Torontonians noticed 1000 of these posters put up around the city in 2010. Everybody wondered who was responsible, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.blogto.com\/arts\/2010\/12\/who_is_the_mysterious_andrew_pasted_around_toronto\/\">until BlogTO broke the story<\/a> that it was artist Shaan Syed&#8217;s project, a memorial to his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theglobeandmail.com\/life\/facts-and-arguments\/andrew-mackenzie-hull\/article1786087\/\">late partner Andrew Hull<\/a> who was killed while cycling in London. He has continued the project in the last year, putting 1000 posters up around Berlin. <a href=\"http:\/\/shaansyed.com\/the-andrew-project\/\">Check out Syed&#8217;s website to see photos of the posters<\/a>, and the alterations people have done to them &#8212; ephemeral public art can take on a life of its own.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"andrew\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7022\/6811887627_14b0d3e871_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Back in Toronto:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Andrew\" src=\"http:\/\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7023\/6811937601_717d9224d1_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The photo above was taken the other day at Bay and Grosvenor, one of a few that are still around.
