KJ Bit Laneway Mural Project Part Two
More garage door murals from the laneway project done back in September. There were only 30 artists painting that weekend. Last year they painted the same alley and it was called “Light up the laneway“. Importantly they continued that theme with ‘light’ yet again this year.
Camila Mural
This artist simply goes by Camila. Apart from this I don’t much about the Camila other than what she has on her Instagram account.
Andrea Rodriguez Murals
Andrea Rodriguez had two murals to paint that weekend.
She did a garage door.
Plus she did a huge wall in kinda an alcove area. Very ambitious of her but they both turned out very well.
“Andrea has an MA in Art Direction, a BDes in Graphic Design, a Typeface Design certificate and a UX Design certificate. Her work has been exhibited in Europe and has been recognized worldwide. She’s based in Toronto (where she grew up), but has lived in Bogota, and Paris as well. Additionally, she loves art, tea, spinning, yoga and dogs.”

This finished mural turned out very well.

In addition he says on his Instagram he’s working on a children’s book about bees.
