Annex

 

David Crighton is a Toronto artist and illustrator whose works are of iconic Toronto neighbourhoods and landmarks. Our parents bought the above piece of the Annex neighbourhood in Toronto. Unfortunately some of these landmarks are now gone, like Dooney’s and Book City. Others, like Honest Ed’s, are set to close in the next few years. This is how I will remember the Annex, though, for sure.

The pieces are colourful, bright and punchy but a bit gritty as well. I want to get these for some friends that used to live in Toronto but moved back to other parts of Canada.
