"if you see ken around the downtown eastside, chinatown, or gastown, buy his art or i'll stab you in the neck!" Ken Foster wanders the streets of Vancouver, painting the neighborhoods and selling the paintings he's made on found objects.

Thanks, cross_impact. Somehow I'd never heard of Ken Foster before.

This painting is great.

Looks like he might have got his surgery.

DTES is a fascinating place.

K Foster! I have one of his pieces in my living room, and so do several of my friends. He's really a local legend.
