I'm going to feature the many Toronto tattoo and cannabis outlets that are proliferating around the city.

ART
Fort Smith AKPortuguese artist Bordalo II begins each of his animal sculptures in a grimy hunt for raw materials in junk yards or abandoned factories. Car bumpers, tires, door panels, mountains of malleable plastic bumpers, and even entire vehicles are stacked and bolted to the sides of buildings to resemble everything from pelicans to foxes and tiny rodents. The pieces grow on-site, taking form as he interprets the available materials. As a final detail each animal is finished with a flourish of spray paint that bestows a near lifelike quality.
Through his art, Bordalo II hopes to draw attention to our culture’s uncontrollable production of waste.

...nice ALONE.
...I haven't been to the ANCHOR Bar since the pandemic hit.
Thanks Jackie, take care and stay well.
I love your Junk Art section; "The Cat" is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI stole it, if it's okay with you I may use it on my poem page.
If I do I will give you credit.
I have visited a Tattoo Shop once in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
If I get me a tattoo I was thinking a Butter. Mrs. Jim says
that would be too feminine. Depends on where it goes I guess.

Jim, by all means you can take a copy!
DeleteI don't get the appeal of tattoos.
