Mural & Graffiti Art Panels along Central Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – Part 8

Date: Early November 2009.

Location: The back wall of an industrial/commercial building along Central Street, Vancouver British Columbia, Canada (between Station Street and Western Street). Google Maps has a nice Street View showing the location and the panels. Central Street is just a 5 minutes walk south from the Main Street Skytrain Station.

Misc. Notes: This is the eighth part of a series of approximately 25 photographs of the mural and graffiti art panels along Central Street in Vancouver I plan on posting here on Graffiti Near Me. From some of the other panels where the artists tagged their own work, it seems these panels went up around 2007. This mural depicts dark vibrant blue graffiti text overlooking the city-scape of buildings with the beautiful North Shore mountain skyline in the distance. I am unable to descipher the graffiti text, but it appears similar to the artist’s tag in the lower right corner of the photograph – if you can make out what it says, please share in the comments section of this post. If anyone has information about this particular panel, please also share your thoughts. As always, I’d be totally cool if the artist could make some comments about this work.

Technical Notes: The photograph was taken with an Olympus Stylus 300 digital camera (a point-and-click). (Check out cameras and photography equipment on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca.)

From some of the other panels where the artists tagged their own work, it seems these panels went up around 2007. This mural with graffiti-style text reads “broadway” and is tagged by the artist with the name “OLE SCHOOL”. If anyone has information about this particular panel or if you think I’ve missed read the text in the mural, please share your thoughts in the comments section of this post.

Misc. Notes: This is the fifth part of a series of approximately 25 photographs of the mural and graffiti art panels along Central Street in Vancouver I plan on posting here on Graffiti Near Me. From some of the other panels where the artists tagged their own work, it seems these panels went up around 2007. If anyone has information about this particular panel, please share in the comments section of this post. You’ll notice that there are at least three distinct layers in this panel. The back layer is a native inspired design that I don’t know anything about — is it a sun spirit? In the panel it acts like the sun setting/raising over a mountainous skyline (the second layer). If you live on the West Coast of British Columbia, BC, Canada, this is a scene you see on a regular basis (beautiful!). The top most layer is the stylized graffiti lettering which I’m unable to decipher at this time — any suggestions as to what it says?

Misc. Notes: This is the fourth part of a series of approximately 25 photographs of the mural and graffiti art panels along Central Street in Vancouver I plan on posting here on Graffiti Near Me. From some of the other panels where the artists tagged their own work, it seems these panels went up around 2007. The mural panel above features an inukshuk (of the inunnguaq variety) – a “stone landmark or cairn built by humans, used by the Inuit, Inupiat, Kalaallit, Yupik, and other peoples of the Arctic region of North America.”1 The text in the mural reads (if I’m not mistaken): “Inuksuk – Now the People Will Know We Were Here”. Note that the artist uses the spelling ‘inuksuk’ rather than the more common English spelling ‘inukshuk’. ‘Inuksuk’ is the spelling preferred by the Inuit.1 If anyone has information about this particular panel, please share in the comments section of this post.
