I fell in love with this Sweet(man) mouse the second I saw it!
This is the second section of Nick Sweetman’s fence art that will be gone when the building is finished.
“The best laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men, Gang aft agley,” came to mind thinking about the fence being torn down. Check out the enlarged shot… luv!
Here’s Robert Burns poem – To a Mouse
All sections seem to have butterflies in between.

It seems Nick had some help from “Patch” & (Oben Flats or Of Ben Lats)?

Awww, that makes two of us! What a lovely guy!!!! 🙂 xxxxxx
I just love this work! xxxxxxx 🙂
awe… Must say that cute lil’ guy makes for micey sweet fence art! 🙂 ♥ ❤
Lol! Yeah.. so cute. I should knit a mouse sweater… that being a sweater with a mouse on it!
Hahaha… yes, cute! Or, hmmm… I wonder if someone somewhere out there has designed a knitting pattern for a toy mouse & lil’ sweater 😉 Off to Ravelry! 🙂 ♥ ❤
So wonderful! They have to put it in a park or somewhere where it can live and people can see it.
It’s just crazy! I think, despite being downtown, people just walk by and don’t notice. When I take pics, people notice the crazy lady, glance at what I’m taking shots of, then go on their way. Very few stop to admire.
It is one thing to be indifferent to art, but hating it is another. I have had a few in the street experiences with art haters.
Parks are a great place to put the art. Many of our urban parks are surrounded by it.
Resa, nothing crazy about you, thanks for sharing..you are a real gem!
Aww, thank you, Wendell! The mouse is soo cute!
Fascinating… 🙂
It is very fascinating! The whole street art thing is taking on new dimensions.Check this out! Afghanistan’s ArtLords try to reclaim Kabul – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-35811697
I love his eyes, Resa! (The mouse, I mean.)
Such a shame, and yet what a great way to camouflage (sort of) a building site. The shame is it will probably have to go, as you’ve said. Yet, it is, at least, there for those who enjoy this type of art… some do, some don’t. Like everything, it’s all ‘choice’… 🙂
All choice! Love the concept! Here is a new height to street art: Afghanistan’s ArtLords try to reclaim Kabul – http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-35811697 You will love this BBC article! xoxoxo
I did and do! Art certainly has a ‘loud’ voice, particularly in this scenario. Reminds me of the ‘Make Love not War’ slogan of the 60’s; it filters into the consciousness of those whose choice it parallels. Though, hopefully, it is helping the ‘motive’, but without harming the artists! And yet, I’m sure, they know all too well the possible consequences. (It takes a few good men, as the saying goes.)
And, it seems, there are brilliant artists worldwide. 🙂

The mouse is adorable, I love that it seems like it is peeking from beneath the paint. I am hoping it will be saved!
Everyone here does want it saved, too. However, the thing about street art is …it’s ephemeral.
That is the very reason I am so bound and determined to record as much of it as possible. Much love_Resa xo
I love the mouse and butterflies. The art is magic, and I can’t imagine being indifferent to it. I finally wrote a post for your roses and swan. It took awhile, but I hope you’ll feel it was worth the wait. https://friendlyfairytales.com/2016/04/09/color-of-a-rose/
Well, I just love it & reblogged yesterday! You do such wonderful work!
Thanks, Resa!!
I’m amazed anybody gets anything done with all this cool art to look at, perhaps Toronto should just be an artist’s city where every surface is covered in colourful creations.
I’d vote YES to that. Although, not everyone loves the street art. To each his own. At least we have enough who love it, to keep it happening!
Art is subjective but I’d rather being seeing people create than great swathes of dull concrete everywhere like most places.
