It looks like the owl craze has hit the streets of Vancouver in the form of graffiti. I found the top one on a wall of the Raja Cinema (aka York Theatre) a few weeks ago before the wall was knocked down. I came across my second owl last night as I was waiting for the bus at Hastings and Abbott Street.
I really like these owls on the streets of Vancouver because they’re cute and clever. I hope more of them will make an appearance around East Van.
The coffee cup that says fart. This cracks me up.
I’m really looking forward to the upcoming show of collaborative works by Neal Nolan and Eben Bender. He’s one of my favorite Vancouver-based artists. The above shot is one of his most recent pieces (located on Pender Street), and he was also one of 150 Vancouver artists in last Saturday evening’s “Cheaper Show” in Gastown. His works are done with a mix of airbrush, acrylic, inks, and text, with imagery focused on portraiture.
A full set of Eben’s work on display for Chronicle can be seen on Flickr.
The show opens Friday at Little Mountain Studios on Main Street, and runs until July 7th. Both artists will be in attendance opening night.
