INDOOR WALL MURAL

GRAFFITI ART WALL MURAL This site specific mural installation features a mix of comic book drawings and abstract cartooning to depict the Toronto skyline as seen from the Yorkville area. Along the bottom of the image there are a whole bunch of cars driving around twisty roadways with an iconic likeness of the Yorkville shopping district running the length of the drawing. This area has a whole bunch of storefronts with trees brickwork and little stairways all of which are very common amongst the classy architecture in that area. Behind all the quaint little shops the city is compiled of cubist styled buildings placed on top of one another. This portion of the illustration combines imaginary shapes with a number of the actual buildings in the area. The effect is interesting as the skyline is instantly recognizable yet completely obscured. There are two walls in this location each representing the skyline from a particular direction. The front wall captures Yorkville and the Four Seasons tower while the back wall depicts the Lakeshore area and Toronto's CN Tower.

These two walls were commissioned by a high end real estate firm who wanted their clients to feel excited to enter the city. The designer who hired me has been really good at finding unique ways to present my work ranging from outdoor graffiti cover ups to sleek interior designs. It was a really nice job as I was asked to go into great detail and was free to play around with perspectives and abstractions as much as I liked. The project took about six days to complete and was done prior to the offices refurnishing and renovations. The completed space featured all white walls with black furniture which was strikingly complimentary to the mural work itself. The overall effect was very iconic as it expressively invited new clients into the adventurous city while maintaining a sleek sophistication which I don't usually associate with my work.
