I was sorting through older photos recently when I discovered some of street art and graffiti that I saw in an alley near Trinity Bellwoods Park. The photos were taken in February so there is lots of snow in them. I thought that it would be silly to write a blog post in August using cold and snowy photos so I went back the other day to retake the pictures.
The alley is at the north end of Trinity Bellwoods Park, running behind Dundas West between Montrose and Grace. The east end of the alley turns north to exit at Dundas West.

below: There was one garage that had been painted between February when I first saw it and early August when I went back. The two photos below show the garage ‘before’ and ‘after’.

It has since been painted over.
below: Blaze Works has painted this where the Anser face was. Always remember.

the urban art in Toronto is so dope!
There is certainly a lot of good street art all over the city; it’s a great excuse to go exploring!
one of my favourite alleys, and that Birdo horse is one of my all-time top favourite street murals – is the poem “Sun slant low” still visible in a pathway intersection at the north end of the park? it was getting quite faded last time I sought it out, but I was as moved as ever
