graffiti is art

Esber - Vancouver
~ crisp lines, nice curves that remind me of soap bubbles or even written musical notes ~

Artchild - Toronto
~ crisp, clean execution, and photgraphed really well against the night sky ~

Mas -Toronto
~ organic looking forms that remind me of roots of a tree ~

****
Stumbled on some graf on someones LJ and thought I'd (re)look at some graf in my former hometown Toronto and added one more to represent Van since I'm out west now. See more here!

bliss: Snatam Kaur

My kundalini yoga journey brought me to the music of Snatam Kaur the maker of beautiful music that vibrates my soul. If I was still in Toronto I would attend the Gurbani Kirtan and also take my kids to the The Children's Peace Hour where she is singing. A free mp3 download of "Gobinda Gobinda Hari Hari" by Snatam Kaur is here. Light a candle, close your eyes, and focus on your third eye. ((((Sat Nam))))

inspiration: not sure yet



I've been looking at Audrey Kawasaki's work lately. I'm mysteriously drawn to the images in her recent paintings.
