Toast Loves Graffiti in Seattle
I was walking down 4th Ave with Dana and Dave, across the street from City Hall and returning from lunch at the Columbia Tower food court, when I was jolted to a stop by a familiar image:
I had seen that adorable little bunny robot toaster before, marked onto the back of a bus seat with a Sharpie:
I love this character: it’s simple, original and adorable. The consistency suggests that one artist is producing the graffiti in various settings and media. I was curious if there was any Internet trail to his or her identity so I went poking around on Google and Flickr. I discovered two other documentations of the graffiti style but, sadly, no clues to the artist.
The first example was a seasonal offering: snow bunny on the bus from Sarah Davies. The second example was found by liquidnight, a street artist herself and documenter thereof: toast loves troll. Liquidnight offered no explanation but was happy to learn of the occurrences. Incidentally, her owls are so pretty and perfect.
Regardless, I will keep looking for more toast loves in Seattle and I would appreciate any information or further examples you can offer. These little mysteries make life so much more beautiful and interesting.
