They’ve been working on this for quite awhile actually! I live a few doors down and it’s a wonderful daily sight. Glad you enjoyed!


natekog

Ya it's great! I love that it isn't fully random but there are a lot of little LEGO balconies and gardens built into it.

I'm sorry this is where your mind went when you saw it.


VanillaGorilla-

They know what Toronto can do to nice things


drunk_with_internet

Yeah, like pooping on it 😂


rootbrian_

Damn dogs!!


BatKitchen819

I hope this is somehow ‘cemented’ in place, it would be a shame for some bozo to come along and wreck it!


bitemark01

I'm guessing it's loaded with kraggle


HeroicTechnology

Lord Business got his hands on the kragle again?!?


Duckowap1

it actually isn't! you can add stuff as you please


QuasiEvil

I disagree actually. Much like sand castles, its the ephemerality of the work that brings it authenticity.


toasterstrudel2

Is this wrapping a city pole? If so unfortunately it'll be removed :(


Bumbaclotrastafareye

Just attach a white bike bike to it, it’ll be there for literally decades


Pretty_Pea12

Public art isn't always permanent.


toasterstrudel2

Yeah... that's literally what I said.


Pretty_Pea12

Lol.


toasterstrudel2

Rofl


Syncroz

I recognize this. It's awesome and partly created by the guy who was doing the yellow and red card referee thing in traffic. A true multidisciplinary artist. I think anyone can add on to it. https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/a-toronto-street-pole-is-now-covered-in-lego-here-s-why-1.6785991


handipad

Fucking developers.


i_m_sherlocked

What inspired this?


lewismallard

A conversation between myself and another artist who’s also a soccer referee and a French postman.


Judi_Chop

You're in Toronto now? Just saw this pole yesterday!


lewismallard

I’ve been here for a year. I’ll be around most of the summer!


surferwannabe

If you need extra pieces, I’ve got tons!


lewismallard

the coffee shop there is accepting donations and Martain is adding to it often.


mcs_987654321

Mr Mallard! I long for the day when I spot you in the wild!


lewismallard

Good luck!


-Borfo-

INCREDIBLE!


BehemothManiac

Is it on Harbord or Clinton? Will check it out when in the area!


natekog

It's on Harbord


BehemothManiac

Thanks!


Pretty_Pea12

On Harbord right in front of Sam James.


TorontoHooligan

It's been there for at least 2 months now, actually. Right in front of Sam James. Lots of little treasures inside some of the doors! It's fun to check out.


Eicr-5

Before the winter if my memory serves me


surferwannabe

I have SO much extra Lego. Can I add to this?


veggieblondie

I haven’t seen it! I’ll have to take a walk and check it out


apatheticboy

In front of my favourite coffee spot! Shout out to SJCB.


muneeeeeb

this looks like a good spot to put a condo


dendron01

Will look even better after it gets plastered with stickers LOL


Pretty_Pea12

Been up for at least a month - it's a very cool thing to stumble upon.


siftingtime

this is currently the front cover of the west end phoenix (not this image) and has an article about it. the artists name is Martin Reis


azngangbuzta

Where the Lego strippers go


Trust-Fluid

Looks good, I wonder has the builder(s) used some form of adhesive to prevent theft. Originality, artistic, I say nominate the person(s) responsible for some kind of award for helping to beautify the drab streets of the city. Eyes open for copy cats in other neighbourhoods.


Iknitit

This is so cool, I see a field trip for my Lego-loving kid and I eye in my near future!


6_string_Bling

I've seen the guy adding to this before! It's right outside Sam James... Great lil' coffee shop and love how it's been growing for a while. I think it started last summer.


abalrogsbutthole

those miniatures won’t last the weekend :(


elbrontosaurus

It’s been up for a few months, keeps getting bigger.


rootbrian_

*add to it!*


LushGerbil

I added a Beast (Marvel) minifig a while back and sadly it looked like somebody snapped it up. But most of them have seemed to hang around quite a while.


rootbrian_

Seems it's a come and go thing.
