I have accumulated a small collection of slaps, stickers, and small paste-ups, that I have seen around the city over the past couple of months. This collection has grown large enough to warrant its own blog post. So here they are….
below: He’s stepping out of the bunny suit in a little paper paste up by sketch nate (aka Nate Galbraith)
below: Looking a bit weathered on this piece of plywood is a paste up by sketchrat, (aka srats) Now Hiring Circus Rats.
below: Two stickers on a pole, the top by drible_drible and the bottom by daughtcalm
below: This old orange stikman has lost his head. In its place is a sticker for eddaviel aka Edison Montero
below: A solemn (depressed?) man with baby.
below: Wires, and more wires, on old wood utility pole.
below: Covered.
below: Contributions from Paranoid, Cherry Whine, and feelings boi. This is the oldest photo in this post; it dates back to TIFF in September. The rabbit poster was a promotion for one of the TIFF movies, Resin.
below: A bunch of words. Honest. Question authority over and over again. Wants to be healthy and happy? Money first. Capitalism. Put them altogether and what do you have?
below: Nice to see that there are still some Rob Ford faces around. He shares this sign with many others including a lovebot, a deluxo xyz, and a blue skull.
below: Time may be a human construct but I’m still tired – sitting in the bottom corner with a head full of flowers, by Sketch Nate.
below: Fake Canada postage stamps as graffiti. An interesting idea. Each of the little red maple leaves on the stamps has a letter in it, P A W. Is this the artist’s initials?
below: Many slaps here – On the bottom tight is one from Pestilencia Worldwide with two of their characters, Ratanic and Scumby. Bottom left – an Urban Ninja Squadron tbonez turned barber. Nixon, lines and shapes by The Forge Fury, and freewill are in the center, and a person hides behind a cute cat mask by Sketch Nate.
below: Another Urban Ninja Squadron, this time with The Forge Fury (aka David Baron) and screaming ‘Your Mom’. Also, Fascism shall be destroyed.
below: These faces, either with eyes missing, or eyes added on top, or some variation on that theme, have sprung up all over the place. These are two of the small ones that I have seen. You can see more of Jeremy’s work on instagram.
below: Lots of silly faces with Urban Ninja Squadron loser, and a cat on its 9th life by Sketch Nate. As for the top poster, so much for Sketch Rat.
below: Urban Ninja Squadron with a playing card Lovebot, the lovebot of hearts.
below: Tbonez with dunzo on top -more of TCF, The Chosen Few. The Forge Fury on the bottom.
below: And now Urban Ninja with Ratanic from Pestilencia Worldwide. I am getting the sense that this a rather incestuous group in that they all know each other and cross pollinate each other’s work.
below: And last but not least, a very small sticker on a pole, xmarks
