cha-ching! I travelled there to see the exhibition. Some of the prints are in not that great shape! Missing quite a few prints in the exhibit. for example no donut prints, don't think I saw Choose Your Weapon etc...

It was an OK exhibit but nothing special. Too many people lined up.

Did you make it out to #Hashtag Gallery for the Okuda show while you were in town?

No just the Banksy show

Wish more artists did shows up here. I guess there isn’t enough of a scene?

thanks for sharing... maybe Canadians didn't realize the value or appreciate what banksy art is. Considering it was 2010 and he was not so well know in North America, especially Canada

My goal with #Hashtag is to bring those artists here. Okuda was just the start. I've been going down for Art Week in Miami the past 4 years and meeting artists to build up relationships on an international level. I've been chatting with Alex Yanes down in Miami about doing a show up here, and he's down, we just need to figure out dates/shipping.

Working with some connections to bigger names as well, but that's in early stages still.

We've got local old school graff artist ArtChild showing Sept 21st www.hashtaggallery.com/blogs/shows-events/sept-21-oct-7-artchild-quantum

[shy]

thanks for sharing. Always interesting to see what is happening in various cities

A few pics from the Laneway Light Up project happening in Trinity Bellwoods between Euclid/Palmerston North of Dundas St. W.

[shy]

Cool! Thanks for sharing. Looks like they are painted on laneway garage doors?

and a few on the side of buildings.

Any famous/recognizable street artist works to see?

[bentheartfan]

It is a laneway, one we love strolling down, in a cool part of Toronto, although rapidly gentrifying. Artists are always changing. Some 'high profile' artists have pieces nearby including Shep Fairey (couple of minutes away). A Toronto artist we like, Mathew Del Degan has many of his 'Lovebot' pieces up in the neighborhood.

[shy]

any pics of the Shep Fairey?

On the rear of the Gladstone Hotel:


And off of Queen St nearby:


(not my pics)

very cool! Thanks for sharing!

There's also a giant Phelgm piece, but fairly far northeast (about 30 min transit)

Also a massively long FAILE piece, but I don't have photos of that yet.

If you're around this coming weekend, we've got a solo show with ArtChild starting at #Hashtag on Sept 21, along with a DJ Jazzy Jay: A Retrospective exhibit.

And how could I forget, a great Maya Hayuk a few minutes away. It is huge - maybe 100 feet long or so.

[fonebone45]

True! I forgot about hers! I think parts of it have been tagged now though. I was biking by it a couple weeks ago, and thought I'd seen some tagging.

[bentheartfan]

And some classic Lovebot pieces

Just walked past this mural. Sadly it REALLY hasn't aged well...

[bentheartfan]

Sad ! I feel like that could have been easily kept looking nice. I guess that's the nature of the medium.

Yes some people just have no brains. I know street art is meant to evolve but please this tag is just selfish and thoughtless.

[Pysgod]

Cheap paint

[shy]

ugly colour.

That was just a portion of it. There's about 30 tags on it at this point. To be honest though, not a lot of people know her work, and it's not "of something". The kids that tag these big pieces generally give the good ones by more well known artists more respect.

Nice shots - lovely birdos ! Any other Ontario based members here ?

Any nice local prints or canvases available from Toronto artists ? I have a few up on our walls and always looking for more.

Here are a few links

I'd really like a Daser canvas but it is next to impossible to get one. As far as Toronto graffiti is concerned he and REN are the ones to get imho. 

Just saw this reply. We're actually setting up a show with Ren for around August.

In January we're throwing a joint show with Collective with all the big names painting up Kid Robot Munnys, and a wall piece to go with it. The list of confirmed is coming together nicely!

[fonebone45]

A few new murals popped up near my Gallery. Enjoy

[bentheartfan]

Love the birdo !

Elicser has a brand new one as well. Will take a shot soon.

He and Poser are doing shows with us mid August. Come by if you're in town.
