Working At The Printshop

As many of you may know, probably my favourite aerosol/street artist is Uber5000 (aka Alan Ryan), especially his pieces with the little yellow birds so I was thrilled to spot this installation outside the front door of a printshop just off Queen St W. Obviously this was a paid commission - good to see! For more of his pieces hit the label below.

    Ah, he sold out - he's going main stream with a paid commission! :)

    Fun sign, and a clever way to attract customers to the shop.

    Wow - why did the song working at the car wash go running threw my head? I agree, love his work, love those birds!

    Ah, the rarely spotted Xerox Yellow Bird. Haha. It's heartening to see graffiti artists used for local advertising. You get to be a patron of the arts, while serving your business. Win win. Thanks, Pat, for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.

    Very charming. I like that he copied himself and reduced the size!

    Even artists have to take paid jobs sometimes, great spotting Pat.
