It was -20C. I had an errand by Graffiti Alley. I said don’t go into the alley!
I couldn’t control myself. It was rutted ice and snow. I walked in the ruts.
Even if there was nothing new, look how gorgeous the alley is! There is miles of painted alleys & lanes.
I found 5 new pieces. It seems the artists kept going even after the cold set in. I’m so excited, I’m posting one now!
I wore fingerless gloves & wow, whew, thaw time was required.

Oh wow … I really like that one …. Those eyes seems to be telling multiple stories. Thanks for resisting the call to enter the alley.
It is very difficult not to go into a Toronto alley, at least for me. I will be great when the weather warms up a bit, and the fear of slipping on ice is gone.
Warmer weather will come … promise!
Yay! Now that’s a hot promise. 😀
Just not sure when. 😉
Wow, can’t believe it is in a wall, phenomenal piece of art
It’s so great! I’m totally hooked on art painted on walls!
I still don’t see how people can do that, it is truly and art
Oh wow what a beautiful alley. I love the face it’s beautiful! Excellent find Resa ❤(>‿◠)❤
The alley is spectacular! I could live in it, if allowed. It is hard to believe how much art resides in it, until you visit. I’ll bet this network of alleys and lanes is the world’s most awesome outdoor art gallery! ❤ x ❤
Ink Canon… someone is beating me to those exceptional inventions. Pretty picture, too!
I’m sure Mr. Wapojif would come up with a wildly spectacular Ink Canon! Go for it! 😀
I mean… just load a pic into the muzzle, aim and BOOM! Wall done!
Awesome post and photography Resa!
Thank you, Dave! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas, and 2018 will be a good one for you!
She’s beautiful. Great eyes, colors and emotion. So happy you walked into the alley. 🙂
Yeah! I’m happy I did the alley. 😀 It’s an interesting thing to me that street art elates me. This piece made me very, very happy.
I love the close up of the eyes – it seems like there are worlds captured in there. Definitely worth freezing for!
TY! A little chill for a big thrill!!! 😀 😀
Miles of painted alleys and lanes. What an art gallery! Congratulations!
Did you see these wall paintings from the residential area Hammarkullen in Gothenburg, Sweden? http://attsmakalivet.se/kultur-resor/2017/09/hammarkullen-dess-farg-och-symbolik

Thank you for the link! I saw at least one photo of those shots in a previous post of yours.
There is nowhere to hit like on your blog. There is no follow button, but still I enjoy going there. Thank you for your visit, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Happy New Year, Resa!

P.S. I don’t seem to be able to create a link to my blog by entering the adress when I make a comment.
I love this post, Resa, I am smiling. Your enthusiasm and devotion paid off, and many thanks for enduring the cold. Lovely new painting by Canon, lots of mystery and emotion. Graffiti Alley rocks on.
Graffiti Alley is an amazing experience. I feel normal, at home when I am there. It’s very great that there are many other mini alleys around the city. They are all wonderful. Happy New Year, Jet!
Stunningly beautiful… Hugs and happy weekend dear Resa ♥️💋🌹
It is really a fab piece in an amazing alley! Boy, you would LOVE this place. Hope you have something wonderful planned for New Year Eve! I’m being wined and dined at my fave resto!
Many hugs to you dear Aq. 💋🌈❤️🦄
I can see how you could not resist the Alley! Such a gorgeous place. Hats off to Canon!😊❤️
I should just give up my day job, and run graffiti tours! 🦄 I could take music with us. 🎵
Sigh! Now I want to be a Street Art Toronto Guide. 🤡🤡🤡
❤️ I used to want to be a Go-Go Dancer, but they went out of style.
I think being a graffiti tour guide would be fantastic. Imagine doing something one really loves an getting paid for it! Maybe you could have a little go go going on too. Seems sensible and lucrative. 🙂
Well, the Go-Go outfits are a bit skimpy, but I suppose I wouldn’t blind anybody.
I can do the Monkey, The Jerk, oh….oh I can do the Pony!!! 🎵🎵 Mony Mony is perfect for The Pony 🎵🎵 Shoot ’em down turn around come on Mony 🎵🎵
Yes, I would be quite the sensationalistic spectacle, and all in front of murals, garage door art and general graffiti. SIGH!!! Has my time finally come? 😀 ??
😂 don’t forget the boogaloo ! I need to to get up there so I can drive the bus! This could be your big break! I’m so excited 🤗
Boogaloo is okay… alright, I’ll do it with the Pony… the 🎵 Boogapony! 😀
You’ll be the perfect bus driver! Do you have the correct uniform, the one with the gorgeous white Go-Go boots, fishnets and Kenora DinnerJacket? OMG! the KDJ is the most!
You will be unbeatable as a driver…. bus, limo, starship, whatever!
I’m totally into this. Got the boots and jacket. I can be a back up boogapony girl. 👢🚌🤗🥂
Okay, you’ve got the outfit, you’ve got the job. You are totally the #1 boogapony back up gal! I’m all inspired. I’ve got to draw this outfit. Do you look anything like this alley art I found? I did think of you for some reason. https://graffitiglam.files.wordpress.com/2017/12/h1.jpeg I don’t know if this link thing worked.
Oh, yes I look just like that! (ducking lightning) You will find me at the foot of my blog page at the bottom. I like leather.🌺 🙂
There is a strong resemblance. (ducking pigeon poo) I want to post you…er that bit of art. I want to have drawn the “outfit” by then. Did you know Bill Wyman got into the Stones because he owned a good amp. The whole band plugged into it. I’ll do a gag post! $$ OH! We’re on a Pleather budget! Hopefully that doesn’t affect anything.
PS. the comments boxes are getting thin(ish), so if you are crazy enough to answer this comment, start a new comments thread. I’m sure I’ll catch on! ❤️🤡
Bill Wyman owned an Amp. That explains a lot. Get busy young lady, a Pleather budget…I don’t like the sounds of that! Don’t go cutting corners on me…❤️🤡 That’s really me, I put my nose threw shop. Sorry.
Brrrr ! That’s cold ! 🤸♀️👀⛸️❄️⛄💖🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷 xoxox
Yes, yes it is very cold. However, I drank the 5 glasses off wine you sent in your comment, and I’m fine now! xoxo HIC! <#
Have some more dear friend. Happy New Year ! 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷💟😻😻
I’m taking some of these glasses of wine over to my New Year post! HIC! xoxo
2 hours to go here ! HIC ! xoxo 🤪💖🕙🚀🎉🎊🙀🙀
7 hours & 45 minutes over here! YIKES… I should start getting ready for the party! xoxoxo 🤪💖🕙🚀🎉🎊🙀🙀
Have a great time and don’t end up on YouTube. That would be YIKES ! xoxo 🙀🙄🤸
Being a graffiti treasure hunter how could you resist? 🙂 But the surface does look dangerous. And I can feel the -20C
Wishing you a Happy New Year and many amazing discoveries xxxx
Yes, there will be many new discoveries. xxxx I adore your “Year Of The Dog” post! You are very kind, even to oysters(I remember) Look forward to when you return to photograph the cats!!!
Happy New Year! xoxo 😀
Thank you! Happy New year to you too, and yes, I will return when the days get longer and I will take more pictures. They have all sorts of animals and birds there, and some reptiles too xx
Thank you for showing this beauty, braving adverse weather conditions. Wishing you happiness, health, and heartwarming art!
Thank you, Sidran!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you! xoxo
