Wow! by: Kwest

In a narrow “Restricted Access” driveway, on the north side of Queen West and a couple of short city blocks west of Dufferin St. lives this fresh beauty. It’s 2 stories high and 35ish feet deep.

Mascot #1“Kwest” is the artist, and I found a lot of interesting elements within  it. I put them in this Slideshow.

Pretty Girls 2

“Diamonds are nice and so are pearls,
but there’s nothing like us pretty girls” (unknown quote)

This quote was submitted  by Le Drake Noir  in the comments section of my post from February 2, 2013 titled “For Your Love”

It has inspired my series of Pretty Girl Posts, so all “Pretty Girl” posts are dedicated to Le Drake Noir.
