Each weekend I visit my aunt’s apartment at Jane and Wilson where there is a nearby park. The path I take to get to the park is behind a small plaza, where several different graffiti pieces can be found on the back of each business’ unit. The one located in the center is the piece […]
I like taking the Finch Hydro Recreation Trail on my way back from Glendon campus. One evening, at the intersection between the trail and Grantbook street (see Figure 1), a sign caught my attention (see Figure 2). What appeared to be a simple reminder for automobiles of the crossing of pedestrians and cyclists turned out […]
Whether you are taking a stroll in the neighbourhood, or commuting to school, what you see along the way helps to shape your ideas about that specific location. A run down car, a crooked sign, or even a vacant coffee shop is a tell-tale sign of a change or event that has taken place within […]
I have passed by this graffiti a couple times while driving around in Brampton. Sprayed onto the side of a trailer possibly what looks like a phrase, is crammed up into a corner surrounded by bushes. Around it are residential areas but kind of secluded from everything around it. I never quite noticed this graffiti […]

At the front of the school staff parking lot, adjacent to the sidewalk and an important neighbourhood thoroughfare, sits a garbage dumpster featuring a piece of prominently spray-painted graffiti. The dumpster that's in […]

During the second week of October was when I first noticed this frog-like creature of royalty staring at me, speaking about […]
For my graffiti blog post I decided to do it on a poem that was written in the bathroom stall of the Tim Horton’s in Milton we call “Bronte Tim’s”. Every day I go to hang out with some of the people in Milton with nice cars and trucks, one day I went inside of the […]
To remove metaphorical storm clouds that hover above university students, graffiti or vandalism in carrel desks must stay. Reading and looking at what were written or drawn momentarily brings sunshine to my day (Figure 1). Relatable quotes, conversations, pop culture references (i.e. Harry Potter and Game of Thrones) and other drawn figures amuse me before […]
The fifth floor of Scott Library on York’s Keele campus is reserved for those most dedicated to studying without distraction. The top floor of the library is the place to go if you require absolutely no interruptions while working on that essay or studying for your midterm. And though that space may be void of […]
