Check out these local graffiti artists getting down and dirty in the summertime heat, to make our city walls more decorative. Such was the scene during the annual Style in Progress event a few Sundays ago in the alleyways around Queen & Portland Streets in downtown Toronto.
Although many of the designs looked quite similar and tended to blend into one another, these two realistic images of men's faces caught my eye for their simplicity and lifelike nature.
Most passerby's don't recognize graffiti tags as they all seem to get lost in the business and commercialization of the downtown core. However, a calm face that appears to be watching you with wisdom is a great way to humanize the streets.
