love ain’t safe; you won’t get hurt if you stay chaste

only one blog post today, munchkins, i’ve been in jury duty selection all day, and must return tomorrow! obviously, i can’t talk about the details, and if i end up being selected for this particular case, blogging and tweeting will probably either slow to a crawl, or cease to exist altogether. when i know more, you’ll know more!

civic duty, and all that.

onto today’s graffiti and street art stars!

STARS, I TELLS YA

i’m way behind on photographing this stuff because it happened weeks ago, but i’ve been travelling, so you will forgive my tardiness! remember a few months ago when i photographed Deadboy’s piece up on the construction panelling at shaw and argyle? if you look at that post, he had put his lovely ADORE piece next to the Inside Out Project wheatpastes…

before New Years, renovations occurred…. and while the entirety of the Inside Out Project wheatpastes were removed and painted over, along with all the other graff, ALL OF DEADBOY‘S pieces, including Adore and the Raccoons, were spared!

RESPECT!

but some new stuff has popped up next to Deadboy’s Adore, so let’s take a closer look….

fans of this blog will recognize this style immediately as Joel Richardson‘s. he uses his infamous suited-man stencil and incorporates it into a 911. SO MUCH DOUBLE ENTENDRE. brainsplosion.

and next to it, to show his lurve of the work,of course gregory alan elliot had put his heart of approval.

if you round the corner onto argyle street, you’ll find that richardson wasn’t done with this spot….

he told me that he has erected these little praying halo’d ladies around his hometown, but he didn’t tell me where he had placed them in toronto, so finding this was super exciting!
