Get your hands on some street art: Deadboy works to be auctioned this weekend

Works by Toronto street artist Deadboy will be sprouting up on walls all over the city this weekend. But you can put down your council-approved graffiti-busting app, these bits of art will be totally legit.

Deadboy’s signature stencil art has been on display at Don’t Tell Mama on Ossington over the last month, and on Saturday evening the original works will be sold by silent auction at the gallery.

The works are all from the show “Under the Influence” and are described in the media release as “mixed-media pieces of stencil art on canvas with acrylic, marker and oils.”

The release, though, is silent when it comes to the obvious thorny dilemma: where on earth do you hang a stencil of the pope being shot?

Don’t Tell Mama Gallery Space, 108 Ossington Ave. April 28, 8 p.m.
