Nick Walker's "Coran Can"
The piece above was done yesterday morning on Quai de Valmy in Central Paris by Nick Walker. It's in response to Sarkozy's decision to ban the burkha. From Nick:
"It's particularly tense in Paris. They are in between elections and the reaction is expected to be quite strong. The police discovered the piece 30 minutes after it was completed and we don't expect it to stay up long. After months of wrangling,The government are believed to be only days away from ratifying the ban."

Fresh Stuff From C215
For us, there's nothing more thrilling than seeing an artist whose work you love, push their work (and themselves) into new areas that (pardon the cliched phrase) takes things to a new level.
We felt just that thrill and excitement when we received a photo of the latest piece by C215.. We're thrilled to see that C215 has begun to find a new voice within his work. We can't wait to see what is to come.

"OUCH!" "THUNK!" "OOF!" "YIPE!"
Photo by Remi Carreiro/Torontoist
Torontoist has a terrific article on a series of site specific stencils that have appeared over the last few days on Harbord Street. Words like "OUCH!" "THUNK!" "OOF!" "YIPE!" have been painted to highlight to cyclists the deep potholes and cracks along the paths. The stencils were done by Urban Repair Squad.
Torontoist quotes a member of the Squad as saying:
"The action-hero drama of dodging obstacles and potholes, escaping devil-may-care drivers in super-fast cars, and braving the fierce, temperamental elements, may seem, and feel, quite comic. Unless you're face-down on the pavement. With some wit, we endeavour to provide warning with humour; suggest danger with comedy; invite caution without frightening...and most importantly, we appeal to our fine city to remember that potholes aren't just uncomfortable, they really, really hurt."
