With taglines like Be Hap2py! Sexy@Work and Jucy in Bed, how can the Touchi Artist go wrong? I’ve run into the Touchi Artist on numerous occasions as I drift through the intersection of Dundas and Yonge where he spends a lot of his time flogging his ideas. While I don’t know his name (yet), I can point you to his web site which is the next best thing: https://touchiartist.wordpress.com/
There, in addition to discovering his favourite taglines, you can learn about his obsession with an idea he calls blockclerk which, as far as I can figure out, is a mashup of blockchain and local politics. He also promotes meditation and yoga. For good measure, he scribbles his ideas on just about every utility box in a 2 km radius of the Dundas/Yonge intersection.
The thing about the Touchi Artist is that he’s a pretty amiable guy. Whenever I raise my camera and point in his direction, he offers a broad smile and is happy to pose. I suspect he regards himself as a proselyte of his revolutionary breakthrough ideas, so it’s in his best interest to put on his best face and do whatever he can by way of self-promotion. I’m happy to help him in his cause. I have no idea what the cause is, but I’m sure that in his mind it all makes perfect sense.
