Bubblz+Phade Interviewed by Toronto Sun-Legal Graffiti Art

The Six String Nation Guitar http://sixstringnation.com mural was planned for the rear of the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern on Queen St W at Spadina Ave, Toronto, ON Canada.

Funding for the mural was organized by Jowi Taylor and Community CAVE from the Toronto Creative Arts Festival http://Luminato.com

There was an issue in the graffiti culture over two longstanding 'Twistoe' tags on the rear of the Horseshoe. Twistoe is a legendary graffiti writer from San Francisco. The organizers from Communities Advancing Valued Environments (C.A.V.E.) http://CommunityCAVE.com tried to contact Twistoe without success to include him in the project. In the end, the legal graffiti artists Bubblz and Phade decided to leave the Twistoe tags and incorporate them into the Six String NAtion Guitar mural project.. however.... at the last minute..

The landlord of the building refused permission for the mural.. so the project moved to Lee's Palace, 529 Bloor St W... see many other videos about this project on this YouTube channel..

This video shows legal graffiti artists Bubblz and Phade being interviewed by Toronto Sun Columnist Mike Strobel on the topic of making a distinction between vandalsim graffiti and legal graffiti art.
