Graffiti mural along Central St. in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Graffiti mural along Central St. in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Please click the image to view a larger version.

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. Walk another 5 minutes east and south and you get to OrganicLives where you can get some nice organic raw vegan food.

Misc. Notes: This is the eleventh 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. This graffiti mural features some nice black and red stylized bubble letters (which I’m unable to properly decipher at this time) on top of a faded city background. You can see that the panel is tagged on the lower portion with the date 2007. If anyone has information about this particular panel, please share in the comments section of this post. 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.)

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.

Technical Notes: The photograph was taken with an Olympus Stylus 300 digital camera (a point-and-click).
