Another maddening move by Doug Ford meddling in Toronto where his govt has quietly killed the city's 15 year old green roof bylaw—an industry-leading bylaw that has been copied in cities around the world & helps reduce stormwater runoff & building energy use/costs, as per @thestar.com.

A client who recently commissioned two drawings—his Toronto building & him & his husband on a barn swing—sent me a photo of a gallery wall at his house with the new pieces & a bunch of my prints 🥹🥹

Disappointed to see Toronto’s planning committee not support small-scale retail in n’hoods in their ever growing quest it seems to suck all the charm out of the city. Corner stores & cafes next to houses? The horror.

Hitting like a ray of sun on Strachan Avenue, it’s Pennies! This place always makes me happy when I bike by & so I just had to add it to my Toronto bar series.
Now available as a print at 8x10 or 5x7. Original ink & watercolour also available.
Buy it here: jaketobin.ca/shop/product...

Heading back to Toronto today after decamping to Montreal for the week for a change of scenery.
Montreal's got a special kinda energy. This is a city that knows how to live in its spaces, big or small. Streets, parks, sidewalks, all those tiny balconies. Everything bursts here, in a good way.
