Banksy

A friend of mine told me this was a piece by Banksy. This one has been less featured compared to others, if it is indeed him.

Banksys is a graffiti artist from England, and his guerrilla street works have been highly publicized. According to Wikipedia in 2006, he replaced 500 copies of Paris Hilton's cds with his own work, with album covers titled "Why am I famous?" "What have I done?" "What am I for?"

This particular one is one of my favorites (if it is him, which I've been recently informed is not. Oh well):

Graffiti: Ode to dogs

This is painted onto a wall somewhere on the west side of downtown. (If anyone knows the exact location, please comment.) It's an incredible ode to the dog-human connection. It's difficult for me to really understand that someone planned this, doodled, and then decided to paint this on a random wall. But oh well, this is why street art is awesome.

Graffiti at College + Spadina

Somebody spray painted this at College + Spadina. To which I say: true enough. Happy Friday and have a good weekend!
