Graffiti Alley

yellow.jpgI took a recent jaunt down the T-dot’s Graffiti Alley, and left with bucketloads of enthusiasm, and some photos. All of the pieces I got shots of are from one block that runs west from Augusta to Portland, between Queen and Richmond, and were created with community approval during the recent Style in Progress event. Since they weren’t worried about persecution at the hands of The Man, the writers were able to take their time and create careful, diverse and truly stunning pieces. It’s basically a free outdoor art gallery. If you’re in Toronto, go check it out, and if you’re not, stay tuned here, as I’ll be uploading more pics throughout the week.
UPDATE: A good site about NYC graffiti, and a good tour of said site, via Boing Boing.

    whack = sucks. I guess our friend here is referring to one of the actual tags and not anything I wrote here.

    Oh.

    I really have to start spending more time in the ghetto then. I’ve been using “Whack” to describe things I love the most. Sort of like Michael Jackson uses “Bad”, you know?

    See?

    See how hip I am?
