Vancouver Mural Festival
This afternoon we took a different kind of a walk. Instead of one of the beaches or the forest, this took in the industrial side of the city. Each year there is a mural festival in Vancouver where artists from here and around the world paint the sides of buildings.
There are several blog posts from 2017 this is the first of four.
Right now I am fighting with the flickr web site, which is where I usually put most of my pictures. I had hoped with their new independent status that they would become more reliable. Sadly, they are still far too often showing the “bad panda” excuse page. So I have uploaded this year’s pictures to the WP media library, in case flickr lets you down too.
You can find a map and other useful information on the Vancouver Mural Festival webpage
Sadly an artist coming here from Japan can get no respect from the local moronic “taggers” who have already defaced the mural (bottom right).
I posted a larger stitched panorama on flickr
There are several more new murals on the other side of Main Street. I will try to get to them.

The last two sites are remote from the others, in the industrial port area around the Cordova diversion.
Some of the murals are so large and difficult to get into one shot, so for these I have made large stitched panoramas that are hosted on my flickr photostream

Stace Forand tattoos at the Steveston Tattoo Company, with a focus on contemporary Japanese art.

The northern end of Main Street at Industrial Avenue plus the Red Truck Brewery. There are seven more murals at Makerlabs, 780 East Cordova which are now covered in part 3. I have also now made up for missing half of the murals at Belvedere Court which is the large bottom image in the mosaic as well as the featured image (The Present).
