East Van

For anyone who grew up or lived in East Vancouver for any length of time, this is a familiar insignia. It has been tattoooed, scrawled/painted on various surfaces, seen on T-shirts and skateboards... and is now a sign on the top of the hill on East 6th Avenue and Clark Drive. This is a permanent structure created by Vancouver artist Ken Lum. His other most notable work are the boats on the roof (Four Boats Stranded) of the Vancouver Art Gallery.
