What a great way to make a positive difference in our town!
"An eye-catching black and white graphic design that materialized on a wall behind Ganges Stationary last week is providing the downtown core with surprising fresh appeal. Located around a forgotten back corner of the building, the mural by 21-year-old artist Tai Dunkley-Whelon transforms a cement brick wall edged by parking into a small pocket of beauty. Hopefully this won't be a one-off experience: the artist has started a proposal with the Salt Spring Chamber of Commerce that could transform the entire island into a virtual outdoor gallery....The building previously hosted some ancient and amateurish graffiti tags, and after looking at it for months, he finally approached Yvonne Crute and her dad...to ask about doing a mural...and all he had to use to convince them was his sketchbook."

As soon as I read the article in this week's paper, I knew I'd be blipping the mural. I'd love to see more like this around town. It was a bit tricky to get a decent shot of it because it's in a corner and cars are parked within a couple of feet of it, so the light wasn't great, but at least you get the idea. This kind of graffiti works for me!
