Toronto Street Art Graffiti featuring Young Jarus working on Silo mural and smaller wall project dones by Colombian artist Muisca outside tattoo parlour
Young Jarus for Mural Routes
For the past few weeks I’ve been semi-stalking this guy while he worked on this mural.
This is from 10 days ago while he was still working away on it on a life.
I wasn’t really stalking him.. but it’s in my neighbourhood so I made point of swinging by every few days to see how the work progresses and I am a fan of his work. It was really interesting to see it develops overtime.
He had issues with the weather as it turned really rainy for a long period of time. Plus, it got a lot colder during this period. But like the mailmen – these guys work through all sorts of weather and sometimes into the night.
The first time I swung by I actually didn’t get to see Jarus at all but ended up meeting the man who is documenting the entire development project – funny how things like that happen.
Then, just last Saturday I popped by again.. I thought I had missed him as he wasn’t on the lift.. I had gotten accustomed to sort of waving and giving him a thumbs up. After I took a few snaps I turned around and noticed he was taking a break right behind me. So I actually had chance to talk to him for quite a long time.
I found out that this is the same woman who appears in another mural on the same street. I had posted back in February of this year. It was of a woman sitting down holding a cup of coffee with a cat in frame. Very just that particular ‘moment in time’ art.
He’s a really interesting and very humble guy. It was great to finally chat with him. FYI.. He uses both aerosol and paint in his work.
I have another photo of the completed mural that I will post later. Looking forward to seeing more of his work.

Mural by Muisca
From October 12th by @_muisca_ the latest in Toronto by this artist.
From her instagram account she says: “|????????My latest baby on Bloor Street is full of Muisca love and good vibes for my Toronto people???????? Huge thanks to @artinkcollective for the invite ????””
This is outside of a tattoo and piercing studio entrance. The shop is run by George Martinez & Beatrice Costa Bell. I don’t know the history of that wall but I have seen areas like that covered with stickers and graffiti. Its a good way to draw attention their business as well as preventing graffiti.
Judging from her Instagram stories —she is back in Bogota, Colombia – she likes her cat ! Sometimes she pays for accommodation by painting art.. Which I think it a great idea. Oh.. and she really likes her cat ! ????
This type of art is much more common in South America. Which, I think is great as well. Much more refreshing than billboard advertisements that are so prevalent in USA and Canada.
Hope she comes back to Toronto. But I completely understand if she decides to pass on Canadian winter !
