The alley north of Queen Street West, between Northcote Ave and Lisgar Street, has recently been transmogrified with absolutely amazing graffiti. I recommend checking it out. The detailing is intense, the colours vivid, textures fascinating and subjects humorous. I pulled together a few images from my visit… see below.

The graffiti was organized by a group called Style in Progress. They are a not-for-profit that promotes urban art, music and dance. This particular initiative was affiliated with the Drake Hotel. I love alleys in general — they’re such secret little passageways within the city, often uncharted territory — but these are some of the most interesting I’ve seen. Let me know if you have some great graffiti to show off in your hood.
