Hidden from view, the parking lot at Water and Morris Streets (the site of the old Irving Oil Tanks) makes an ideal place for large pieces to be made and displayed. This area is much like the Trans-Canada Tunnel site near New Glasgow, and similar, excellent works flourish here.
Next time you go for a walk on the waterfront, take a right at the Power Station and check out the parking lot - It's well worth the detour. And if you are a fan of graffiti - it's the 'must-see' site in downtown Halifax.

Clearly this location is dynamic - when I revisited it a day later there had been 2 paintovers in the ensuing 24 hours. I had the privilege of meeting SWAY(the creator of the new pieces), who was photographing his own work with a friend.

Haha... well, yeah... he's quite ugly, but indeed a very charming cat. You'd love him if you'd ever meet him. ;-)

Thanks for stopping by my blog! When I first read the name of your blog I thought you worked on corpses or something, lol... this makes MUCH more sense!
Have a great night!
