Iconic 'Nobody Likes Me' Stanley Park art commemorated with print release

May 9 2019, 2:15 am

One of Vancouver’s best street artists, iHeart, is having a party this Thursday to commemorate the five-year anniversary of one of the most iconic pieces of street art in Vancouver.

“Nobody Likes Me” is a wheat-paste stencilled mural that was originally displayed in Stanley Park near an underpass in Second Beach in 2014.

It paints a sad reality of today’s social media “liked/favourited/retweeted” driven society — and depicts a young boy crying over having zero likes or comments on his Instagram.

It was given a massive boost by street artist Banksy when the anonymous artist posted a pic of it to his Facebook page.

The party for iHeart’s art is happening in Yaletown, and will honour the piece. It also marks the official release of its print — with all pieces hand painted on top of the silkscreen print, with unique variations by iHeart, hand worked and pressed by master printer, Ben Duncan.
