It's a bird, it's a plane...

Look up, wayyyy up, at the corner of Lansdowne and Bloor:








The stencil goes over an old ALFA roller piece that was recently buffed.  ALFA's untimely death in 2005 really struck a nerve with graffiti artists near and far; it was the first time a local writer had died on the job.

I tried to write "RIP ALFA" to the side of Super Grover, but my freehand lettering still kind of sucks, so I buffed it out.  A shitty tribute is no tribute at all, am I right?  I invite anyone with better skills to climb up there and do it right.  In the meantime, I will keep working on mine.

RIP ALFA, Bardia Bryan Zargham.
