I spotted these two guys working on this mural two weeks ago along Harbord St and then the week after there was an article in the newspaper about it. They had been commissioned to do the mural and had to do it in one day to have it ready for the release of Justin Beiber's new album. Apparently he had 18 murals of the titles of the songs on the album painted in cities all over the world. The artists for this one are Kyle Howard and Max Sawka who had also done the mural on this wall that they painted over.

Sense a bit of tagging involved as well
Bad boy Beib has his own murals. Interesting. ;))
not a fan of justin bieber, but i hope the mural makes folks smile.
Hmmm. I like the colours but the style reminds too much of tagging. ;))
The message is great and I'm glad the artists are being paid to do this work. It's best I don't comment on the singer.
What a stroke of luck to be able to get the whole story as you have. I quite like it somehow.
It is a good message and as Lauren said so interesting to get the whole story, nice work Pat. The young man got into quite a spot of bother in Australia, I get the impression he thinks he's above the law :)
It took a minute for me to figure out the message, but I like it.
Have a great week!

Marketing!
Not a fan of Bieber either, but nice message nonetheless.
Justin Bieber.. Is that a brand of ale?
I can think of a great many people worth having a mural made for rather than who this one is. A waste of good wall space.
A very nice big tag.
Very colourful, though I wish Biebs would take a ninety year vow of silence and seclusion.
Great shot, Pat. But what a world! Justin Bieber, really? I'm with William, although I'd extend the time from 90 years to eternity!
Everybody has pretty well said what I thought.
Nice color! Though I don't care for the Bieber.
More graffiti than a mural, wasted time anyway...
Not a great fan of tags but I like that you caught them at it!
One day. Wow! Pressure. :-)
It must be a great thing for fans of Bieber.
Tend to agree with the comments thread - but not everyone will associate the sentiment with a song and it's a nice thing quote.
Continuing with you angel theme from previous!
ALOHA, Friend; Thrilled to be back!

I like the mural, Justin Beiber not so much!
Agree with the saying in the mural and love the bicycle next to the mural too!
Fine addition...
Have a Great Week!
Peace :)
Not a good reason for a mural, but this one is dynamic with its bright colors. Not sure about the graffiti lettering?
One day is a short space of time to paint and finish a mural of this size.
Perfect words no matter! I like it.
Glad to see the artists making some money from their talent.
Great words to live by.
Very handsome. I love ;)
These guys are the real deal; Bieber seems more of a poseur. All in all, I'm glad the artists got the work. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
Love watching street artists at work.
