Continuing with graffiti theme, art cubed

The old Canada Malt factory which used to supply malted barley to half of America was long ago shut down and moved to a modern facility closer to the Peel basin. Nowadays, the maltage building is more famous as an outdoor gallery for street art. Sitting on top is the famous Pink House, although today I was on the other side of the canal and painted at distance. The painting was done on top of an old doodleism painting that I cut up awhile ago, which explains the psychedelic flowers and odd shapes in the sky and faintly visible under the grass and silos. Biological Immortality was the name of the painting, you can see the title  up on one of the silos.

This is art cubed. I am standing on the sidewalk next to the Zen Factory, looking through a grid of shattered windows into the interior of the building, which opens up to an even deeper interior area. A window off in the distance provides an eerie illumination. All this, painted on top of an abstract painting, and with my own graffiti-inspired designs superimposed. Talk about taking risks! At least I was safe, other than the smell of damp concrete and mold wafting out of the place, I was standing behind a tall fence looking in. Warning signs adorn the building all over, its not stable and could be contaminated. It didn't bother the graffiti artists, I could see the whole interior covered in large wall art pieces. PJD25, SODAX, and D-Dawg all left their marks.

Lastly, I made a painting of the Zen Factory in profile, letting the under-painting do the talking instead of applying any graffiti-inspired lines on top. Who knows what this factory used to be be, but now, it is a playground for artists, both graffiti and watercolour apparently.
