Traffic Electrical Signal Box Artwork
Catching up with another ‘box’ post.. I’m focusing on mostly Traffic signal boxes that I found in 2018.
Jeff BlackBurn Street Art Traffic Box
Another raccoon by Jeff Blackburn (who just had a baby btw!). I think he said there are 8 of these by him with raccoons. I have only found 5 so far.

This raccoon by Jeff Blackburn is in a tourist friendly area. Which is why I am guessing he is carrying a camera.

Tak Bui Street Art Traffic Box
Tak Bui has a lot of outdoor art. I think this is the 3rd traffic signal box that I have discovered. Although, it was sunny the day I found this.. as you can see.. it was ‘raining cats and dogs”.

Wide Open Street Art Traffic Box
I can’t find any information about this traffic signal box. I think sometimes people just paint on them because they can.

Bkez Street Art Traffic Box
This is by Bareket. She said on her Instagram in July: “6 years ago I painted my first mural on a utility box and it changed the direction of my life. That experience helped me realize that adding my colourful creations to the streets makes me feel connected and alive. Thanks @start_streetartoronto for giving my first opportunity and for having me back every year since.”

Penny Street Art Box
Ok I am including this because I used to live down the street for this. She has been doing the art on this box since 2012. She glues pennies to the box and she calls it the “Penny Art Project’. The only problem is.. well people were stealing the pennies.

Stove Street Art Traffic Box
Another one that I don’t know who it is by.. I’ve only seen this in the summer.. but I imagine in the winter it might bring some warmth. To be honest.. I find it very odd… but to each their own.

Jane Jacobs Street Art Traffic Box
This one again I don’t know who it is by.. I did a walk about so you get a better picture. Jane Jacobs was an author.. from Wiki: ” Her book The Death and Life of Great American Cities argued that urban renewal did not respect the needs of city-dwellers.”
