporary.
From the Interview :
“SADAR is an Indonesian adjective for being aware, mindful or conscious. “
Being someone who was already heavily in drawing, graffiti almost seemed like a natural progression. After learning about graffiti from an old friend a long time ago. I became addicted to all facets of it. The motivation came from this addiction. I was and still am constantly looking to develop, progress and improve. Seeing your work on the streets also provides a certain type of satisfaction. That is quite unique to graffiti.

This is from his personal website that shows a lot of work !
My creative journey began with the discovery and practice of graffiti. I’ve always been someone with a passion for drawing. Graffiti ignited the creative flame which burned the rest of my artistic path. This passion drove me to pursue a degree in Illustration at OCAD University in Toronto. The stimulating environment of the city provided inspiration to continually practice writing graffiti while improving my skills, and meeting influential people. I discovered that my skills developed through graffiti could be directly applied to creating artworks legally in the form of interior and exterior murals. I began commissioned mural work while still in university and founded Blazeworks.
