The End Mural

Over the last couple of days, I painted a mural in the Mexico City boonies along the train track, finally achieving my lifelong goal of painting a mural by free hand spray painting. I used some stencils too though, and some black acrylic paint. I've been trying to move away from making things so graphic lately, but I was too cheap to buy multiple shades of a colour, so I reverted back to the comfort of the black outline. 

Dead Bird Under a Bridge

I thought I'd lost these!

I painted this one fine Sunday on a day off in Midway, BC under a bridge, over the Kettle river, right by my camp. I hadn't tried free hand spray painting probably since my mural in Barcelona in the Sitges abandoned water park. I was supposed to do this a lot over the course of the summer. I had a crate of spray paint in my car, but I failed miserably except for this one sketch. There's my dead bird, the mascot for winning and free love apparently. It was one of those times when I thought it was terrible and never wanted to look at it again, and then last minute on my way out of Midway at the end of the season I took a picture as an afterthought. I think it's pretty good for having no free hand skills. Getting good at this is on my to do list. I'm thinking about practicing with just dead birds until I get really good at them and figure out my style and some tricks. Also, I think I'm changing my street art name again. It's going to by Y-BOT. Just you wait. 

Capped Deer #3 and #4

These are somewhere out on the Likely Highway, near Beaver Lake Road. We saw one of them every day on our way back from work so that was fun.

My helper monkey. He was even eating a banana.

Squirrel Ford Farts

The mayor of Toronto is a big fucking asshole and for every possible thing anyone with half a brain is against. He was really asking for it when he decided to ''wage a war against graffiti'' because now obviously the streets are covered with countless Ford burns. First lets talk about how ridiculous the words ''wage a war against graffiti'' are. Cities should really stop wasting their fucking time making themselves sterile, ugly and cultureless by wasting millions of dollars on graffiti removal. Check out this website to see some of the pieces:

I posted some of my favorites that made me giggle.
I'm not usually into politics but wish I was in Toronto to help out, it looks fun.
