I’m not sure who the singer was the first time I ever heard the song “Suzanne”, but it wasn’t Leonard Cohen. I adored it. A couple of decades passed before I realized Leonard Cohen wrote the song. Later, I found out it had originally been a poem.
Who better than to fill in more of the gaps, than Holly. A brilliant poet in her own right, she has inspired me greatly.
This mural is on a wall that runs along a small parkette, where many people take their dogs. This gorgeous Doberman is near the end of about 200 feet of wall.
So, let me start at the beginning, of what is titled “Green Space For All”. I will keep the art in order as we move along the wall.
Between the dogs are colourful burners (aka writing, lettering).
A panorama shot of a section.
More panorama.
Honestly, I only recognize the Doberman and Dalmatians. If you recognize any other breed, let me know!
Occasionally there are 2 burners in a row.
Gorgeous dogs!

Some of the artists:
My dear friend John Howell’s Twiggy has had a big operation. I send them a herd of OXen.
Marina – Art Towards a Happy Day has a beautiful dog named Hera. Hera is part Pitbull, and is loveable. Each year, Marina shares information and misinformation about the breed.
To all who have dogs, please give your doggie a pet or a kiss from me. They won’t know it’s from me, but they will still like it!
Welcome! Or dare I say, “Bad Evening”?
As you can see from our Header, GLAM’sย Hallowe’en post is “Hands & Feet” above the rest, of this post.
So hang onto your skulls, the horror has just begun!
What do you know of horror? I’ll show you horror. Look, it’s our premier running away with greenbelt money.
Bah! The people stopped him in his tracks. I’ve got true horror for you.
The Toronto Blue Jays are in the trash…..again!
What are you complaining about? I’ve been waiting, without food or water, 30 years for them to take the Pennant!
Worst year ever!
Stop all yer whining! Yer buggin’ me. Yer complaints have no teeth.
I have teeth!
Sharp!! You’ve got to try my special yellowing toothpaste!
Forget that wart guy! I’ve got blackening toothpaste.
ENOUGH! Don’t know why I bothered painting you freaks? Nonetheless, until next Hallowe’en, STAY FREAKY!
This post is dedicated to my Hallowe’en Birthday Niece

I’m such a Street Artist groupie! I was thrilled to meet Dems & Doll, while they were painting.
Honestly, we chatted for awhile, exchanged names, I watched them paint for a bitย and now can’t remember their real names.
Anyway, Dems painted this fab face. I went back a couple days later to shoot the finished works.
Here’s Doll painting!
She gave me a wonderful reflective not sticker, with one of her faces. It’s taped on my purse now.

I took some pics of the art piece Doll gave me. It’s actually more monochrome, but I took it at night w/street lights/ overhead light &/or flash. I love it!
From Marina Kanavaki at Art Towards a Happy day, here is the eighth sign of the Zodiac as imagined by Anakreon Kanavakis, Marinaโs father. Seeing each astrological sign go by, in a drawing by him, is adding another joy to my life.
It’s crazy that another month under the sun signs has zoomed by so quickly. I also, for the first time ever, noted that Hallowe’en falls in Scorpio.
Funny how art can hit one.
When I saw these 2 faces, I felt something I know but couldn’t put into words.
It’s got something to with that they are attractive faces,
but the wall is rough.
We all go through rough patches, now and again.
Perhaps that’s whyI love Graffiti Alley art so much.
It’s one big rough patch, but there’s good stuff in it.

Rebecca Budd, host ofย
had GLAM (aka moi) on her podcast. From her home in Vancouver (click on Tea Toast & Trivia to go there), to mine in Toronto
we talked everything Street + Alleys + Art.
Yes, I was a bit squirrelly at first, and think I sound like a chipmunk. However, Don her in residence Sound Man/Audio Engineer did a great job at making it all sound fab. Thank you, Don!
In the end I couldn’t be stopped. I sang like a bird.
Rebecca, here’s some Thank you flowers for you!
