    Ken Foster is a Vancouver street artist. His grimy alleyscapes and cigarette-studded portraits are iconic in the community. Despite his inner demons he is one of the most prolific artists around. He got his start on the walls of Vancouver as a notorious and respected graffiti artist. Ken went on to study at Emily Carr and later worked on Film and TV sets, even painting for the Rolling Stones music video "Saint of me". He currently lives in Gastown where his raw creations are quickly snapped up by East Van Twenty-Somethings and high profile collectors alike.

    He seems like a sweetheart! And when he sold it for 50 instead of 80, he's just shy and humble. Cool guy!

      Hi Darling. I work in blood alley and have gotten to know Ken quite well in the past while. He has made me many paintings, and I just wanted to let you know how much he is appreciated. The one he did today for me brought me to tears when he gave it to me. Take care.

    I've seen Ken Foster drawing on the streets of the Downtown Eastside and have been lucky enough to obtain some of his art. This is so cool to find out more about him. Please keep on producing these videos!

    He should be a multi millionaire regardless of his active addictions.

    Awesome video! Ken Foster paintings are amazing, a lot of my friends own one or two before he got more and more well known. Now he represents Vancouver as an artist better than these people who went to art school. He paints from the heart, and no matter how much education you have, you cannot be an artist unless you use your mind, body and soul.
