Jack the Tripper and Just Kathleen pose in front of one of our first of many graffiti murals that hasher saw on this run.

A starter piece.

Hashers pause at a HH outside of the Vancouver Island School of Art.

After a meandering run down-town the following image are in an alley behind the Hotel Rialto.

These are about 4 years old.  The alley is gated, but during the day the gates are open.

Stroke Alone is pointing out a discovery behind a fenced off area.

Here is what was there.

There is more!  Out of the way pieces like these last long as it cost to much to painted over them.

The artist would have had to bring a ladder.

On the way to the next major stop we came across this mural on View street at Quadra.  It's on the street so it didn't last long - less than a year.

The next stop was at the Wildfire Bakery. These are 'invite walls', where the owner is ok with the art.  You will see IBC in the corner of this peice. IBC (Island’s Blessed Children) is a Victoria-based graffiti crew consisting of many artists who now have successful careers in both street and canvas-based art.  This peice and the one next to it were completed May 23^rd.  Less than a month before the run.

Wildfire owner Erika Heyrman calls her bakery “an uncurated art galleryâ€?.  This peice contain an number of artist names.

Wildfires wood shed would be more boring without the graffiti.

A close-up on the design on the side of the wood shed.

This is a 'Throw-up' or 'throwie' which is a widely referenced graffiti term, most commonly used to describe tag-like drawings of bubble letters designed for quick execution (we all know why) of graffiti words, and usually consisting of artist's name and only two colors.

The next stop is at 1580 Cook Street. Once an accounting firm, then an art gallery, and like Wildfire the owner tolerates graffiti art.

The wasp is another piece completed by the same artist who did the first piece shown at Wildfire Bakery.

This piece was found next to the wasp.

Another mural completed by a crew.

Probably one of the oldest pieces in Victoria.  Create in 1994 by Ghost (Hans Fear) this is the last remaining wall pieces of his known to exist.  The 2021 Capital Daily Arts Features 'Rebel music: the story of Victoria street legend Hans Fear'.  The author of the artical writes, "To any aspiring graffiti writer in Victoria ... not being familiar with Ghost would be ... akin to painting a canvas without knowledge of Picasso."  In 2012 I captured another bit of Ghosts art and included it in my 1405 Douglas Street artical on Ghost.  Here is a video 'The Hans Fear book by Peter Allen'.

At religion the hare, Stroke Alone, gets his punishment for such an artful run.

Another shot of the other side of the circle.

This was Brainless' first hash with the VH3.On On!
