Are you also responsible for the grey felt hearts that were tied to the bridge near Dundas and Sorauren last year? If so, thanks.

Any way to get one of your red hearts without climbing a pole and tearing one off?]]>

I personally love graffiti art. There is a great stretch on Bloor that you can see from the subway between Keele and Dundas west (I think that first picture from Elicser is from that stretch). In the case of this area, the store/property owners have allowed the art to go up because they were sick of cleaning off the shitty looking tags that highschool kids put up. Now they have beautiful artwork decorating what would otherwise be a bleak stretch of back-alley.

I was wondering if you ever considered changing the page layout of your blog?
Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.
Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two 
images. Maybe you could space it out better?]]>

I just read about the so-called Graffiti Panel that is about to be established to check the city walls and deem the paintings either art or vandalism. But I am afraid the panel members might be prejudiced which would mean that each and every graffiti painting in Toronto could very easily be removed. Do they really think this is the best way to fight vandalism?]]>

I cant even remember what you wrote, but I suspect that leaving angry and hateful comments on a blog post is WAY more pathetic than trying to better your neighbourhood by brightening up a decrepit garage door with vibrant coloured paint. 

I don't endorse illegal activity, and personally prefer legal walls.  But if you want to criticize an entire global counterculture with sweeping and uninformed generalizations, by all means, go for it I'm not stopping you.]]>

Gregory Alan Elliott replying to a comment from bah / AUGUST 10, 2012 AT 06:47 PM
Hey BAH,

I'm not suggesting I'm "superior" by signing my full name. I'm suggesting I take responsibility for my graffiti and street art activities. I have been contacted by property owners and have painted over my work... A slightly different approach compared to anonymous actions of other street artists. Also, taking a small corner of a wall for some of my street poetry hurts no one except those with the most caustic territorial egos. And, in my ongoing attempt to not cause anyone any grief, my graffiti is NOW small and easily removed. So sorry, but I cannot accept your criticism as it is based on your ignorance. The feedback from the smiling hearts has been incredibly positive, except for one or two angry critics like yourself. The smiling hearts appear all over Ontario. Your unproductive critical input proves "A picture is worth a thousand critics". Also, concerning the ten artists above, my favorite is Anser's faces... Are they supposed to be portraits of Causr?
Regards,
Gregory Alan Elliott

-------

If I manage to contact a property owner whose property you have painted on, and I can provide footage of them telling BlogTO they would like you to remove your graffiti, will you do it?

If not, why not?

Graffiti writers do it to improve the community? ha ha ha ha they do it for ego they don't give a shit about anybody but themselves and hope their buddies see their stuff. They don't have the balls to pursue art the difficult, adult way.

Graffiti with permission = 100% support

Graffiti without permission = should be condemned by everyone who cares about the community. It's indefensible.

most graffiti writers I've met care more about their communities than most people. often, they think that taking a drab grey wall or alley garage door and putting up bright and vibrant colours IMPROVES the community. in such cases, perhaps graffiti is ethical; perhaps not if its someone's window.]]>

"It does suck that house owners are forced to pay for taggers but I place the blame on the mayor for that."

I see that you don't blame the people who painted on other people's property without permission.

Why is that?

Because you don't give a shit about the community?]]>

just as a general question, a lot of writers are being dissed without reason here, and i'm not sure why, personally. if people are going to diss any of the artists on this list, I suggest you back up your claims with actual substantive criticism, rather than just insulting people. i don't think anyone takes anonymous insults very seriously, here, but if you're going to hate on someone you should back it up with some CONSTRUCTIVE criticism ]]>

hey Rob. I agree, I think the discussion gets too caught up with trying to define graffiti in terms of "art"-some of it's definitely artful, but not all of it, and as Nick Mount has suggested, sometimes artfulness isn't necessarily the intent at all. great blog btw.]]>

hey everyone thanks for the comments.  
Ya The Yellow Chick = Uber. he's great and is one of the first artists I noticed in graffiti alley. He does some really clever stuff with incorporating the specific location of his pieces into the work. I'll try to do a piece on him soon. My one criticism is that I havent seen anything new by him up in ages, and part of being a good graffiti writer is continuing to get new work up, as much as possible anyway.
Mike from Parkdale: Art Child, Bacon, Case, Water, Wysper; Causr ---agreed, of what I've seen, all of these guys are FANTASTIC writers. Some may not be in Toronto right now though. I know WhISPR has some great pieces up in PArkdale, and I've seen some recent new work by Bacon, but I haven't seen a proper CAUSR in ages, though i'd LOVE TO! Same goes for Art Child man what a killer!

I read this article when it was first posted, and immediately wondered what the response would be. This is pretty much what I expected. A backlash from property owners and Rob-Ford-types and a response from graffiti/street artists, and art-lovers around Toronto. 

Yeah, the article missed some things, and was wrongly titled, but it posed a different perspective, and maybe hoped to change some peoples points of view. 

When you look at all the advertisements and billboards we are constantly bombarded with each day, wouldn't you rather be seeing street-art or graffiti? Sure, you can say you don't want to see it around, but then did anyone ask you if you wanted to see the ads you see every day? 

Like evilone said, most established graffiti artists are property owners as well, and take care to only "vandalize" what the city has given them as a blank slate, not the side of someones home, though alleys are usually fair-game for the graffiti market. 

I find it sad when people can't see graffiti and street-art as an art, because that is what it is. These artists love what they do and no-matter what will keep doing it, sometimes even risking their lives to put their art in a spot where everyone will see it or where it won't be taken down. Graffiti and street art help to give a city its culture, and that's what it eventually comes down to. Imagine Toronto without it. You can't.]]>

My grandparents came to Toronto in 1951, from Italy. They were poor. My grandfather worked three jobs while supporting my grandmother and two children, all while apprenticing as a carpenter. In the early 1970s, they bought the home they still live in, in Little Italy. It was, and remains, a huge point of pride for them that they had the opportunity to come to Canada and live the Canadian dream.

Their garage back onto a laneway. And it is spraypainted frequently. My grandmother cries every time. She doesn't understand why anybody would do this. Every few months, my sister and I remove the new spraypaint and marker. I saw one comment in this thread that dismissed this type of graffiti as the work of high school children. But I recognized the "56 Crew" name in these photos. "56" and "Jose" were on my grandparents' garage. Please, "Jose", leave my grandparents alone.

And without any judgment, I ask all graffiti artists to please consider how their actions may be incredibly hurtful to their fellow citizens who are proud of their homes. They are at least as proud of their property as you are of your best works of art. ]]>

Hey BAH,

I'm not suggesting I'm "superior" by signing my full name. I'm suggesting I take responsibility for my graffiti and street art activities. I have been contacted by property owners and have painted over my work... A slightly different approach compared to anonymous actions of other street artists. Also, taking a small corner of a wall for some of my street poetry hurts no one except those with the most caustic territorial egos. And, in my ongoing attempt to not cause anyone any grief, my graffiti is NOW small and easily removed. So sorry, but I cannot accept your criticism as it is based on your ignorance. The feedback from the smiling hearts has been incredibly positive, except for one or two angry critics like yourself. The smiling hearts appear all over Ontario. Your unproductive critical input proves "A picture is worth a thousand critics". Also, concerning the ten artists above, my favorite is Anser's faces... Are they supposed to be portraits of Causr?
Regards,
Gregory Alan Elliott]]>

I happen to love graffiti and street art.  The skill exhibited in some of the pieces out there is mind blowing, especially when you consider the tools used.

Its so pleasant when you make us writers look like a group of illiterate scumbags who have no desires other than to damage and destroy your property. The reality of it is that while we ARE doing something that is illegal and considered unseemly by many, we are normal everyday people with jobs, educations, and for some, property and businesses of our own. And I for one consider a bare whitewashed wall to be unseemly, or a big fucking billboard advertising vacations for the upper class to be unseemly. while these are not justifications for my acts, who is to say your opinion on what we do is the right one? why do you care so strongly about these empty, bland walls? These alleyways? These rooftops and mail boxes and things that still work the way they are meant to regardless on what may be painted on them? And to try and debase us by making us sound like brainless thugs does absolutely nothing for your cause. I could do the same thing to you. "Man I sure hate these snotnosed little punks, these fucking kids think they can do whatever they want. why dont they get a job so they can be a mindless slave to the status quo? they could get a job as a nice upstanding police officer. The laws should be obeyed without question and all people who dont think so are obviously of a lower intelligence than I." so now that you've mocked me and ive mocked you, where does that leave us?        ]]>

Sorry everyone can't be "down with graff". Maybe the writer simply enjoys the art and wanted to bring attention to some of his favourites. Your statement sounds just like a "hipster" (easy target much) complaining about an article on indie rock bands.

Theoadorno: 

you say: "grafitti is vandalism perpetrated by low-culture trash. calling it art is a vulgarization of the discipline." 

Can you please elaborate on this comment? Why can't it be art? What is "low-culture" and how do you know what perpetrates graffiti? 

I understand you have anger regarding the topic, but I could just as easily tell you that those who do not understand graffiti writers are low-culture trash and calling these people intelligent is a vulgarization of intelligence itself. 

Unfortunately for you, graffiti isn't going anywhere anytime soon. ]]>

You took the words right out of my mouth. 

To all the victims - I'm sorry that your house got targeted - but your anger is pretty much pointless. Yeah, graffiti can be vandalism - but the threats and hatred towards the artists is just fuel for them. 

I don't know what the criteria was for creating this list (if any), but it is definitely lacking. There are key writers/legends/OG's that are missing from this list. ]]>

I've never understood how people can create stuff that beautiful so quickly with just spraypaint and stencils. Graffiti is one of the few interesting pieces of scenery you see on a long GO train ride, and it always brightened up my day just a bit seeing it on the way in and the way home. It's one of those things that helps give life to a city. If you want to live in a homogenized environment move to the suburbs, it's much quieter there too because no one goes outside except in their cars, I'm sure you'd like it a lot better.

How often do graffiti artists paint a mural on a house? I think everyone complaining about graffiti on their homes is probably referring to little tags from high schoolers or whatever. The stuff in this post is obviously not that.]]>

Too bad most of these people are not "writers". There's a difference between graff writers and street artists. And I don't get a sense of why they are "worth knowing about".

Gregory Alan Elliott is the one responsible for those hearts. Personally, I find them highly annoying (more so than Spud's work), probably because he constantly stencils his work over other artists (nice) pieces all over town. In addition to that he also brags about using his real name on everything he has made in the last two decades almost as if he thinks he is superior in the scene for doing so.]]>

I recognize the inherent hypocrisy in 'appreciating' graffiti as art or what have you. I have the luxury of not living in an area of Toronto where my place of residence is likely to be vandalized. That said, I do enjoy the 'art' and documenting it is a hobby. Hate/love it, what have you. It's there and I photograph it. I hope someone out here enjoys the blog, and if you hate it, well, I understand. Poser is a friggin' talented artist.]]>

Haters gonna hate.  You cant really blame people for their negative feelings towards graf, theyre just poor victims.  On the other hand, They are also irrelevant.  No matter how much they gripe and moan about getting their hands on the punk who tagged their garage, graffiti will never stop.  its a fact of life in the city and looking towards embracing the most positive elements of the culture is the only real option for mitigating the negative.

I also agree this piece highlights some wack-ass chumps and skips over some Toronto legends.  Acknowledging the crews that have pioneered and defined the culture would have made more sense, to me.  HSA, KWOTA/TDV, BSM and DOH would have made sense. More recently GH.  There are some half decent artists in KPS but generally they are garbage eating shitbirds (and proud of it), with no talent.

my 2 cents.

Especially when you are stuck with the bill to clean it up/paint over it.  

I do like the look of spray paint art but only when it is endorsed by the property owner or in areas where it is legal/promoted like in the grafitti area in Brooklyn.  We should have a public grafitti area in Toronto and a strict crack down on the vandals defacing property without permission. (not on property owners, but, on the vandals...)]]>

also, not graffiti-related but perhaps of a street-art theme, i love the red or yellow hearts with smiley faces stapled onto hydro poles or any sort of pole. i have no idea who does these but whenever i pass by one it puts a smile on my face.]]>

grafitti is vandalism  perpetrated by low-culture trash. calling it art is a vulgarization of the discipline.

Hey SPUD, if you're reading this, can you do us a favour and just quit? You suck.

I love graffiti and can't imagine living in a city without it, and I get really enjoy seeing the work of these other artists bringing life to what would otherwise be bare concrete walls.

But I'd rather see a bare wall than your name written in block letters. It's shit like yours that gives more talented grafitti artists a bad name.]]>
